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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The other day I was looking for a way to use up some apples and oranges. I started surfing and came across this recipe on Table for 2….or More. It fit the profile of what I was looking for so I started getting busy. **A word of caution here…while I’m no expert with my knives […]
This is by far my favorite way to eat a bowl of mixed fruit. I’ve been making it so long I no longer measure anything so I had to go searching for where the recipe may have actually come from. One of the oldest sources I could find was from Epicurious via Bon Appetit dated 1998 so while there […]
A few weeks ago I commented on RealFoodRealDeals post about granola. I had been craving oats and took it as a sign I needed to get some in my belly. It took me another week or so before I finally got around to it but I tried a new recipe and we really liked it. […]
