Well I admit, I have never been big on mashed cauliflower. It’s pretty boring, just give me real mashed potatoes but I just can’t handle the carbs. Of course I knew to make better faux “potatoes” using cauliflower, I needed lots of fat and something to give the lifeless steamed veggie some “body”. Here is…
So much has happened over the last 6 weeks that I have been too busy to blog about it, just surviving everyday. If I wasn’t so short of time this Sunday afternoon (typing this while both boys are sleeping) I would fill you in… stay tuned, it’s coming but just not today. 🙂
Nothing says Southern than Squash Casserole! This recipe is simple but delicious! This recipe is filled with fresh squash from the farmers market and fresh raw cheddar cheese, yum! It even has a crunchy topping! Bring this to your next family gathering and you will be asked to bring this dish again and again!
Creamy spinach and my secret ingredient… Spaghetti Squash! This side dish is so good and the texture of the spaghetti squash really adds to this recipe! Spaghetti squash is such a versatile food and EASY to prepare in the Slow Cooker!
Looking for a delicious and easy way to prepare your fresh zucchini that everyone will love?? Well look no farther! Not only are these home fries delicious but they are SO easy to make! They are the perfect side item on a busy summer day!
One word…BACON!! LOL I know that sometimes food bloggers can go a little extreme when it comes to bacon but I personally think too much bacon is nearly impossible! Bacon is of course good with eggs, green beans, asparagus, beef, chicken, and pretty much any other veggy and meat. But did you know that it’s…
The age-old question… Is Piccadilly’s famous Carrot Souffle a dessert or a side?? Honestly, I never really ordered it because I always considered it a dessert. Most of the time when I went out to eat, I didn’t get dessert because of all the sugar, but that never stopped me from getting a pasta dish…
WOW, I can’t believe Thanksgiving is less than one week away! Between giving birth to my 2nd son in March (22 months after the birth of my first son), being a SAHM to my two little guys, and finishing up my 2nd cookbook in two years, I am one tired, but happy mama! I am…
Here is another great and EASY idea for celebrating the 4th… Crunchy Chips and Delicious Salsa!
This is a public service announcement! Today, I watched a YouTube video of a blogger showing her fellow readers (viewers) how to cook a spaghetti squash and I couldn’t even finish watching the 3 minute video because I couldn’t tell if she was about to cut her hand off trying to cut through the hard,…
Eggs are the perfect food! Relatively inexpensive, easy to prepare and a great source of protein! I cringe every time I hear someone say they only eat the white of the egg! Eggs have been a huge part of my diet since I was a kid. We would sometimes get fresh eggs from our…
This is such an easy dish using some of the best veggies and herbs from the garden. The cucumber takes this caprese salad to the next level. I eat this with a spoon so I can be sure to get all of the balsamic vinaigrette out of the bowl! Nothing better…
Yes, I said bacon fried green beans! I probably could have said bacon fried celery and you would have still opened up the recipe! 😉 This is such an easy dish. The key is to “fry” but not burn the green beans. Fresh-frozen green beans can be used but I prefer fresh. They have a…
After a trip to Baton Rouge’s Red Stick Farmer’s Market, I always leave with fresh produce, pecans and great raw cheeses! Some of my favorite veggies are: tomatoes, cauliflower and last but not least, broccoli. I love broccoli! It doesn’t have to be cooked and covered with cheese to taste good although that would have…
Yes, I did it! I have gone where no one has gone before…. My challenge was to re-create yummy macaroni and cheese that taste just as good as what your mom used to make but not use any grain product or imitation cheese. Mission ACCOMPLISHED! The macaroni and cheese my mom used to make was simple. Macaroni…
I think I have found the one savory food that is more addictive than wheat or sugar! The only reason I didn’t eat the entire batch is because I wanted my husband to try it when he got home. Well, only 4 pieces made it to his plate! 😉 The crunchy eggplant with the…
