Exploring Culinary Delights and Unforgettable Destinations.
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Hood. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. One of my very favorite things in this world is sour cream. It’s so […]
This is just the perfect thing to throw together during these busy times ahead. Throw some cheap lamb chops in the slow cooker, slice up some salad ingredients and put it all together into Lebanese bread, a tortilla or even on a bread roll, and you’ve […]
Real men love ranch eggs. Huevos Rancheros Casserole: spicy, cheesy, and a cinch to make, is my husband’s idea of “man food.” Full of protein and lycopene (good for men’s health), Huevos Rancheros Casserole is a patchwork of homemade tomato salsa, cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Asadero cheeses, […]
How is your summer going? I’m loving it! Actually we are on vacation right now. I’m laid back and enjoying the ride, while my hubby is driving us to pick up four of our grandchildren. This is going to be a great week, I’m so […]
There is no need to buy a can of soup that has sat on the market shelf for who knows how long and has a metallic taste. It’s super easy to make your own and it’s super healthy, completely adaptable to your own tastes. I […]
Appease your picky taste with this garlic brown sugar chicken recipe. Why settle for average l, when you can have the best of both worlds in this sweet, salty, and savoury chicken dish? Ingredients 2 pieces of chicken breasts 2 cloves of easily fresh peeled garlic, […]
I didn’t grow any beets this year. I didn’t bother to try, because in past years the rabbits have eaten them. Buying beets from the farmer’s market is a good compromise (and a great way to support local growers). The most important piece of advice […]
At some point this summer, I’m sure you’ve seen it. Almost positive you’ve seen it. The lame, hasn’t-changed-since-the-1980s fruit salad. You know exactly what I’m talking about. It has melons and grapes and strawberries. If you’re lucky, it has some kiwi too. I think it’s […]
We had extra bananas on hand, so I thought why not bake with them! My typical go-to baked good with bananas is Banana bread. But I wanted to make something more sweeter and more special 🙂 – I thought Banana Cake. Although they seem similar, […]
I just flew in from Miami and, boy, are my arms tired. Did I just say that? Apparently, my husband’s old man humor is rubbing off on me. I did just get back from a blogging conference in Miami, BlogHer Food ’14. While I was there, […]
Okay friends, let’s talk about tips for the best baked doughnuts. Now these are baked, so we already avoid the main frustrations of frying and dough-rising and all that jazz. Though I use my stand mixer to whip up this batter (because it is very […]
Pierogi happen to be one of my favorite types of dumplings. Did you know, by the way, that the plural of pierogi is pierogi? It’s like fish or deer, only tastier and more fun to say. So I can say “I ate all the pierogi […]
I will admit to being extremely exhausted, but in the best possible way. It’s a little rough adjusting to the 9-5 schedule when you’re used to 11-4; but like I said, it’s a good kind of tired. I have an absolutely wonderful group of students […]
Friends, strata is another word for “breakfast casserole”. I’m sure at least a few of you have heard this term. I can’t be the only one who uses this word to describe a breakfast casserole that involves day-old or stale bread and a combination of […]
So, as you can imagine, it snowed again up here in NJ, and this time it stuck. Though I absolutely adore the snow, since it makes singing “Let it Snow” and “Winter Wonderland” so much more fitting, I vastly underestimated my dislike of ice. Ice, […]
