Rhubarb Tagine

Posted on June 1, 2016 | 6 comments

Rhubarb is one of my spring-time favorites. It is most often used in desserts, but that tangy flavor goes well into so many other things! I don’t make that many desserts either, so I have to get creative to find ways to enjoy rhubarb. Rhubarb and dates combine to make a rhubarb tagine that is both tangy and fruity! Continue reading →

It’s time for Po’Boys my friends! The Po’Boy is a Louisiana style sub sandwich that can be as creative as you are. Po’boys got there name from a restaurant in New Orleans during a local factory strike. The restaurant served free sandwiches to the “poor boys” that were on strike. My shrimp po’ boys with zingy slaw is a traditional take on the sandwich, having fried seafood and dressed with coleslaw! Continue reading →

Blue Cheese Wedge Salad with Veggie Bacon

Posted on April 29, 2016 | Leave a comment

I love to eat salads at restaurants. They are always so much more indulgent than the salads I tend to make at home. After trying blue cheese wedge salad at many restaurants, I couldn’t resist remaking the recipe at home.

This salad recipe is made with iceburg lettuce. This is the only time I use iceburg in my kitchen. Other lettuces don’t hold up to my standards for a wedge.

The crispness and texture are perfect, and I can indulge in my blue cheese obsession. The only true down side to iceburg lettuce is that it is not nutritious like other leafy greens. Continue reading →

Pizza Baked Potatoes

Posted on April 16, 2016 | 2 comments

With a little bit of effort and planning you can prevent this kind of waste. Today’s Pizza Baked Potatoes was created because I had a small amount of pasta sauce that was not going to go down the drain. The recipe was so good that I made it multiple times and perfected the seasonings, and today I’m sharing it with you! Continue reading →
