Last weekend, my best buds and I had a “staycation” in Lavalette. No kids, no hubs, no computers which resulted in me wandering around from room to room in the house wondering what the heck to do with myself. But, once I got acclimated with the offline world (as I clutched my blackberry) I was [...]
Well, it’s Win It Wednesday once again. My how the week has flown by. This week’s lucky winner of the variety pack from FoodShouldTasteGood is…….. Sue says…. I’d love to try the Sweet Potato. Thanks for sharing~ Congratulations Sue. I guess you’ll get to try the Sweet Potato chips and all of the other terrific [...]
Here’s a simple salad that is great for the winter when ripe tomatoes are no where to be found. It’s also a great way to stretch a steak. You can use whatever steak is on sale or that you prefer. This time around we used Shell Steaks. Flank steak would be great, even London Broil [...]
One of my favorite dishes to bring during the Holidays is this Green Bean Casserole. This recipe has nothing to do with cream of mushroom soup or French’s French Fried Onions. The original recipe I discovered a few years ago in Martha Stewart Living Magazine. It’s not complicated, but it is a process. If you [...]
Okay, not one of my best pictures. Its hard to make lentils pretty, but, I have to say, this was pretty tasty and healthy, not to mention, cheap. Gotta love cheap these days. I know I have dissed the whole casserole concept in the past and rightly so. I promise we will not be calling [...]
It’s count down time to Thanksgiving as we all know. It’s also that time of year when the great Yam vs. Sweet Potato debate surfaces once again as folks scurry to candy, bake, broil, puree and mash these spuds into every side dish known to man. So, lets put the debate to rest once and [...]
How does that old Gershwin tune go? It’s summer time and the living is easy? HA! What a bunch of hooey. When you own your own business and work from home, summer time means less time to get things done. I have to get done in 3 hours what I was unable to get done [...]
I came up with this recipe a few years ago when I was South Beachin’ it. The original recipe came from Sara Moulton and called for heavy cream and a few other ingredients that did not appeal to me. So, here’s my modified version. It is delicious and in honor of good old St. Patrick [...]
So, in my quest for food with attitude, I am always on the lookout for less fattening substitutes to good old fashion white rice. While I like brown rice and cook it often, it is really hard to get brown rice to taste like anything but brown rice. This is why Quinoa is my new [...]
Here’s a super easy, delicious and healthy salad for the winter months. I use The Salad Queen’s Walnut Orange Ginger dressing on the spinach which is just so darn good. The salad dressing is on the sweet side which I like, but I’m sure you could use any salad dressing you like. This salad is [...]
