I’ve seen this recipe float around the interwebs for quite some time. I’ve been meaning to give it a try and finally did — just in time to share with you before you start your superbowl menu planning. With the start of the new year, and new year’s resolutions, I thought it’d be a good [...]

I seriously love me some good Mexican food. Chinese takes first place in my heart since I’m half Chinese after all, but Mexican takes a close second. We eat Mexican food all the time; its a weekly staple in our house which also means that fresh salsa is also a staple. My usual go to [...]

This recipe is my easy,  weeknight , time crunched, crowd-pleasing salsa recipe. This recipe is almost my Aunt Jana’s recipe. Her recipe actually calls for garlic powder but after multiple attempts with the powder we’ve decided we prefer fresh garlic but if you happened to be out, use about 1 tsp of powder. This is [...]

I’ve already blogged about Roasted Tomato Salsa before. That recipe is still our favorite. But I wanted to give this recipe a try since its faster to whip up and we love us some good roasted salsa goodness. We really enjoyed this salsa when served on day 1, but the roasty goodness was actually too [...]

Sorry guys, I kinda dropped of the face of the planet again. I’ve been busy this month! We just got back from 8 days in Colorado for vacation! I’ve spent the last year planning a family reunion for hubby’s family and it all finally came together. The last few weeks have been hectic getting work [...]

I’ve never made my own dressing. I’ve always wanted to but have just never got around to it. Until recently that is. A few weeks ago I was contacted by the folks at Stonyfield Farms asking if I’d be interested in trying some of their new Greek Yogurt line, Oikos. I’ve been using Stonyfield for [...]

Since starting weight watchers, we’ve eliminated a lot of carbs from our diet. I don’t think I really realized just quite how many carbs we were consuming. Oh I’ve always known I was a carb lover and don’t get me wrong, I don’t think there is anything “wrong” with carbs but like most things in [...]

I mentioned in a recent post that I started weight watchers. I’ve been “trying” to lose weight for the last year or so…. counting calories off and on, “going” to the gym. Whatever it was that I was doing was failing. More like the lack of what I was doing. I finally had the last [...]

You don’t know how excited I am to be posting this… I have been trying to make salsa for years. Most of the time the flavor was so intolerable we’d throw out the entire batch. My cousins who are all college students make fun of me cause they say salsa is so easy that they [...]

Lately I have been nothing but lazy when it comes to cooking. Work has been absolutely exhausting, I worked a 12 hour day yesterday so cooking has been the last thing on my mind. But I miss it. And I miss blogging so I’m hoping to resolve that soon! But for now, I bring you [...]

I remember seeing this recipe hit the blogosphere months ago, maybe around the superbowl? I actually tried this recipe about two months ago for game night with friends but never got around to writing it up. Now that I’m preparing and planning the menu for our next game night in a few weeks, I remembered [...]

Homemade Croutons

The other night I went to make us salads with dinner and realized we didn’t have croutons in the pantry. I don’t do salad without croutons… they’re the best part! So I thought I’d finally take time to make some especially since I had some great ciabatta bread in the pantry that we hadn’t used [...]

Bruschetta with Tomato & Basil

I confess, until a couple months ago I thought Bruschetta was the combination of toasted baguettes with the tomato & basil topping. I mean when you go to an Italian restaurant it typically says Bruschetta, and what do you get?? The following! But Bruschetta (pronounced brusketta) actually refers to the garlic toasts! So now that [...]

I never realized how much dairy we consume until I went to make vegan superbowl dishes … I had the hardest time coming up with dishes particularly cause everything seemed to involve, especially anything hubby would normally want to eat! I was reminded of Red Pepper dip which was delicious and vegan friendly, and the [...]
