Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
I was craving exactly this recently; light and cool with plenty of flavor. I think we will be eating a lot of it over the summer. I found it at skinnytaste.com and made it just like the recipe suggested. 1 lb jumbo cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined, chopped 1 medium tomato, diced 1 hass avocado,... Continue Reading →
This is the ultimate cake for a true chocolate/salted caramel lover. Honestly I can think of only three people I am willing to bake one for because it is such a beast! One of those three had a birthday yesterday and this was the result. I used this recipe for my daughter's high school graduation... Continue Reading →
My friend Kristy and I discovered this pizza at Mellow Mushroom somewhere in Georgia a few years ago. She loves caesar salads and I like anything different, so we had to try it. Apparently it is not available at all Mellow Mushrooms, only those who have met certain quotas and such. It doesn't matter to... Continue Reading →
I got this simple recipe from my friend Kara, it seems to be the official snack of our kids' high school. Apparently it's so addictive that they call it crack, so I don't even allow myself to try it. If I did, I'm sure I would add peanuts or something salty. This is a recipe... Continue Reading →
It's been too cold for too long at our house. This calls for comfort food. I had some leftover Charleston Grits, grilled chicken and roasted vegetables. So I put them all together and placed an egg over easy on top. Nothing better.
My friend asked me to post this recipe, it's a staple in our house to the point that I've never really seen it written down. Because of the bite of vinegar and the sweet of sugar, it's a dish that people either love or really don't. There is nothing healthy about this dish except for... Continue Reading →
It's ridiculously cold this week, so I have been baking a lot to warm the center of our house. This is one of my all-time favorites, probably because my Mom made it throughout my childhood, she says the recipe came with a blender years ago! If you like pumpkin or zucchini bread, you're going to... Continue Reading →
Every year for as long as I can remember, we have had fudge for the holidays. My great-grandmother, who was a wonderful cook, would pull a tin out of the freezer and let you have one square before dinner. And then she would send the tin full of fudge home with us! What a treat!... Continue Reading →
I think everyone in the country is being affected by the cold at this point, so I want to share the simplest, hearty soup recipe I've got. There's nothing healthy about it, but it's what I make for sick friends year 'round and for families with new babies in winter, along with a loaf of... Continue Reading →
Anybody got a crazy week planned? We sure do! Looking ahead I see very little breathing room, with meetings or responsibilities each night. Ironically, yesterday was a quiet day for us, which gave me some time to prepare for the onslaught. One way that I get ready is to cook components of dinner ahead of... Continue Reading →
