Red Pepper Guacamole

June 10, 2010

This makes me want to move to Spain. Or Mexico.
Anywhere Spanish speaking would work! (I miss saying Hola and Buen Dia all the time.) Ever since playing “Twitter translator” (where I would send Twitter DMs with common Dominican phrases to my friends who were in the Dominican Republic), I’ve been itching to speak Spanish. [...]

Red Quinoa with Avocado, Black Beans and Corn

June 9, 2010

For a while now, I’ve been toying with the idea of putting myself on a Gluten Free diet. No real reason really. Just want to see if I feel any different when eliminating gluten.
And here is a recipe that will be on the menu when (if ever) I decide to make that leap.
Ingredients
1 cup red [...]

Teriyaki Chicken Kebabs

June 8, 2010

Twitter knows everything. It even knows what you’re having for dinner tonight. (Well, only if you ask.)
It really does. It’s never let me down.
A recent tweet of mine: “Looking for a dinner idea for tonight that involves chicken and a grill…anyone?”
And I liked Carrie’s idea best. Teriyaki Chicken Kebabs it is!
Would someone please tell me [...]

Repurposing: Brown Rice

June 2, 2010

Brown rice.
It’s my preferred rice.  We have white rice on occasion, usually when I’m running behind and forget to start the brown rice in time to cook (it takes at least 45 minutes to cook.)
But I have found that I only like brown rice “fresh.”  Therefore, I typically don’t make “extra”, unless I’m planning to [...]

Homemade Coconut Mango Popsicles

May 28, 2010

So Tyler had his first popsicle yesterday. Just in time for summer!!!
I hadn’t planned on letting him have a taste…it just sorta happened.  I sat down to nurse him with a popsicle of my own in hand and he had NO interest in what I had to offer him and kept eying my popsicle. And [...]

Grilled Balsamic Chicken

May 26, 2010

So it’s almost 90 today here in Ohio. I’m sure it’s some sort of heat record. And if it’s not it should be. It’s making me tired. And cranky. And the bazillion little cottonwood seeds drifting through the air, and some other pollen are wrecking havoc on my allergies.  (I just took a Benadryl, so if [...]

Grilled Salsa Chicken

May 11, 2010

Alrighty friends…here is the Grilled Salsa Chicken that I intended on posting last night.  But my day just didn’t play out as I thought it would and I did not get a chance in the early evening to get it all together!
A big thanks to Steve for photographing some of the pictures below. You might [...]

See that corn up there?!?  The “summer price” of $.25/ear is here a bit early this year!  I couldn’t help myself and snagged a few for this week.  The boys L-O-V-E corn and I love watching them munch it off the corn.  It’s sorta cute!
This *might* just become my new “go-to” meal.  It’s way low [...]

Balsamic Beef and Onion Pasta

April 20, 2010

Remember the Slow Cooker Beef Roast with Balsamic Onions?!?
Well, you should just bookmark it now and make it next time you have a beef roast on hand.  Or better yet, toss it with some pasta and might I say you won’t regret it!

I used up a BOGO beef roast from the freezer, a yellow onion [...]
