I really don't have time to cook this week. With a conference I have to travel to coming up and working on the house, it's just too busy. So I opted for a recipe that could be put together in a flash. Fried rice is one of those dishes that is easy to make and [...]
I love tamales. However, there is a reason that they are made during the holidays. They take a bit of time to make. That's why when I go out to a Mexican restaurant, I order them most of the time. Because I love them so much, I am always looking for an easier way to [...]
Boy, laying floor was killer. Managed to smash my pinky with a hammer. Luckily, it's not broken. It looks pretty nasty, though. I haven't finished the flooring yet, so I will be working another couple of days. In the meantime, I have to make dinner. I chose something simple this week with my favorite ingredient, [...]
This week has been off the charts busy. I don't have a lot of time to cook. I'm back working on my house. This week it's fixing floors. Last week's dish was wonderful, but it took a while to make. Look no further than Eating Well for a recipe for Trinidadian Pelau with Chicken to [...]
Can you believe it? I still have beets to use up. Going through this journey of beet recipes, I am very surprised at what a beet can be used in. This recipe I am modifying is a Sri Lanken Beetroot Curry from the Flavor Blender. Who would have thought of using a beet in a [...]
Tony is going to stay on the soup thing for a while. I have some more beets to use up. He tried to go back on the beet juice kick when he wasn't able to eat anything solid. It wasn't pretty. So, this recipe is more about being creative with the ingredients I have on [...]
I was going to do another recipe this week, but I realized I did something I do quite often. I adapted my own recipe. The original recipe was for Turkey, Split Pea and Broccoli Soup. Tony had a wisdom tooth taken out last week and wanted something that was soft and flavorful to eat. He [...]
This week I am really busy. I took the week off to help Tony with our house. This leave little time to cook. With being the case I thought I would share with you one of my cold lunch staples this year. I have been making the Shawarma Spiced Salad that I shared before. I [...]
I am not from the Southern US. You can probably tell by the recipes I post. Even those in the north do enjoy southern fare. Buttermilk fried chicken, hot chicken, gumbo, jambalaya, and many others. However, there is a beloved dish that I was not aware of until recently, and that's bog. The dish consists [...]
Life has continued to be busy around here. Paint is going up on the walls of the new house as well as the showers almost being finished. I'm also tackling an oil change with a very difficult to remove oil plug. I am a girl who works on her own cars. Granted, don't ask me [...]
