This is my spin on a recipe I found on Kayotic Kitchen a few weeks ago and think they would be a really nice dish along side an Easter Ham. Kay used Feta in hers but after reading through some of the comments she said that any cheese should work and even though I had some […]
I’m not overly fond of raw broccoli. That may explain how this salad stayed under my radar for so long. We have a specialty food market in town. They carry almost every exotic, hard to find and uber-expensive ingredient you can think of. They also have a full service specialty deli counter with a full-time Chef as well […]
Wednesday is leftover or pantry-heat-and-eat night. Since we didn’t have enough leftovers to make a meal out of, that meant a pantry dish. The one thing I wanted to use was some of the potatoes I purchased a couple of weeks ago because they are just starting to turn soft. I also had some leftover shredded cabbage […]
I think it was back around the time of the Super Bowl I saw this floating around Pinterest. It seemed to be pretty popular so I clicked on it to see what the recipe was. The original blogger credits the recipe to King’s Hawaiian, the maker of those little, soft, sweet rolls that are available in […]
This was truly and honestly one of the best dishes we’ve had in weeks and we have been eating some pretty good food lately. You know how some dishes will zing across your taste buds and blow you away while others subtly hit all the right spots and all you can do is nod your head […]
Not a bad shopping trip today. I’d still like to see it lower since gas in my neighborhood has officially passed the $4.00 mark. $4.03 today with no end in sight. And no meat today either, aside from two packages of hot dogs to toss in the deep freeze. Beef prices are going up again around […]

A long, long time ago, in a dark and enchanted forest, a young girl took some leftover party dip and turned it into a grilled cheese sandwich. And it was awesome. And the rest, as they say, is history. While in all reality, the girl may not have been so young at the time but the dip was in […]
Every once in a while I like to have Appetizers for dinner. Let’s face it. Finger Foods are FUN! And they’re almost always AWESOME. Admittedly, they may not always be good for the waistline but that’s why we have the word moderation, right? And I thought it would be a fun twist for another Meatless […]
Because our freezers stay fairly well stocked I’m able to plan our proteins based on whatever sounds good at the time and try to incorporate them around whatever produce is in season and cheapest at the moment. When I made the menu for this week I was thinking I had boneless loin chops and that […]
For the past several years I was a participant on a fairly large recipe board. I posted my reviews and photos of the food I prepared. I was happy to do so and felt safe in doing it but I no longer participate. In November 2011 I was made aware that some of my photos […]
The Burlesque Baker paid me a visit a few days ago and I checked out her blog. The first thing I saw on her site was her recipe for My Mom’s (Healthy) Popovers and I knew I had to make them! I never realized Popovers were SO simple!! I thought you had to have the special Popover-Pan […]
Everything about yesterday, and this dish, came together in a way that I couldn’t have planned better if I tried. Turns out my menu plan and yesterday’s weather were in perfect harmony. Menu – Glazed Salmon with Broccoli-Rice, Broccoli Salad and Grilled Pineapple. Weather - mid 70′s, humidity almost zero, easterly breeze off the ocean, bright blue skies […]
I try to alternate our Friday Night Foods between things that are fun-foods or homemade versions of take-out. Lately its been all about burgers and different ways to bring big flavors to that little patty between two buns. I went searching for the best burger recipes a while back and have had this one tucked […]
No Fridge pictures today. In between doctor appointments today this is what Mr. Foodie and I gathered. Not one single ounce of meat. Well, if you want to include the little 29¢ frozen Beef and Bean Burrito thing he tossed in the buggy at Aldi as a quickie lunch for when we got home before rushing […]
Thursday used to be leftover day but since I’m trying to bump our meatless meals to twice a week I’ve moved leftovers to Wednesday and in addition to Monday am making Thursday a meatless night as well. Tonight I was going to make a cabbage dish…aren’t we all swimming in cabbage right now?…but something came […]
Rachael Ray. Most people either love her or hate her. We happen to enjoy her. A lot. Yes, she’s a little weird but we like her weirdness. When she’s getting down to the nitty-gritty of some of her famous 30 Minute Meals she starts slinging and slopping food everywhere. We’ve seen things roll off the counter and once we watched […]
One of Mr. Foodies favorite things to eat is a good Fish Taco. A few years ago I went searching for an awesome recipe to dish up. Along the way I found this recipe and what we discovered is we absolutely love the coleslaw portion and I’ve been serving it up as a side dish […]
I SO NAILED THIS ONE! For Meatless Monday I had planned on concocting a new bean patty tonight but I had a wicked craving for a pasta dinner which is unusual for me. But, the white beans still sounded good, too. AND, I wanted a salty, comforting Brown Butter instead of any other kind of sauce. Off I […]
Some people watch football, others golf and still others tennis. Mr. Foodie and I watch NASCAR on Sunday and we have certain food traditions that revolve around the sport. YES! It. is. a. sport. The Daytona 500 is always ushered in with Buffalo Wings (although that didn’t happen this year since Mr. Foodie was out of town) as is […]
