“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 …
Year of the Snake Soup
Hiisssssss!!!! (That is how a snake would say Happy New Year!) The year of the Dragon is coming to an end and the Year of the Snake will slither in this weekend. I’ve read a lot about “snake people” and I must say I am now intimidated. (Snake people were born in the years:1905, 1917,1929,1941,1953,1965,1977, …
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 …
Livin’ the Dream: Bacon Rice Krispie Treats
2:34. 2:34? 2:34! Why the heck did I wake up at 2:34?! Now according to my husband, I was not fully awake. I would have to agree. I remember lifting my head, looking at the clock and plopping my head back on my pillow. I know I didn’t fully go to sleep for a few …
Chilly Weather Chicken Chili
If you live in the Midwest, there is one thing you are talking about right now…the weather. I don’t know why it surprises us every year because the same thing happens EVERY year. Winter comes. We all say to each other what a mild winter it has been so far. We talk of how it …
Im”pasta”er Pesto
I decided today that there would be no conditions to this blogpost. I’m going to make it an open field and just let the truth come out. (I learned on television this week that you can really start a buzz about something if you say those sentences first.) My original intent today was to get …
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 …
Now You Are Speaking My Language
Considering I barely have command of English, it should be no surprise to you that I don’t speak any other languages. Attempts were made in high school to learn French and Spanish but I didn’t absorb much more than learning to ask which way to the bathroom. (If you jump up and down and hold …
Mushroom Soup Resolution
It is the second week of the year and I am always curious how people approach their New Year’s resolutions at this point. Have you even started yet? Or have you already given up? For a couple of reasons, there are some resolutions that I NEVER make such as losing weight (have you seen me?), …
