“Let’s order Chinese.” It was one of my most feared dinner recommendations as a kid. I hated Chinese food. Everything was always mixed together and it was almost impossible to get away from vegetables. (And even if I could pick out the veggies, they still managed to get their flavor intertwined in the sauce and …

Are You Ready For Some Pizza???
Super Bowl Sunday came and I had BIG food plans until I looked out the window…SNOW!! My mind heard the sound effect of Pacman being eaten by ghosts. I did not want to run around to grocery stores when our roads were covered with fluff. (If my car could eat the snow like Pacman, it …
Super Condiment for the Super Bowl: Cowboy Candy
Yipppeee! Super Bowl Sunday is this weekend!! I am so excited I could just burst. Congrats to the Patriots and Giants. (Okay, I had to look all of this information up.) I don’t follow football. And I don’t mean that I don’t watch it. I watch it and just don’t follow what the heck is …
Garlic Bread Paradise
Sometimes I surprise myself. Not the startling kind of surprise like saying boo to someone coming around the corner. (But I do like to do that.) It was more of the catching myself off guard kind of surprise when I wanted to make a different recipe for garlic bread. It wasn’t surprising that I was …
Blister in the Pan
If you haven’t guessed by now, I was far from “cool” when I was a teenager. (I’m far from cool as an adult too but I embrace it now.) I wasn’t the gal with the coolest clothes or the best hair. And I was far from being as sophisticated as any of my peers. (Part …
Not A Caponata
In the Midwest, our gardens are just starting to produce some veggies and the anticipation is unbelievable. (Seriously, this is the most excitement I have right now.) I get out a couple times a day and talk to my plants. Our conversations are very one sided but fulfilling for all who are involved. I do …
Cinco de Mayo: The Battle of Guacamole
As promised earlier this year, I was going to try to be better at putting up my recipes BEFORE holiday celebrations are over. So when I looked at my calendar and saw that May was around the corner, I knew I had better start thinking about a couple of recipes for Cinco de Mayo. Contrary …
Dying for Deviled Eggs
Over the past year, I have shared a lot of stories with you. (By stories, I mean my issues that my therapist says I need to let go.) One of my favorite stories is about dying Easter eggs with my sisters. Every year, my mom would hard boil a bunch of eggs, break out the …
Lettuce Wrap About the Super Bowl
Are you ready for some football? (Um, not really.) Super Bowl XLVI will be played on February 5 in Indianapolis Indiana. It should be a great game between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots given the amazing season both teams had this year. (Okay, I have no clue how their year went …
Dropping the Ball on New Year’s Eve
One of my biggest challenges as a foodie is knowing my audience. I’m not talking about an audience like when I used to line up my stuffed animals and do stand up in front of them. (Betty Teddy never got my jokes.) I’m talking about making the right food for the people who will be …
