I refused to make losing weight a resolution again this year, so I decided to make one just to eat healthier. In my quest for this, I scoured my recipe books to find meals that were better choices. Knowing that fish is high in protein and lower in calories, I searched…
I was first introduced to Publix way back in 1996 in Orlando, FL, but didn’t notice this grocery store as anything special until I moved back to Nashville almost 4 years ago. At that time, it was quite a drive to Publix, but having…
Where have I been! I must be in the running for the #1 slacking blogger. It’s been way too long since I’ve blogged, but luckily not as long since I’ve been eating! Seeing as it’s snowing pretty heavily here in the south, and everything’s…
Now this post may bring on some chuckles for my selection in “fine items,” but I couldn’t resist. I’m a sucker for any new product, especially with that “limited edition” stamp! Looking around during my weekly stroll through the grocery store, I found a…
You can tell from my last few entries that I was really into one-dish meals that are easy to whip together. With frozen ravioli, frozen broccoli, and a jar of alfredo, there wasn’t too much heavy lifting on this Primavera Ravioli Bake. The recipe…
In my same mode of finding meals without the usual meats, this Chipotle Red Beans and Rice Casserole really fits the bill. The good thing about casseroles is that you throw a bunch of ingredients together, bake it, and waa la! Dinner! So, how’s…
Mmmm, mmmm! I was looking for a new dish that didn’t have the usual ground beef, ground turkey, or chicken. I came across this recipe for Onion-Topped Sausage and Potato Dinner. Quick-to-fix is no joke. I didn’t have to do much more than chop…
I’m a big fan of pasta and an even bigger fan of cheese. This meal is a win-win combination! My latest recipe to try is the Three-Cheese Beef Pasta Shells dish. It was very easy to make, but messy when stuffing the shells. The…
From time to time, I like to taste some new products (or new to me). While at the World Market, I stumbled upon their nice collection of sodas. Having a fondness for Orange Crush, I decided to try Nesbitt’s Orange. At $1.49, it was…
I was so excited about making this Impossibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie. My mother has made this for me before and I remember it being very good. And the recipe couldn’t be easier. Very few ingredients. Cook the beef, mix, and pour into a pie…
Oh baby! Seriously, I never wanted this meal to end and I’m paying for it now. I am so stuffed because I simply could not quit eating! this Creamy Asparagus-Chicken Bow-Ties! Talk about easy. I changed the bow-tie pasta to penne and once again…
I have tons of those little Betty Crocker and Pillsbury cooking magazines. I was a subscriber for almost ten years! And how many recipes have I made from all those delicious entries? Probably less than 30. So I decided, with inspiration from the movie…
