Ham-Bam
When I was little, I got on this kick where I started rhyming everything. It wasn’t just “Mom.” It was Mom-bom. And Joshy-squashy. Sarah-warah. Becky-wecky. (Funny – I think Dad got left out of the rhyming business. Dad-bad doesn’t go over so well. And Dad-wad? I must have known which boundaries not to cross.) You…

Appetizing…
I know you’re starved by now since all we gave you yesterday was a drink. But what a fabulous drink it was! Kristi came through with a Minty Peach Iced Tea. Perfect for this warm weather we’ve been having here in North Carolina! Today, Renee over at Living, Laughing, and Loving is making an appetizer…

Encouraging My Addiction
Wait. You have an addiction? Why yes. I first wrote about it here when I shared the recipe for Greek Chicken Nachos. In that post, I confessed my {recently discovered} love for chickpeas. I also mentioned that I had not yet found a hummus recipe that was up to par with the one I loved at…

Smooooooth
I’ve always been a fan of cold drinks. Ice cold chocolate milk Frozen lemonade Frappuccinos (usually mocha flavored) Milkshakes (chocolate malt? oh yes.) Pretty much everything in that list is high in calories and fat. Except possibly the frozen lemonade…depending how you make it. Well, one day smoothie were introduced into my life. Stopthebus…a frozen…

Grandma’s Best
My Grandma always had some of the best food. Of course, there were always Oreos in the pig-shaped cookie jar, peppermint patties in the candy jar, and ice cream bars in the freezer. Sometimes there were ice cream bars in the shape of Mickey Mouse. And we could drink Orange soda and eat barbecue chips…

Greek Chicken Nachos
I’ve been on a chickpea kick lately. Just ask my husband. He’s been subjected to all sorts of variations of chickpea recipes in the past few months. It all started with some hummus I ordered at Zoe’s Kitchen. “Yum” only begins to describe it. I was pregnant at the time and thought about that hummus…

Now That’s Fishy
Last week when I was planning out my meals, I pulled a new recipe out of my fabulous recipe binder. (Have I told you how much I love that thing? And how much easier it makes my life? Oh yes, I have. Don’t get me started.) It was a recipe for fish sandwiches. I mentioned…

Sanity Saver (Kitchen Edition)
One of my goals for 2011 was to organize my recipes. It never happened. I even had this nice binder to organize them…but I never did it. That’s because I knew it would be a monstrous task to go through all my recipes. So I just never did it. However, meal planning started taking longer…

Overflowing Oatmeal
You know it’s gonna be a rough day when… Yes, some days I feel like a get a lot accomplished. It’s 5pm, dinner is in the crockpot, both kids are happily somewhat happily waiting for their Daddy to get home, the house is relatively clean… And other days are more like, well, more like overflowing…

Bowls of Bread
A little while ago I did an excellent thing. An excellent thing indeed. I made bread bowls. I had never made them before, but boyhowdy…I will certainly be makin’ them again. If you love soup, you have got to give this recipe a try. Especially now – during the winter months – there’s just…

Party Hearty
So what are your plans for New Year’s Eve? Any parties goin’ on? One of my favorite types of “party food” is an all-appetizer menu. Seriously. You know, some of the best food in the world is contained under the appetizer menu. It also tends to be pretty fattening, but hey…it’s New Year’s Eve. The…
