the good news girl
I cannot even begin to explain how slow roasted tomatoes have transformed my life.
Maybe you think I am exaggerating about these gorgeous, tiny packages of sweetness.
But I speak the truth. Because these delightful bursts of brilliance are turning things around for me.
If you’ve never tasted baked eggs, you simply must. They are creamy and delicious every time.
Though there are loads of recipes with adaptations (add herbs, vegetables, cheese, etc.), they are scrumptious plain. Delicate, yet filling. [Read more...]
Leave it to Ronne to come up with something enticing, delicious, and creative in time for Valentine’s Day. It’s a grown up milkshake called: The Honey Bear. If this doesn’t tickle your sweet tooth, no tears. She’s got a gorgeous gallery of cupcake recipes that follow.
This drink that is so simple and so perfect, you just have to share with your sweetheart. The secret ingredient is Tennessee Honey. But before you run to the store to look for cute plastic bears near the peanut butter and jelly, let me explain: It’s Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey.
I don’t really care about the Super Bowl but I appreciate the capacity it has to keep my family in one place, namely home. Except last night, Sara got invited to a friend’s house. Someone was trying to pull her away from me.
So I did what I do. I made chicken pot pie. It is a most effective way to trap my family at home.
Isn’t it nice when a mishap turns into something really delicious? These were a mishap.
I intended on making the best peanut butter cookie recipe ever after seeing all kinds of lovely Valentine cookies on Pinterest. (I am defenseless when it comes to Valentine’s.) [Read more...]
Because Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.
Because I adore Valentine’s Day.
And because I love pizza … here is my recipe for mini margarita heart-shaped pizza!
This recipe is a family favorite. I first posted it here. It’s so easy and I love that you can adapt it for fun things like Valentine’s. :) [Read more...]
I have missed eating sandwiches since I fasted that squishy bread with sugar in it. And although I’m glad that I have a new healthy habit eating no sugar Ezekiel type breads because of The 21 Day Fast Diet … I really missed having a nice sandwich.
But no more because today I discovered a simple and delicious veggie sandwich with that thick, awesome avocado dressing recipe I shared last week. Matter of fact, I think the dressing is better on this sandwich than on the wedge salad.
Get yourself some veggies …
Is there any better way to spend a rainy afternoon than with dear friends? Can’t think of much better ~ especially when you add in a gorgeous, roasted vegetable frittata.
Yes … that’s steam rising off that delicious, cheesy dream. [Read more...]
What can’t an avocado do? Cute little thing.
From Pico de Gallo to Avocado Cucumber Chutney to a delightful dressing. Mmmm.
I found the recipe for this dressing when I was at Central Market last week. As usual, there were all kinds of testing stations at the store. The gal that whipped up this recipe was serving the dressing mixed in a cabbage slaw ~ to accompany a spicy pork tenderloin. It was delicious.
Avocado Vinaigrette
1 medium avocado * 1/4 c fresh lime juice * 1/4 c wine vinegar * 1 c roughly chopped cilantro * 1/2 t honey * salt & pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients in a food processor. (I used a blender. I also added a little vegetable oil to further emulsify because I picked out such a large avocado.)
My version turned out really thick (like ranch dressing) ~ I loved the consistency. And after tasting, I realized I could add jalapeno, garlic … lots of lovely would work with this dressing.
My friend, Roxann, introduced me to this lovely, warm stew. It’s special. From the tenderloin to the pumpkin spice to the fresh mint. It’s the perfect winter supper.
The recipe recommended serving the stew over couscous. And in truth, I haven’t been entirely smitten with couscous … until I found this whole wheat pearl couscous. It’s wonderful. [Read more...]
