Berry Patriotic Parfaits

admin May 22, 2013 1 Comment
I like to have something “fun” to eat for days like Memorial Day, July 4 etc.  Something red, white and blue to help commemorate the day.  But I also do not always have time to make something complicated.  But these little parfaits are just the quickest, easiest and cutest thing to make!   I used little plastic shot glasses for these parfaits.  Making them “mini” is great for a...

admin May 15, 2013 2 Comments
Have you ever cut an avocado open and it’s just mush?  Or how about cut one open and it’s so hard you cannot scoop it out?  Do you struggle with knowing when an avocado is “just right” to eat?   I did until I found a great tip about avocado readiness.  I like to give credit where credit is due, but I have been using this tip for so long now, I am not sure where I read it or found...

Grilled Asparagus

Despite the cold and gloomy weather I have started grilling season.  And one thing I love to grill is asparagus!   Asparagus used to be one of my least favorite vegetables, but it has now become one of my top 3 vegetables.  I think it is because of the grill.  There is just something about grilled vegetables.  It brings out an irresistible flavor.   If you do not care for asparagus, give...

admin April 14, 2013 2 Comments
Herbed Chicken With Asparagus, Red Onion, and Millet Served With a White Wine Sauce.  Sounds delectable, right?  And reads like a menu item of a nice restaurant.  In fact, you make this and you will enjoy a meal just as good as or better than a restaurant one.  And you will not spend near the amount of money you would at a restaurant.  Or better yet.  Consider preparing this for company! ...

My Favorite Chunky Guacamole And Soon To Be Yours

admin April 11, 2013 5 Comments
Creamy.  Satisfying.  Savory.  Guacamole! Guacamole fulfills that need for something creamy.  And it is nutritious.  Avocados have beneficial monounsaturated fat, high amounts of vitamin K and E, contain folate, potassium, lutein and magnesium, not to mention vitamin C and B6.  I have been making this recipe for several years now.  I prefer my guac chunky so I hand mash and have good...

Sweet and Savory Beef Bean Medley

admin April 3, 2013 1 Comment
This beef and bean dish may not look like much, but it is really good.  Sweet and savory combined, I rank this with comfort food.    Other great things about this meal:  it’s a slow cooker meal and it makes a lot.  I almost always freeze about half.  Then some night when I do not feel like cooking I can simply defrost, warm and enjoy. So, if you are looking for lots of protein, this dish...

Since my Apple Pie Porridge recipe was a hit, I thought I would make another oatmeal recipe based off of a “baked good.”  So today I bring you Cranberry Orange Muffin Oatmeal.    Okay, it does not taste like a muffin too much, but it makes for a better title than anything else I could think up.  This is easy and tasty too.  If you do not have a lot of time in the morning, you can cook up...

Cherry Vanilla Granola

I have been at it again; another granola recipe that is. Granola is so easy to make.   It is great for breakfast alone or on top of cereal.  It is a great evening snack.  While I love this recipe and this one, I wanted a new one too.  This one, full of cherry flavor and a hint of vanilla, is so delicious I wrote the recipe to make a large batch. I saw a recipe once that used wheat germ. ...
