Football Food for Super Bowl Sunday

Posted on January 31, 2016 | Leave a comment

Football Food

I love watching football all season long.  Football Sundays are cherished for us when the fall rolls around.  It is special because there are so few games to the season, in comparison to other sports.  We huddle around the couch, spending time together enjoying copious amounts of football food! I love to experiment with all kinds of foods, finding the most fun and creative to eat for those special days!   Continue reading →

Smoked Fish Dip with Toast Points

Smoked fish is a favorite of mine.  I use it in many dishes because it is so rich and salty, it has the ability to make almost anything taste rich as well.  When you add smoked fish to something rich and creamy, it becomes over the top! Continue reading →

Lentil and Bulgar Sloppy Joes

Sloppy Joes with Blugar and Lentils

Every time I am in the store and see all the pre-made packages of food, I say to myself, I can make that!  No package necessary.  This was my inspiration to make sloppy joes.  I did not grow up eating sloppy joes, probably because I was too picky of an eater as a kid!  Someone should have told me how fun they are to eat!

Beer Battered Buffalor Cauliflower by Alison's AllspiceSpicy buffalo sauce is one of my favorite flavors.  I mentioned this in my post for Buffalo Queso Dip.  Experimenting with food is kind-of a food bloggers job, and I will experiment all day with buffalo sauce!  And please don’t think I’m kidding.  Good hot sauce can belong on breakfast, lunch or dinner.  Or on this appetizer, Beer Battered Buffalo Cauliflower!

Avocado Tostadas

Posted on January 9, 2016 | Leave a comment

Tacos are considered a kings food in my house.  Tostadas are flat tacos, right?  Well, not really.  Tostada means “toasted.”  It’s kind-of hard to toast a taco because all the ingredients are wrapped up inside it’s crunchy shell (or soft shell depending on your preference).  Tostadas and tacos have very similar (if not the same) ingredients, therefore, we are making room for toasty tostadas at the king’s table!  Especially these avocado tostadas!

Buffalo Queso Dip

Posted on December 29, 2015 | Leave a comment

This dip is a riff on Buffalo Chicken Dip.  Buffalo is one of my favorite flavors that I miss.  This dip is an awesome way to enjoy it.  I am planning on making it to celebrate the last regular season football game coming up this Saturday, but it would work well at a new years eve celebration as well!

Bok Choy and Mushroom Soup

Posted on December 9, 2015 | 2 comments

The farmer’s market here is finally over.  Finally seams inappropriate because I will miss it so greatly until April rolls around.  Saturday mornings in the spring are like Christmas for me.  What surprises will there be? What will I not be able to go home without after its first appearance at the market? For this soup, I let the lingering fall produce make my selections.  Bok choy was only $1.00!  I coudn’t leave it behind, and hence this soup was born.

Easy Guacamole

This recipe is my favorite.  I mean it, I am so excited to share this recipe.  Guacamole is something that should be easy to make.  And this recipe is delicious as well.  I made this recipe by testing time and time again, until I came up with the perfect combination.  I stock all the ingredients, except the avocado, in my pantry so I can whip it up at any time!
