Sauerkraut for Luck
Growing up, we would always eat "pork" and sauerkraut for New Years Day. It was supposed to be for luck, sort of like how Southerners eat black eyed peas on New Years Day. I wasn't home this year on New Years Day and ended up eating a cheeseburge...
Christmas Dinner...about a week late.
I'm such a slacker. Finally, I am getting around to posting about my Christmas dinner. A few side notes...my dad, sister, and brother-in-law are all vegetarians, so we do not have "traditional" holiday meals in my family. Oh, we will have turke...
Healthy Comfort Food
This time of year I always eat a lot. I know I am not alone. I don't work out as religiously and I eat a lot of cookies and sweets. When I came across this recipe for a "healthy" meatloaf, I knew it was perfect for me to try. This meatloaf is sup...
I Heart Cheese
So I know this isn't the most appealing picture of an enchilada. Not much to look at. But what it lacks in prettiness, it makes up for in taste. I love cheese, especially cream cheese. Mixing that with Mexican food? Yes please! It has jus...
TWD: Thanksgiving Twofer Pie and Thanksgiving Wrap-Up
Has everyone recovered from their Thanksgiving food coma's? I am not quite sure I have. I did wake up this morning hungry, but one SMALL bowl of cereal later, I am full again. I ate so much food last night! My lovely friend Kim invited me and...
Acorn Squash
There has been many posts lately about acorn squash and that makes me SO happy! I love acorn squash (almost as much as spaghetti squash!). The way I prepare it is very similar to many others...Split the squash in half and scoop out the seeds. P...
The Dining Room at Biltmore
Over Veteran's Day weekend I did something I have wanted to do for quite some time. I visited the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. I have an entire post about the history and the pictures from the rest of the estate. However, I had...
BB: Herb Roasted Onions
Yum. Just yum.Kelly from Baking With The Boys chose this Barefoot Bloggers recipe...Herb Roasted Onions. It seemed almost too simple. I wasn't even sure if I would like it. I mean, it is JUST onions. So, instead of three onions, I just used...
Halloween revisited
I had a great Halloween this year. Since I moved into my house, I have always made a "special" dinner for Halloween. Then I would spend the night handing out candy to the kids. I live in a pretty nice neighborhood for trick-or-treaters, so I us...
The Daring Bakers want me to do what?
Molly is not a stranger to this blog. She has been shown a few times. She is on today for a very important reason. This month's Daring Bakers challenge was chosen by Rosa. She chose pizza! One of the things I was nervous about was the fact ...
Chicken in the microwave? Oh heck yeah!
I have owned this lovely baker for almost two years. I got it after I hosted a Pampered Chef party. I got A LOT of free stuff and that is why I got this...it retails at $65, so I thought it would be a good thing to snag for free. One thing that...
BB: Butternut Squash Risotto
Isn't my Molly pretty? I wanted to add a picture of my baby to this post to make up for the fact that the picture of my risotto is super duper boring! I have a good reason though. I was so excited to eat this risotto that I rushed through takin...
Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas...courtesy of a guest blogger!
This is my lovely friend Christine. Maybe you remember the wedding I went to at the beginning of September? Or maybe the wine tour I spoke about here? Christine and I became friends many moons ago while stationed at MCRD Parris Island, SC. Besid...
Simple Supper
This week is super crazy. I am on the rifle range. That means, for you non-military types, that I am firing my weapon all week on a range. It is an annual training event and it makes for a long day. In order to get everyone through the course...
Good dinner, bad picture
So, this picture is not good. It looks, well, let's not go into what it looks like. But can I say it was good? Because it totally was! I was looking for a dinner that used up things I already had in the kitchen. And from that mission, this ...
BB: Butterflied Chicken
I know...this picture really doesn't do too much. Yes, this doesn't really look to much like a butterflied chicken. More like chicken breasts, huh? Well, I am afraid of butterflying a chicken and there isn't a place where I can get one close by...
Lean Mean BBQ Sauce
I could have sworn that I already posted about this, but lo and behold, I didn't. I was lucky enough to receive some of this Lean Mean BBQ Sauce from Chef Bradley courtesy of Blake Makes. I LOVE free stuff and was excited to see what this BBQ sa...
Pantry Raid Dinner
Tonight I decided I would make risotto for dinner. As the risotto was cooking, I started scavenging in the fridge and freezer and pantry for something to add to the finished risotto. I originally have thought about adding veggies, but I couldn't ...
Homemade Pizza
I made these pizzas (with the help of my wonderful friend Beth) a WHILE ago. Not sure why i has taken me so long to post...they were delicious. When I was living in Okinawa, Japan, My friend Beth and her family would make homemade pizza about once a...
A Weekend at Jekyll Island
This is Bubba Gus, my nephew dog. Isn't he handsome? He had a fantastic time with us at Jekyll Island this weekend. He asked if I would share some pictures from the weekend and who could say no to that face? Jekyll Island is located in southeaste...
Baked Tofu as Fries?
I had a package of extra firm tofu in the fridge that I wanted to use up and had no idea how to accomplish that. It frustrates me that the majority of recipes involving tofu are Asian based. I understand why that is, but I wasn't in the mood for any...
Flavor Explosion Pasta
Are you looking for a quick meal that has a unique flavor? I think I have just the thing for you. I saw this recipe a while ago on Everyday Italian on the Food Network. I didn't really write anything down, just kept the mix of ingredients in my he...
BB: Parmesan Chicken
The Barefoot Bloggers are back with our third installment! This recipe is chosen by Megan of My Baking Adventures. What a great choice it was! Ina really hit the ball out of the park with this one. After I ate it for dinner last night, I was trying ...
The search is over!
Yesterday was a great day! It started with a full day of kayaking, followed by a dip in the ocean and then a great meal with friends. After a full day in the outdoors, I was looking for a light and summery meal and fish tacos were just the ticket....
Sunday Night Supper
I printed off these recipes a while ago from Deborah's wonderful blog, Taste and Tell. When I saw this combination of food, I knew it was something I had to try, but I wanted to wait until it was grill season. This was the kind of meal that needed...
Spaghetti Squash: A Tutorial
Meet the spaghetti squash. I love this guy and thought I would share an easy way to cook him. There are so many people I know that have never tried it, so I figured I would share, step by step, the easiest way I know how to prepare it. First you ...
