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 […]
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 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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
This is something I pulled together a few weeks ago for a Meatless Thursday meal when I was trying to use up a bunch of odds and ends from the fridge. My focus was on some leftover spinach and an open package of cream cheese. This is a hodge-podge based on Kraft’s recipe of Spaghetti […]
As soon as I saw this recipe I KNEW it was going on our menu ASAP as one of our Meatless Monday meals. Susan from Our Kitchen Inventions shared it at my Linky Party and it was love at first site. Then I fell in love all over again once I tasted it. If you […]
Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? Can you hear me? Yeah, you in the back. You can hear me? Good because this is important and you don’t want to miss it. First, I’m sorry to say I may not ever feature another Fish Taco recipe on my blog. Second, if you like Southwest, Tex-Mex flavor […]
You heard that right. Black-Eyed Peas. And we loved them! Monday and Thursday have morphed in to our Meatless Meal nights (Saturday is Fish) and this week I’m not working off a strict menu plan rather using up a bunch of odds and ends from the pantry, freezer and fridge. I really wanted to tackle […]
“O” is for Orange. And that’s what this entire meal was based on because we are swimming in oranges right now. Years ago we used to have several local citrus farmers and purchasing citrus from a grocery store was practically unheard of. We went straight to the grove and got what was picked fresh that […]
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 […]
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 […]
