This sandwich is spectacular. Life-changing almost. Yes, it appears to be nothing special, but this Veggie Melt is in a category all by itself. When I saw it in a cookbook I checked out from the library, I knew it was going to be…
Not too long ago I was approached by thinkThin® to see if I’d be interested in sampling a few of their bars and doing a giveaway. Perfect timing because I had read about them on a blog and a few weeks earlier and went…
Remember the Nilla Wafer dessert from last week and how I mentioned it came to be because of a dessert that didn’t? Well, this Banana Pudding Poke Cake is the dessert that I was writing about. For the holiday weekend (Happy Memorial Day!), I…
Here’s a recipe that happened because another one didn’t. I’m starting to get pretty good at not letting food go to waste when my plans don’t work out. Which is a good thing, since wasting food is a huge pet peeve of mine. I…
A few weeks ago I bought a ton of produce. I was convinced this new diet was going to have me eating super healthy and shedding pounds right and left. Um, yeah, that lasted for not even a full day. On closer inspection, the…
Oh how this pasta dish rocks my world. I first made Chicken Carbonara a few years ago, but it was for a special event (holiday or birthday…I can’t remember!). I didn’t have time to snap pictures, so it never made it on the blog.…
This Magic Cake has been going around Pinterest lately and I was completely intrigued by how it magically forms three layers. I saved it for another day, until I came across a chocolate version. Whoa! Since Mother’s Day was coming up, and my mom…
Pestos are great. Yes, there’s the traditional one with basil and pine nuts, but you really can get quite creative. I’ve made a mint pesto and even a broccoli pesto. The possibilities are endless really. In all of those varieties, I’ve used olive oil.…
Here’s a cake that is off the charts. Seriously, it will never get better than this. I first spied a Whoopie Pie Cake on the Cookies and Cups blog. I think my mouth hung open for a good 5 minutes while I lovingly stared…
I’m not sure I’ve ever discussed on this blog that I don’t like melon, and I mean anything melon. No watermelon, no canteloupe, and especially no honeydew. Even that Midori stuff gives me the heebie jeebies. I have no explanation for it and what…
You may look at this post and think it’s too simple and boring, but I’ve been roasting potatoes (and practically any veggie for that matter) for a long time and just never thought to put them on the blog. I seriously make them all…
Imagine coming home after a long day at work and finding a package on your doorstep that you weren’t expecting for a few weeks. And it’s Friday! That was me a week ago today. A fairly decent-sized box waiting patiently for me to get…
