Pickled Garlic..... seriously!!!  Have you tried this? I am addicted. The flavor isn't that much different, but it adds a nice kick in my dishes. Why does it seem like life always gets in the way of me blogging? It doesn't get in the way of me cooking though. Lately I have tried so many new recipes. Some a total sucess... a lot of them were flops.  I have set a few

So I was walking to my first day at my new job yesterday and I just happened to look up and seen this! The most perfect rainbow ever! Not only was it beautiful, but it was a double rainbow!

My kids love anything that's piled on top of spaghetti, but they usually don't care for chili. last week we were having some cooler days which made me have a craving for it. Usually I just put a quarter pound of cooked spaghetti in my chili while it's cooking. This time I thought I would trick the kids into liking it by using the chili as a topping for the spaghetti. Needless to say, they

So once again I have been a bad blogger.... But now I've gotten high tech! I went out and got a smartphone. Yes, I know, I know.... What took so long... It just never seemed to be a major priority for me. Anyhow, I decided to download a way to do some mobile blogging in hopes that I will post more regularly. Yesterday was halloween and needless to say, trick-or-treating wore me out! But on an up

My little bug turns 5 on Monday. I can't believe it. It seems like she's not supposed to be this big. We had her party today and it was a total success! Well, unless you factor in the fact that my plan of having everything done the night before did NOT happen... AT ALL! I got all the cakes done literally 10 minutes before people started showing up! She decided that for this party she wanted

Have you ever lost your Mojo??? I have... My cooking mojo went out the window the moment I got pregnant, it seemed. Then I had the baby and it came back, only to be pushed aside to make time for the new baby. As you can see, I hadn't even posted an announcement saying that I had given birth! Needless to say, I fail!   So let's do a quick catch up, shall we... On January 5th I gave birth

Has it really been three whole months? I guess the dates don't lie! As I said three months ago, I had lost my will to cook. Even being in culinary school didn't help. I ended up having to drop my two culinary classes though, because I had no way back and forth to campus (the rest of them are online.) I'm going to re-enroll in them for the spring semester. I did, however, get a great

Inspiration...     I need to find some! I feel like I have lost the will to cook. It is utterly depressing! I'm not sure what's happened lately. You would think that I would be so excited to be in the kitchen, considering I now have a fabulous kitchen to be in. I just can't seem to muster up the energy. I would like to blame it all on this pregnancy, but I'm not completely sure if

I'm so sorry I haven't posted lately. Life has been crazy! Between pregnancy and trying to get moved... I think I'm going to go crazy. I'm in love with my new kitchen! I'll post pictures of it in my next post!  My only complaint is that I still don't have a stove! Needless to say, it's put a strain on what I can cook.  Tonight I used my electric skillet and made some fabulous fried pork

If your kids are like mine, then asking them what they want for dinner seems like an impossible task. The number one thing my children ask for is CHICKEN NUGGETS... yuck! When I first met my fiance his daughter was completely addicted to McDonald's Chicken Nuggets. Over the past couple of years her desire for them has wavered. Thank goodness!!! I am not a "fast food" kinda person, which I believe

This year I've lucked out and managed to not have a single plan for Memorial Day, so I believe I'll spend the day in the kitchen. It's been a while since I've had an actual "cooking day".  On the list for tomorrow...  no bake chocolate oatmeal cookies A big pot of pinto beans. Half will be put up in the freezer and the other half I'll use for...  Refried beans. I'm going to make up

As I have mentioned in the sparse posts before, I'm pregnant. With that being said, my morning all-day sickness has given me a total aversion to food. For a cook, this is not a good thing. So when I actually have a craving, I take full advantage. For the past couple of weeks I have been really wanting some teriyaki chicken, but the problem with this is that I have to have the white

I have been slacking. This pregnancy is kicking my butt. I have been so sick, and so sleepy ALL THE TIME! I had a minute that I felt normal, so I thought I would participate in this weeks Ultimate Recipe Swap. This weeks topic.... Vegetables! This is something I've been looking more into lately, as my fiance recently became a vegetarian! This is my favorite corn recipe. It's so easy,

Tonight I made these deliciously smelling, mouth watering, chicken tacos. I piled them high with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream... the works. I finally sat down to enjoy my hard work, took one bite, and ran to the bathroom! Apparently, due to my pregnancy, chicken is out, but I thought I would post the recipe. They apparently tasted fabulous to everyone but me!  Chicken Tacos 1.5 lbs

I am not a big fan of beans... which happen to be this week's topic. I have slowly started trying different recipes that include beans. So far I haven't tried one I haven't liked! Last fall we hosted a baby shower for a friend of ours who happened to be vegetarian. She also happened to be craving beans at the time. Here is a recipe that was a total hit!  Bean Salad 1 can black beans,

I have searched for the perfect pizza casserole for years. It seemed like every one I tried didn't taste anything like actual pizza. Tonight I had planned on letting the boyfriend cook... which meant we were having spaghetti, but then his kiddo mentioned that she had eaten spaghetti the night before at her mother's house. So that was out! I went on the hunt for something quick and easy

It's been a while since I posted anything from other blogs. Today, I was going through my google reader and came across a lot of things I wanted to share.  As most of you have probably noticed, I am now obsessed with balsamic vinegar! Today I found this yummy recipe for Balsamic Roasted Pork Tenderloin  at Two Girls One Appetite, that I am just dying to try. Also, while you're

I was on a mission today. I was seriously craving Zaxby's chicken, but it can be pretty expensive. So I went Googling. After going through 10 pages of links, I realized that I was never going to find what I was looking for. I did, however, find a recipe for the chicken strips they served. I eventually gave up and googled a couple of other things. I finally found the recipe for Buffalo Wild Wing's

The Food and Drug Administration is planning an unprecedented effort to gradually reduce the salt consumed each day by Americans, saying that less sodium in everything from soup to nuts would prevent thousands of deaths from hypertension and heart disease. The initiative, to be launched this year, would eventually lead to the first legal limits on the amount of salt allowed in food products.

These past few weeks have been crazy. I've felt like everything had been flipped on it's ear! Then this past Wednesday we found out why....              It came as a total shock to us. We weren't trying and definitely wasn't expecting it, but it happened! I believe the shock is finally wearing off, and I'm becoming more and more excited about it! I'm about 5

This is my kind of recipe swap! We are potato-aholics in my house! We literally eat potatoes with almost every meal. Usually I just mash them with a little sour cream a lot of butter, and a pinch of salt and pepper. I am, however, a huge fan of potato salad, IF the potatoes are properly cooked. I've found that the best way to achieve the perfect doneness is to steam them. Here is
