I had intended to post my gluten free adaptation of my favorite poppyseed chicken recipe today, but it turned out…incredibly bland. So that one absolutely needs more work before I release it to the world. The original version takes a lot of its flavor from the canned cream of chicken soup. The gluten free alternative […]
I am full of so much food blogger fail the last two weeks. Y’all, I swear I’ve been cooking. I’ve even been cooking new stuff. But I’ve also been in the middle of launching my latest book (a YA paranormal called Red–more on that here, if you’re interested), and almost breaking my nose (more on […]
So my latest Tastemaker opportunity from Foodbuzz was for Lay’s Dip Creations. I’ve had these for quite a while, but like everything else, when we listed the house for sale, stuff got put out of sight and I can no longer find squat. So it took me a while to actually use them. There are […]
Nope, this isn’t a recipe. I know you’re due one. Life is a little nuts here and we’re leaving town to finish dismantling my grandmother’s house at the end of this week, after which things should return to normal. Or as normal as they ever are here. But today’s my birthday and I just got […]
So in pursuit of gluten free baking (while I wait for my assortment of weird flours to get here from Amazon), I picked up a box of Gluten Free Bisquick from Walmart (I also saw it in Kroger). This thing was about a third of the size of a regular box of Bisquick and twice […]
I hope everybody had a fantastic Thanksgiving! I’m surfacing from a nasty sinus infection and lots of family time. We’re in holiday decorating mode around here and that means snack time! As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemakers program, I got the fantastic opportunity to try out Hickory Farm’s Beef Hickory Sampler gift box. As you […]
One of my favorite parts of being a food blogger is getting the chance to try products that I can’t find in my regular grocery store. Through the Foodbuzz Tastemaker’s program, I recently had the opportunity to try two different varieties of Nature’s Pride Oven Classics line–the Oatmeal and Honey Wheat with Fiber. I can’t […]
I know, I know, I promised to have more recipes this month. They’re coming, I swear. My husband and I are currently sharing a camera, which prolongs the process of getting posts ready. I’ve got smoked cheddar burgers, blueberry white cheddar stuffed pork chops, and red beans and rice coming. But in the meantime I […]
As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker’s program I got an opportunity to try out Buitoni’s new Riserva pasta. I’ve actually had the coupon for a couple of months but kept forgetting to put it on the list and didn’t realize that it was in the freezer section instead of the fridge case with all the […]
One of the perks of being a Preferred Publisher with FoodBuzz is that I get the opportunity to participate in the Tastemakers program. It’s a chance to try out assorted products. My first package arrived last week, and it was all kinds of Emeril products. The box had (as you can see) his all natural […]
