I planted Cherry Tomatoes, Roma Tomatoes, Heirloom Tomatoes, Chocolate Mint, Yellow Sweet Peppers, Cucumbers, Garlic Chives, Jalapeno Peppers. These were planted about June 11, then a couple weeks ago I really got the planting fever, so I got a bunch of celery from the grocery store and cut off about Kathleen Milazzohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08740462321945695226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30232226.post-18176529895890512632015-07-09T13:44:00.001-05:002015-07-19T11:49:13.742-05:00Your Clean Eating Pantry - A Week Of VeggiesKathleen Milazzohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08740462321945695226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30232226.post-39812243219389584942015-07-09T13:38:00.001-05:002015-07-09T13:38:41.386-05:00Your Ultimate Smoothie Making Guide - Clean & DeliciousKathleen Milazzohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08740462321945695226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30232226.post-20112730498691297622015-05-01T11:59:00.003-05:002015-05-05T02:08:08.362-05:00Secret Restaurant Recipes: Olive Garden's Con ZucchiniSecret Restaurant Recipes: Olive Garden's Con Zucchini: Ingredients: === SAUCE === 1/3 cup olive oil 1 cup chopped onion 1 pound fresh mushrooms -- divided 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic 3 cups cr...Kathleen Milazzohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08740462321945695226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30232226.post-52358845713657316922015-05-01T11:47:00.001-05:002015-05-01T11:47:45.843-05:00Secret Restaurant Recipes: Red Lobster's Sparkling Fruit RecipeSecret Restaurant Recipes: Red Lobster's Sparkling Fruit Recipe: Red Lobster's Sparkling Fruit Recipe Serving Size: 2 Ingredients: 2 fresh fruit 1/2 cup sugar 1 cup champagne or white wine 1/2 t...Kathleen Milazzohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08740462321945695226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30232226.post-64680327819161025032015-04-29T12:04:00.001-05:002015-04-29T12:04:05.845-05:00

I have discovered what many people already have. Juice from Bolthouse Farms. It's the closest thing to juicing yourself. They have many different flavors of vegetable juice, fruit juice, and combinations of both. I am very fond especially of the Daily Greens juice. It contains per 32 oz bottle, one cup of kale, spinach, and romaine, three and a half cups of cucumber, three quarters cup of Kathleen Milazzohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08740462321945695226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30232226.post-83785241849302719662013-02-10T13:01:00.002-06:002013-02-10T14:12:33.102-06:00Mushroom and Zucchini Marinated8 oz or 3 cups whole fresh mushrooms

The other day I was putting dinner together. I had the meat and potatoes but I also had a bag of carrots. I like carrots but I wanted to make them a little special. It just so happened that I had a bottle of lo-cal pancake syrup on the counter. I squirted some on the carrot coins and seasoned them with salt. AWESOME!

I like the little bit I've seen of it but I wonder how some of those people got on the show? There were at least two cooks who left a shell or something else that was sharp in the spoon and of course it found it's way into a Judges mouth. Let me know what you think.Kathleen Milazzohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08740462321945695226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30232226.post-5335634766130989132013-01-28T20:10:00.001-06:002013-01-28T20:10:42.412-06:00Tomatoes and Peaches I didn't know this, but I have read that you are never supposed to refrigerate tomatoes or peaches. Tomatoes that are kept in the fridge are not as flavorful as those you keep on your counter or table
Peaches tend to get mealy if they are kept in the fridge. So for best taste, texture, and quality keep your peaches and tomatoes out of the cold.Kathleen Milazzohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08740462321945695226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30232226.post-1214113982255648782013-01-26T14:47:00.000-06:002013-01-26T14:47:25.067-06:00Rachael Rays Potato Salad For a wonderful twist on potato salad, try this recipe by Rachael Ray.

That means out of season fruits are out of taste. The apples have become mealy, the grapes bitter, and the watermelon just hard and bland, not sweet like they are in summer. You may have a taste for them but you will be disappointed.

Even though I bought small cans I still had a lot leftover, so this morning when I made my grandsons pancakes I added a heaping tsp of each filling, blueberry, raspberry, and apple right to the dough. I then fried the pancakes as usual..

My family used to just have mixed vegetables with our holiday dinner. When I had my own family I started making the green bean casserole, however my hubby hates cream of mushroom soup and won't eat anything that contains it.

Of the many ways potatoes can be enjoyed, baked is a favorite especially when eating out. It's the perfect excuse to enjoy the butter and sour cream most of us use as toppings.Usually restaurants serve them on your plate in the foil they were baked in with the steaming centers puffed Kathleen Milazzohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08740462321945695226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30232226.post-39480961808522227832010-09-10T11:17:00.000-05:002010-09-10T11:19:19.658-05:00Avocado Eggroll The other day my son took me to a restaurant that had American food with an Asian twist. He had been there several times before and loved the food. In particular he was hooked on these avocado egg rolls. He insisted on ordering them for me to try. They were incredible though a little expensive.

However the other day he got to go in late so I offered breakfast. He usually eats out or at his restaurant and my husband and 25 year old daughter barely eat at all. So I was excited to have someone to cook for. My son prefers scrambled eggs, and so I came up with this recipe.

When you make this soup make it for your and your family's personal taste. This means put in it what you like and as much of it as per your taste.
This is what I put into my soup:

It helps that there's so much of it that most stores are having great sales. So I bought some beautiful, buttery, Yukon Gold potatoes and made potato salad with them. I call this salad Amazing because my son who is a manager at a small restaurant tasted it and said it was amazing.

I haven't had it for years. My daughter gave me a box of it and for kicks I sliced up a banana and put it in the bowl with the cereal and the water then into the microwave.

Today my son went to the grocery store and brought back some pork chops, potatoes, and soda. Having very little else in the house I really had to think about what I wanted to do with those nice thick boneless chops and all those potatoes.
