I had this for the first time because my friend Annie brought it to a pot luck. It’s delicious, and happens to be healthy also (I think she may have said it comes from a South beach diet cookbook?). The purple cabbage is colorful and beautiful. A very easy, fast salad to make. Keeps great...
Easy, stress-free meals begin with organized shopping trips. Just like so many good habits in life, sometimes I get this right and sometimes I don’t.
I can tell you that on the weeks I plan a little bit, life is easier. I can also tell you, that making a list and shopping once a week is...
One of the first videos I ever filmed was for this salad. It was short, and you really never got to see what the salad looked like (mostly, I just talked about it).
So, I just did another video of the same salad, and this time the camera is focused on the food. You’ll even learn...
Years ago, I wanted to write a cookbook called Yuppie food made with white trash ingredients. This salad would have been included in that cookbook. You brown Ramen noodles in butter, for goodness sake. If that’s not lowbrow, I don’t know what is.
But when it’s all dressed and plated, it’s a beautiful salad, and everyone...
I like to call this sort of dish swanky white trash … or, who am I kidding, maybe just plain ‘ol white trash. There’s a very good chance the swanky part is all in my head.
We had an Easter brunch yesterday and they were served along side mimosa’s and vegetarian quiche. Plus, I totally served...
Here’s my lunch plate yesterday:
I warmed up leftover pesto pizza and made a quick salad of greens my friend, Marshall Sanders, makes here locally.
Tuesday nights I work late. My amazing hubby handles the kids and makes dinner (and usually cleans the dishes up too … he’s my hero!) For my part, I usually try to...
I’ve been a pitiful blogger this past week. The runny nose season has hit our household, and I always get every cold the kids have. We also took a quick trip to Florida (My favorite pic from the weekend)…
…but back to the main topic, granola balls.
My friend, Diana, made these for a party one day,...
This recipe came from my mother-in-law. You will see lots of recipes from her and her hubby (my father-in-law) because they are amazing cooks and top notch entertainers. I have learned so much from them, and our lives together have only just begun (in the scope of things).
You know how when there’s a bowl of...
As I sit here, at my desk, eating one of these little meatloves right now, I thought I’d share the recipe.
My thoughts are this: These things are super spicy! I love them that way, but if you don’t like spicy food, cut the chipotle pepper down to one, as well as reduce the chipotle sauce...
This recipe comes from a friend’s mom. She’s a great cook. I still use the scribbled post-it I used to write down her quiche recipe years ago. It’s been spilled on and stained over the years, but I can’t get rid of that pitiful looking post-it…
Quiche is my what-the-heck’s-for-dinner workhorse. I can have it assembled...
