The Naked Power Garden sweepstakes is live! Entering is as easy as voting for your favorite recipe. Of course I would love it if you voted for mine, so I don’t look like a monumental schlub (It’s the hot pink sherbet in the 3rd row). Here is the link to enter: https://www.facebook.com/BlissbyGlam/app_468419539902553 Voters will [...]
This Lemon Balm and Summer Veggie Tabouli recipe is one great way to use up some of that Lemon Balm you have taking over your garden. Don’t curse it’s abundance. Eat it! Lemon balm is a vastly under used herb in my opinion, which is a shame since many have this prolific plant in their [...]
I sort of bumbled through the making of this Bumbleberry Pie Sundae Parfait. I certainly didn’t need the full recipe. I made about a third of a batch & made myself a big ol’ double size Bumbleberry Pie Sundae in a large wine glass… parfait style.
Naked Juice has a brand new line of juices out that feature a serious quantity of veggies in them. If you are unaware, Naked Juice is just that… juice. It has no added sugars or other flavorings and preservatives. I tried the two Power Garden juices, in preparation to create a recipe using one or [...]
After being so very very good for the first few months of the year, sloth and snacking over the past few have cause me to “rediscover” a few pounds. Thus, I’m currently working on getting them back off and hopefully a few more along with them. This Tomato-Caper Chicken and Cauliflower “Rice” Packets recipe is low calorie, low carb, gluten-free, and thanks to I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter also trans and hydrogenated fat free…
Fiddlehead Fern Saute : An Easy Fiddleheads Recipe Those of you familiar with eating fiddleheads, were completely unphased by the title of this post. The uninitiated among you, most likely said “Huh, what the heck weird stuff is she trying to convince me to eat now”. The weird stuff is Fiddlehead fern fronds. Trust me [...]
It has been about a week now since I switched from Cascade Complete powder to the new Cascade Platinum pacs. As I told you last week I was already pretty happy with the results I was getting, more so than with any other detergent I’d tried to date, but apparently there was some room for improvement…
I make various versions of this Spicy Peanut-Lime Grilled Chicken Salad a lot in the summer. Especially since, chicken and peanut butter are two of the few higher protein foods my daughter will eat. She has been on a chicken kick lately, and selected chicken on her “talker” (tablet used as a communication device), along [...]
Rosewater Limeade is one of my favorite drinks to make in the summer. The rosewater elevates the simple inexpensive lime and sugar drink into something elegant. I make my Rosewater Limeade recipe a little heavier on the limes than many homemade limeade recipes. This enables the lime flavor to hold strong against rapidly melting ice [...]
One thing I am particularly fussy about is automatic dish washing detergent. Little is more annoying in the kitchen, than opening up the door on a freshly washed load of dishes only to find out the job has not been properly done and crusty gunk is now firmly adhered to the contents. To avoid this, my standard choice to use in my dishwasher is Cascade powder. I’ve cheated on my Cascade and tried other brands here and there, but always go back. They just don’t get the job done as well. This is why I’m happy to announce my participation in Cascade’s “My Platinum” Ambassador Program…
