Mr. Foodie and I love grilled vegetables. They make frequent appearances through out our meals, especially in summer. When I saw Juliet’s Mediterranean Wraps I knew this was a dish that had to make an appearance on our menu STAT! I made very few changes to her original recipe because I could tell it really […]
This was the last thing I made a few weeks ago when I found all those avocado’s on sale. I was skeptical but it totally rocked! The directions say to marinate the chicken for three minutes. I thought there’s No Way but I followed directions…well, actually I marinated for six minutes while Mr. Foodie was […]
I don’t know if you missed me but I sure missed you!! Things got totally out of control around here! We’ve had crappy, stormy weather on and off for weeks (trying to get in our summer rainy season) and seems like no matter what time I cook I can’t beat the weather to get good […]
Hmmmm…I didn’t post last week. This is where we stood last week… Not one spare inch in the deep freeze. Nada. . . . . . Also stuffed. Totally. . . Shopping. Over my attempted $50 a week again. I splurged on the Feta, that was $10 but with summer here we will be eating […]
Here’s the link to the three features! Fantastic Foods Friday I’ve Facebooked, Tweeted and Pinned them all! No new party this week. Got some “summer time” stuff to take care of and need to work my way in to a new summer routine. Hopefully I can start again in a few weeks. Enjoy your weekend […]
This was inspired by Jennifer at The Foodery. Last month I hosted a recipe sharing party and Jennifer brought her totally gorgeous and totally healthy Avocado Key Lime Parfaits. When avocados went on sale a couple weeks ago I knew immediately I was making this dessert. Unfortunately, I didn’t have all the super-healthy ingredients Jennifer used […]
Here is another installment of what I did with all those avocado’s (and limes) I bought a while back… I was looking for a totally different recipe, something I had heard of but couldn’t recall the name. This popped up in the ol’ googler and I thought it looked terrific and the other recipe was […]
This is something I found on EatingWell a few years ago and something Mr. Foodie and I enjoy at least once a year. As soon I realized Avocado’s were on sale at Aldi I knew they would make the rotation again. Creamy Avocado White Bean Wraps slightly adapted from EatingWell 2 tablespoons cider vinegar (I […]
A couple weeks ago we tried Spinach-Cheese Bake from Susan at Our Kitchen Inventions. We loved it and both of us agreed it would probably be just as delicious with Feta Cheese. We were right. It was a delicious brunch. Spinach-Feta Bake 1 tablespoon butter, melted Cooking spray 9 ounces fresh baby spinach 4 ounces […]
Ever heard the song “If Loving You Is Wrong, I Don’t Want To Be Right”? I’ve mentioned before I’m pretty much a seafood purist. I like my fish to be kept on the simple side and even though I’ve seen recipes similar to this for years I have avoided them like the plague. Are we, […]
Here is the link to see this week’s features…Fantastic Frugal Foods from Justa’s Kitchen A new link is ready and waiting so let’s get another party started!
Seriously. These burgers were The Bomb…A Delicious Smoky Bomb. These rank within our Top Five Favorite Burgers. And that’s sayin’ somethin’ because we L.O.V.E burgers! The original name of the recipe is called Spicy Turkey Burgers. We didn’t find them spicy at all, even though I used some homemade Extra-Hot Salsa that Mr. Foodie canned […]
Thursday is the second night of the week where we try to eat meatless. One thing I’ve never cooked or eaten before is Lentils. Mr. Foodie had told me at one point he didn’t really care for them but I figured it was about time he revisited them so I bought two bags, the typical […]
A couple weeks ago when I cleaned out and organized the main freezer I found yet another baggie of pineapple. It had fallen flat inside the door tray so whenever I reached in I thought I was feeling the bottom of the bin. Still wanting to clean out some of the older stuff I decided […]
This was a SMASHING success! One of our favorite Meatless Mondays so far. I’m always on the hunt for new ways to incorporate more meatless meals in to our rotation and when I found this on Whole Living I knew it was a must-try. These are Fannnnn-Tastic!! I also want to give another shout out […]
I have to start this out by saying three things…the combination of chicken and pasta/marinara sauce is not a favorite of Mr. Foodies. He’ll eat it on occasion without complaint but it’s not something I can put in front of him on a regular basis so when he gave this two thumbs up I KNEW […]
We had this salad with our Meatless Monday meal that I’ll be posting about on, well, Monday. I thought it was so pretty I had to share. The salad had Romaine, Iceberg, Red Pepper, Tomato, Red Cabbage, Cucumber, Carrot, Celery, Onion, Feta and Kalamata Olives. The dressing came from Allrecipes and was adapted based on […]
Today Today’s shopping trip…$83.80 Over my self-imposed budget of $50 for the week but I decided to get some spare ribs that were on sale for $2.49 pound. That was $27.00. But my big score was strawberries. Aldi had them on in store clearance for 25 cents pound!! Some of them have already gone soft, […]
Thank you to everyone who participated in my first Blogger Recipe Link Up Party! To see the participants and what they shared go here and scroll down to the thumbnails. I just finished all the features and started a whole new party, Fantastic Foods Friday #2. Please take a minute to check it out and […]
I have no doubt there are some awesome recipes out there for this. I’m just posting to offer up something different to do on your family pizza night and/or a way to use up some things you might have on hand. I’ve always been under the impression that Stromboli’s are filled with meat and cheese […]
