Got Summer Squash? Are you on the never-ending battle of looking for new ways to use them? Me, too. Give these little guys a try before summer ends. Mr. Foodie grew up eating something similar and, in full disclosure, he enjoyed these much more than I did. There is absolutely nothing wrong with them. I […]
This is another one I pull out at least once a year, sometimes more. They are light yet abundantly flavorful and super easy to whip up on a warm summer day. These are truly one of our favorites. Slightly adapted from Chicken Gyro’s for Two 1/4 cup lemon juice 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 teaspoon […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
