Iceberg lettuce. Blue Cheese Dressing. Onions. Cheddar Cheese. Diced tomato. Bacon bits. Crumbly crackers. Growing up, this was pretty much what I thought salad was; bland vegetables swimming in a sea of white that was there to mask the fact… Continue Reading
I am new to the world of almond milk. Until Bub and I embraced clean eating, I had never had it- barely even noticed it at the grocery store. I mean, I drank cow’s milk- by the gallons! And then… Continue Reading
Sweet and Easy I have a little problem… some days, it is a BIG problem. I have a sweet tooth that is unstoppable. This sweet tooth makes eating healthy at times very challenging. I am always on the look-out for… Continue Reading
I have made references to my stepmom’s signature breakfast… well, one of her signature breakfasts. She’s really a great cook- and this is a simple dish, but Farmer’s Breakfast is truly delish and very easy to make! It is made… Continue Reading
I love pepper jelly. Pour it over an 8-ounce block of cream cheese, throw some wheat thins around it and call it a day! It is easy, delicious, and a general crowd-pleaser. And I have really been inundated with peppers… Continue Reading
In summer’s past, Bub and I tended to revert our time spent in the kitchen back to our college days and pretty much not do much cooking. We were both working a ton of hours and our off days were… Continue Reading
With the delivery of the CSA box every week we have really be inundated with summer veggies. I am determined to not let them waste, but also, eating the same ole same ole is not option. So, I turned to… Continue Reading
It is tomato season! I love them! Homegrown tomatoes are soooo tasty- I wish they grew year round- once you’ve had one, you will just wince when you have to buy one at the grocery store. Lucky for me, I… Continue Reading
I usually wake in the morning with a mission to get food in my belly! Well, actually, I get up with a need to get Spark in my system which is quickly followed with a need to get food in… Continue Reading
I have tried before to cook homemade pita chips and failed- I did not cook them long enough I believe and they never got crisp. But, I thought I would give it one more go. This time, I did it… Continue Reading
As I mentioned previously, we got zucchini in the veggie box from the CSA. Zucchini, to me, is one of those veggies that you can kinda get to fly under the radar and then what do you know, you’ve just… Continue Reading
Maybe it was evident with my Cinco de Mayo Fiesta post that I really love Mexican inspired food. This has not always been the case, but it is certainly the case now! If Bub would allow it, I’d probably have… Continue Reading
At FTTDWYW, I have always maintained that we have the most interesting friends. And I love that seeking out authors for guest posts has allowed me to reconnect with old friends and bring them back into my present. Today’s guest… Continue Reading
Bub and I have really tried to do our best at embracing clean eating. I honestly think that we humans were not made to eat the processed junk that sometimes finds its way into our pantries. Bub and I and… Continue Reading
I have a hard time keeping with the cooking dinner program during the summer. It happens every year. Bub and I start giving each other pep talks in March. “This summer we are going to cook and only eat out… Continue Reading
As you know, I’m in the process of moving from Chicago to Los Angeles. Matter of fact, this time next week will be the actual day we’re moving. But, for now, I’m pack-a-lacking and am surrounded by boxes and empty… Continue Reading
Jojo, like Life cereal’s Mikey, doesn’t like a lot of foods… well, healthy foods, at least. I’m not making fun of him… he’d be the first person to admit it himself. So, when I find a veggie recipe that he will… Continue Reading
I had never had Egg in a Hole for breakfast until I was visiting a dear friend of mine in Auburn many years ago and he made it for everybody staying with him one morning. I was so impressed, I… Continue Reading
Do you know what is the best? Those deep-fried tortilla bowls that you get when you get a taco salad. I never eat them because they are super bad for you… but I saw something on Pinterest that might change… Continue Reading
Question: How do you take corn and lima beans up a notch? Answer: Whip up some succotash! It’s delicious! Some of you may know, but Bub is a restaurant manager at Cobalt, a restaurant down here on the Gulf coast.… Continue Reading
