Whip it good!

Potatoes are one of my favorite side items to have; I love them mashed, baked and practically in other way they come.  There are a multitude of things that can be done with potatoes and there are tons of different ways they can seasoned.  Potatoes are one of those great things that are basically a blank [...]

Under the sea

So the title to this entry is making me sing the song “Under ‘da’ Sea” from The Little Mermaid!  Remember Sebastian the crab dancing and singing this?  That really took me back to my childhood for a mintue!  You know you’re singing the song now. 
So now on to the good stuff.  Scallops are one [...]

It’s a cheesy world

To continue with the cheesy theme that started with my Cheez-It Chicken, I decided to make some cheesy baked squash.  As I previously stated in my cheesy chicken post, I love cheese, so that also means there can never be too much cheese…kind of like you can never have too much chocolate:).  Squash is one [...]

It’s so easy being cheesy

Cheese is one of my favorite foods.  I use cheese in all kinds of dishes; from comfort foods to savory foods.  There is such a variety of cheeses; I love trying new kinds but sometimes good old cheddar is just what I need.  Cheese and cheese flavors also come in so many forms from the [...]

It’s a sweet and tart sandwich

We kept super very low key last night since I have a ton of cooking to do this evening and tomorrow for Turkey Day.  I still wanted to cook but I didn’t want anything that was going to be too involved and take a ton of time.  I had already pulled some chicken out of [...]

Toned down tartness

Last night we had Rachael Ray’sHoney Lime Chicken, which was awesome!  I made sandwiches using the chicken so I wanted a different type of sauce/spread to use for the sandwiches.  I wanted something that complimented the marinade but didn’t over power or have too much going on.  The honey lime mayo I came up with was awesome.  
I used it as a spread on [...]

Three Types of beans can only mean…

 
It’s chili time!!!  Sunday was a day of many “to do’s”; I had stuff to do around the house plus I was baking cookies for round 4 of Operation Baking Gals.  I wanted to make something good for supper but I didn’t really have to time prepare a meal that needed a lot of attention through the cooking process [...]

A Taste of the Past

 
There are many things that make me think of times when I was growing up; specific foods and recipes as well as many other things.  Oatmeal Raisin cookies are one of the many things that are classics that bring back memories of when I was younger.  They are awesome cookies and they are very much [...]
