Boy do I have egg on my face. This was supposed to go up by the 15th and I totally mis-scheduled it. Oops. Sorry Foodbuzz! In any event, via the Foodbuzz Tastemakers program, I got chosen to receive a $25 gift card to put on a cheese tasting with Sargento cheese. How awesome is that? […]
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 […]
I’ve been seeing quinoa pop up with increasing frequency in recipes around the blogosphere in the last year or two. It was one of those “other grains” that was supposed to be good for vegans and the gluten intolerant. Well actually, just like cashews are not really nuts, quinoa is not really grain. Both are […]
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 […]
I have been a lousy excuse for a food blogger. September has been a month of crazy. My mom’s house was broken into (she wasn’t home and she’s fine, they just got some electronics). I was house/dog sitting for my in laws for a week. And we went to Omaha for Oktoberfest. All in all […]
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 […]
So the very last thing in my latest Tastemaker’s box was Emeril’s Horseradish Mustard. It took me a while to come up with something to do with it because neither hubby nor I are big fans of horseradish. Ultimately I decided that I’d do with it what I often do with dijon mustard–mix it up […]
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 […]
