In honor of National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day, make something with peanut butter! I love peanut butter. I feel sorry for those people who are allergic. It’s just so good! I can eat a whole jar in one sitting. Why not go classic. Here’s some fabulous peanut butter chocolate chips cookies courtesy of Betty Crocker (I added the chocolate…
Dominica’s Totally Awesome, It’s Like Crack, Granola
I was out with my good friend this weekend shopping for her wedding dress. So much fun! It was your typical “Say Yes to The Dress” experience. She got to try on a ton of dresses (we went to four different shops), we (as in her entourage), got to watch and give opinions and I got to get ideas for…
Mustard Dill Salmon
Have I ever mentioned how I used to hate Salmon and how I also never even liked fish! I couldn’t image not having it now. When I had fish previously, I don’t think I was having the freshest fish as it smelled and tasted fishy. Now living in San Diego, I feel you can get the freshest, tastiest fish around. …
Bon Appetit!
If I haven’t mentioned it before, here it is, I love Bon Appetit Magazine. They have such great recipes and articles. Their cover pictures always make my mouth drool! Of course I sure that is the goal and to get you to buy their magazines. I lucked out and got the subscription on Amazon while they were running a special,…
Junk in the Trunk
Literally…..there is a ton of Junk in the Trunk, junk food that is. And no it’s not for me!! In fact, I wish it wasn’t there at all. About once a month I have to make a Costco run for my coworkers. Around 3-4:30pm they go savaging for something to snack on and when the cupboard is bare, watch…
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope it finds you with Love in your hearts and your arms 🙂 Baking is truly one of my favorite things to do on a Sunday afternoon – besides Sunday Funday (I’m a little too old for that now), anyway, since tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, of course I am baking goodies for my coworkers and…
Hearty Roasted Pumpkin & Cauliflower Stoup
You will slap yourself and say “damn I’m good!” – Okay, maybe not, but I did when I made this. It’s thick, it’s spicy, it’s hearty. You want a bowl full of comfort, make this. It’s easy and it’s healthy for you too. Roasted Pumpkin and Cauliflower Stoup: 1 3lb sugar pumpkin3/4 head of cauliflower – florets cut up…
Grilled Salmon Tacos
I love salmon! I am always looking of new ways to incorporate this great healthy fish into my diet. Salmon is full of the omega-3’s you hear about and I try to eat it regularly. I wanted to do something different then my normal preparation, which usually includes some sort of Asian type marinade and is either baked or broiled. …
Sweet & Nutty Quinoa Breakfast
I love breakfast! And I know you all have heard that it is the most important meal of the day and you should never skip it – I agree! I am not really a savory breakfast person, nor do I eat eggs (that’s another post). Since I don’t have a lot of time in the morning to make a full…
Wednesday Night Supper Club #2
I have organized a Supper Club with a small group of friends. With all of our busy lives these days with work, play, babies, dating, etc., we were not getting together as often as we used to. I decided to institute a Supper Club. It would accomplish two of my favorite things – fabulous food and good company. It’s important…
