Roasted Colored Peppers

admin April 6, 2014 2 Comments
Ever try roasting colored peppers?  If not, they are yummy!  Sweet actually!    Not to mention that this is easy, peasy to prepare.  Simply slice open, take out seeds and slice into a few strips, toss with oil (and spices if you want, but not necessary) and roast in a hot oven.  I guarantee that you won’t have any left over.  Roasting peppers somehow brings out a succulent, sweet flavor...

Lucy’s Cookies-Product Review

admin March 27, 2014 0 Comments
Lucy’s is a cookie company that reached out to me and offered to send me some cookies to review.  Who can say “no” to that?  So while I received cookies, I did not receive compensation and opinions are my own.   For starters, I like to term Lucy’s cookies as allergy friendly rather than allergy free.  They are gluten free, peanut free, tree nut free, milk free and egg free.  However,...

What do you do when you buy 5 pounds of red potatoes, only to come home from the grocery store to see that you already have 5 pounds of red potatoes?  Why, make potato salad, that’s what!   Potato salad is often considered a summer dish.  Well, even though it is barely spring, I’m eating it; and enjoying it!  And you can too.  Who says one can only eat potato salad in the summer? This...

Does McDonald’s even have the Shamrock Shake anymore?  I don’t know.  I haven’t seen a commercial for it.  But I do know that you can make your own dairy free version!   Even though I don’t celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, I know people love (or used to love) the St. Patty’s Day Shamrock Shake.  So for fun, I set out to create a dairy free version of what I think it should taste...

The “can” of cream of mushroom soup post continues to one of my most popular.  And while it doesn’t get the same kind of attention, there is also a “can” of cream of chicken soup post.  One can also make a “can” of cream of celery soup.  This is for using in casseroles or slow cooker recipes.  It is not meant to be eaten as is.   All the steps are the same as the cream of...

I love kale chips.  Have you tried them yet?  Go here to see how I make them.  But cooking kale for a meal is a different story.  It’s not my first choice of vegetable and I am guessing it isn’t yours either.  But it should be!  ;-) It is not hard to cook kale and it tastes pretty good.  Caramelized onions add some yummy flavor too.    You need to use one whole head of kale.  I...
