060412 COCONUT CHICKEN 3

Coconut Crusted Chicken

Hey Juliet…You might want to take note of this one!  It’s got Coconut which I KNOW is your favorite!  In case you haven’t come across Juliet’s blog it’s BEEsyMama.  She makes AWESOME foods, of all kinds, some of which have been featured on my Fantastic Foods Friday and others I’ve personally re-created in my own […]

060212 ROASTED CHICKPEAS 5

Meatless Monday…Roasted Chickpeas

A while back these were raging across Pinterest. Let me begin by stating I could probably live the rest of my life without ever eating another sweet.  While I do enjoy them on occasion, they are not what I crave when I actually crave something.  My downfall has always been salty/crunchy.  And nothing, I mean […]

060212 POBLANO STUFFED BURGER 7

Chile-Cheese Stuffed Burgers

Jan from An Inspired Cook did it again! Another knock-out recipe from one of my all-time favorite bloggers! We were literally drooling while these burgers were grilling.  And the drool fest continued after we took our first bites. Soft grilled bun, creamy avocado, juicy tomato, cool crisp lettuce, caramelized beef on the outside and a […]

053012 BLT 2

Fancy-Schmancy Grand Slam Bacon with Lettuce and Tomato Sandwiches

I know I’m going Flexitarian for a few weeks but I made these a couple weeks ago before Mr. Foodie left town.  Stephanie over at Modern Christian Woman is the one who got me jump started on this one. Did you know bacon could be better than bacon? Did you even know such a thing […]

061312 ONION MUSHROOM TOAST 2

Meatless Monday…Caramelized Onions, Mushroom and Swiss Tartine

WOWZA time flies! Mr. Foodie left last Tuesday and I’ve decided to go Flexitarian for the six weeks while he’s away.  Flexitarians are *almost* vegetarians.  They eat meat and dairy once in a while but mostly try to rely on plant-based foods.  I thought it would be a great opportunity to increase our meatless meal […]

052712 BEAN AND CORNBREAD SALAD 2

Mexican Panzanella (Leftover Cornbread and Black Bean Salad)

Bible Belt meets The Border with this crazy concoction! And I really have no idea what to call this thing.  Other than Good. Or so I think since I really didn’t get to eat much of it. What I do know is I started throwing things together, took a few bites as a taste test, […]

052712 TARTAR TUNA SALAD 1

Tuna Macaroni Salad with Tartar Sauce Dressing

There’s a few things Mr. Foodie and I gravitate towards for lunches on the weekends when it’s warm outside.  BLT’s, cold Tuna Sandwiches on toasted bread and cool Bean Salads.  With the cost of bacon being so ridiculously high these days the BLT’s are few and far between and as it turns out we were […]

051512 QUINOA VEGGIE BAKE 6

Meatless Monday AND a Recipe Remake – Quinoa Veggie Bake

Mr. Foodie was working from the house a week or so ago and I needed something for lunch that would feed the both of us.  As I started pulling things out of the fridge I realized I had the makings for what sounded like a pretty awesome casserole type dish.  Yeah, pretty awesome it was […]

050512 DILLED WHITE BEAN SALAD 2

Dilled White Bean and Tomato Salad

When I made our Crunchy Panko Crusted Cod a couple weeks ago I went searching for a side dish that would help me use up some of the fresh dill I had leftover.  I found this Dilled White Bean and Tomato Salad recipe.  It was perfect because I love experimenting with bean salads for two […]

050512 RICE CAKE 6

Recipe Remake – (Leftover) Rice Cakes

This is a riff on Wild Rice Cakes with Bacon from The Best of Cooking Light, 2004.  I searched and found an online version here. I made the original version years ago and loved them so I would highly recommend them but I also use the same technique for any kind of leftover “flavored” rice.  […]

060112 SHOP 1 142.94

Fridge, Freezers, Food Friday

I didn’t shop last Friday so I had nothing to post. We just found out that Mr. Foodie will be heading out west again in a little over a week for another six weeks.  ~~sigh~~  That sent off a little internal panic button.  Today is the first day of Hurricane Season and we’ve already had […]

051212 PIZZA THINS 2

Friday Night Pizza Thins

Here’s a tasty little thing I pulled together a couple weeks ago for a quick Friday Night Pizza Fix without actually making a pizza or ordering take-out. No recipe, just a little something for inspiration. I had some Arnold Sandwich Thins in the cupboard that needed to be used so I pulled those out and […]
