Today the role of guest foodie will be played by Connie’s sister, Cherie.
I am constantly looking for healthy recipes and ways to make not-so-healthy foods healthier. I am known for adding protein powder to just about anything, and sneaking veggies in where they don’t belong – or so I am told 🙂
Unlike my sister, I tend to avoid cooking with Bacon, much to my husband’s dismay. I was excited when Connie sent me a link to a recipe for cookie dough balls; which are healthier than they sound.
I have mentioned before how I love getting supermarket check-out cooking magazines. Well, I once again gave into my impulse and grabbed the January/February issue of The Food Network Magazine. The cover featured a delicious bowl of chili that caught my eye.
These are little bites of heaven, and I thought that they would be the perfect recipe to share leading up to Valentine’s Day. You may be asking yourself why, and the answer is simple, I love bacon, so this is kind of like a Valentine’s treat for myself 🙂
I don’t prepare pork chops very often. I am a big fan of pork tenderloin, but for some reason I avoid pork chops in the grocery store. As part of my new recipe a week resolution, I thought I would give pork chops another chance.
The role of today’s guest food blogger will once again be played by Connie’s husband, Jamie.
Super Bowl Sunday™ is this weekend and for many (read: Connie), what is on the menu shares equal, if not greater importance, with what is on the television.
If you’re not a fan of football, chances are all this talk about pigskin leading up to the big game has conjured up images of bacon frying away in the pan. OK, perhaps that only happens in our house…
This year, though, it was supposed to be no contest; food was going to play second fiddle.
A few weeks ago we were over at Kim and Ryan’s for an amazing dinner. Kim surprised Jamie with an über delicious Triple BerryCrumble for his birthday. As part of the menu for the evening, Kim made these delicious Spinach Balls. They were very tasty and we ate them all before dinner was served.
As part of my quest to try new recipes in 2012, I went to my cookbook shelf looking for a new cookie recipe. We were having a staff meeting, and what better way to experiment with a new cookie recipe than to feed them to your co-workers. In all my years of doing this, no-one has complained. 🙂
In fulfilling my New Years Resolution, I grabbed a cookbook off the shelf in the search of a new chicken soup recipe. As I was turning the pages PB&J Chicken caught my eye. Did that just say what I think it did? When I flipped back I was surprised and intrigued. Peanut Butter and Jam Chicken? Well, I like peanut butter, I like jam and I like chicken, so I had to see how this was going to turn out!
Not only is today my first post of 2012, but it is also my husband, Jamie’s birthday! So, I thought that I should make a special breakfast to mark this special occasion.
I love this time of year, as you get to sample a lot of baked goods in the office kitchen 🙂 There is nothing better than your co-workers coming in with a tray of goodies that they have prepared on the weekend, it really brings a nice holiday vibe to the office.
