I have never, ever, tried tofu. Never really had a reason to. I’m a meat-eater, and tofu was just kind of venturing too far into unknown territory. But I will try any food at least once, and since I’m still on my only-vegetarian-meals-at-home kick,…
I know I have nothing to complain about, seeing as I don’t live in the northen U.S., but we sure have seen some snow this season in Nashville. What better way to warm up, than with a good pot of soup. I chose a…
Last summer I had decided that I was paying way too much to the cable company. In an effort to save a few bucks, I decided to downgrade my cable for the summer. My shows aren’t on and the summer selection is pretty slim.…
I like eggs, I like veggies, and I like cheese, but I do not like omelets. Something about the fluffiness of the eggs and it being wrapped like a burrito. No thank you. Put a little Italian touch on it, call it a frittata,…
By now you should have figured out that I like sweets and I mean I really, really like them…especially chocolate. I won’t turn anything down if it includes chocolate. I may even try chocolate-dipped broccoli! Ok, maybe that’s taking it a bit too far,…
So recently I’ve decided to try and cut out meat from my diet. Mainly red meat and poultry. After watching Food Inc., it wasn’t a tough decision. I don’t think I could ever give it up permanently, but it couldn’t hurt to get more…
Whew! My lips pucker just thinking back to this one. Recently at my mom’s for her birthday celebration, we were watching the Food Network and Barefoot Contessa was on. Ina Garten is one of my favorites. The woman can cook! But I’m not so…
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! What better way to celebrate than with chocolate and strawberries. Throw in some graham crackers and marshmallows and you’ve got yourself a party! I’ve made this gorgeous Strawberry S’more Tart several times and it never ceases to impress. Don’t be…
I am not one to turn down a piece of cake, much less anything in the sweets department. But man do those calories love to latch on to my hips! So the few times a year I actually start doing something about it, I like…
I love describing things as “vanilla” when they are ordinary or a little too normal. Some folks are vanilla and some folks are not. I happen to be one of the nots. I will never order a vanilla ice cream and you’d have to…
I have hit the mother lode. Everyone has a few things for which they will pay top dollar. Be it shoes, cars, jewelry, etc. Mine? Food. Specifically? Chocolate. It’s such a cliche about women and chocolate, but oh baby with me it’s true! I…
There’s nothing better than a healthy obsession (does that exist or did I just create an oxymoron like jumbo shrimp?), except when two of those obsessions merge! And I use the term “healthy” loosely since I’m referring to the combination of pecan pie and…
