I am a big fan of Taste of Home for recipes. They’re usually easy, seldom involve “weird” ingredients, and will generally be eaten by my entire family. This one came to me in a recent email and me, being me I had to adapt it a little by adding in some extra veggies and swapping […]
I do not have a new recipe for you today, I am sorry to say. And my weekend is going to be consumed with early prep for Thanksgiving. Wait, Kait it’s Saturday. What are you doing FIVE WHOLE DAYS before Thanksgiving? Well, I shall tell you. I have two main purposes today: Make chicken stock. […]
I have no idea what gave me the idea to put shrimp in tacos. Maybe because I keep seeing fish tacos and my brain made the leap? Who knows. What I do know is that this experiment was FANTASTIC and is a dieter’s friend. Hubs said it tasted just as good as beef tacos and […]
I don’t know about you, but I was never a natural salad eater. My dad would eat it, drowned in ranch (thus eliminating the healthy part), and mom wouldn’t touch it. So I was 12 or 13 before I was ever really exposed to salad eating families. And what got me through was not dressing, […]
Look at that! I’m finally back posting on my own revolution. :blushes: Sorry I’ve been busy. Moving on! I confess, I have never been a huge fan of red beans and rice. This probably stems from my hatred of kidney beans in my chili, which was then generalized to kidney beans in everything. And the […]
I swear, I’m about to give up on tuna casserole as a dish to be served in our house. No matter what variation I make, hubby just doesn’t like it. No matter, this current incarnation made ME happy. It is an adaptation of this Light But Hearty Tuna Casserole from Taste of Home. I’d actually […]
This one was an adaptation of a recipe from the August/September 2010 Taste of Home (pg. 43). I loved the concept of this recipe, but I needed to make a few adjustments in the name of healthy and grown up. Tater tots are a thing of the school cafeteria and do not come into my […]
Down in the south we have a deli chain that started in an old gas station in Oxford, MS. MacAlister’s. This place was a college staple of mine since it was only about a mile and a half from campus. In addition to the usual deli fare of sandwiches and salads, they have a line […]
After last week’s meh Mexican spoon bread, I opted to try a jazzed up version of my mother’s Mexican cornbread. Since we were taking it to a party, I thought muffins would be best (and it fits with my obsession for mini these days). Results were moist and flavorful, a nice side to a Mexican […]
The inspiration for this recipe hails from the April 2010 issue of Everyday With Rachael Ray (pg. 83). I offer this up as a homemade alternative to stuff like Totinos pizza roles. They’re fresh, light, easy as can be, and a WHOLE lot healthier. I made a few substitutions to the original recipe to lighten […]
