Seriously good recipes with a bit of fun served on the side!
I recently bought a fitness tracker. After reading reviews until I was practically blind, I decided on the UP 24 by Jawbone . This thing is amazing! It tracks steps, calories and even your sleep! I haven't slept since 1982 so I suppose that feature is lost on me...but the other stuff is pretty cool! It's wireless and syncs up to my phone, it vibrates when I haven't moved for 30 minutes, now if it would just get me a Latte! Give it a year huh? I was surprised to … [continue]
Another recipe using pre-browned Panko Crumbs. First there was Panko Crusted Salmon, followed by Crispy Oven Baked Fish and Chips and now…well now we have Double Crunch Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries! The crème de la crème of oven baked fries…the top dog, big cheese, who wears the big hat daddy, most awesome oven baked fries you have ever […]

Fresh and Light Peach Ice Cream – is there anything better than homemade ice cream on a hot summer day? This recipe is from an old Cooking Light magazine I had hanging around. It uses whole milk and half and half instead of heavy cream. No precooking makes it a breeze! There is a […]

If you are looking for something new to add to your bread box – these little beauties are perfect! I cut the chives fresh from my own little herb garden. Makes me feel like a farmer when I cut my own herbs. Yup, just me chewing on a piece of straw with a red bandana tied around my neck, […]

Here is my second installment on the beauty of pre-browned Panko crumbs! I posted Panko Crusted Salmon a couple weeks ago and I am still in awe over what I can do with these things! When I say these taste just like your favorite restaurant Fish and Chips, I am not kidding. ‘These taste like your favorite restaurant […]

I am totally obsessed with Panko Crumbs lately. This is the first of three recipes that I’ll be sharing over the next few weeks that include Panko. I’ve been using them for years but I stumbled upon a new trick that has me falling in love all over again. Drum roll please! Pre-toast the crumbs! It […]

So I can’t spell ‘Mediterranean’ (I had to copy and paste from the web). It doesn’t matter how many times I try, I can’t do it. In fact, now that I think about it, there are a lot of words I can’t spell…like ‘definatly’ – see! I can’t do it! Sometimes I just give up […]

Oh pretty little glass of boozy deliciousness! Meet Orangecello…. her BFF is Lemoncello and I love them both equally! I suppose you could ‘cello’ about any fruit? (see how cool I am…I just call it ‘cello now..thats how close we are – me and my ‘cello…mmmmm). Limecello would be divine! Basically, if you can skin […]

If I could go back in time, I would have watched my diet a little more. Less cheese, less wine, less cheese, less wine, less cheese, less wine…are you getting the picture here? As we get older (and plumper) it becomes apparent that a few changes need to be made. So, slowly I’ve […]

My obsession with quick meals continues. I was convinced that the Italian Chicken Bake I shared was the easiest recipe ever, but this is actually a little easier (no chopping of the garlic) and just as tasty! All you do is toss together corn, black beans, salsa and a few spices…top with chicken and bake! I used canned […]

This is the perfect recipe for those fixer-upper apples you have hanging around but just can’t throw away! I always seem to have so many apples. It’s apparent when you cruise my recipe index that I love apple desserts! There is: Apple Cake , French Apple Tart and Caramel Apple Cake ,just to mention a few. I’ve got my […]
