Chicken and Edamame Asian Noodles : Quick & E...

Although I love cooking from scratch, sometimes short-cuts help when making quick lunches.  In this recipe I use frozen breaded pop-corn chicken and edamame to cut down on prep and clean-up time.  The results are still tasty, and if you are like me and are fussy about raw chicken clean-up this recipe is a real time saver.  Easy Chicken & Edamame Asian Noodles 1 1/2 c. chicken thin spaghetti (1/3 of a box) or ramen...

Custom Clothing Embellished with Swarovski Crystal...

This is the Fancy Initial T-Shirt I mentioned. I was just looking over the selection at JustJen.com, an online custom clothing boutique.  They offer a wide selection of  sportswear, as well as,  aprons and lingerie.  Just Jen has a great bridal section, but since I’m already happily married, I focused on the little girls clothes.  I liked several of the designs, but was particularly fond of the Fancy Intitial...

The Worst Movies Ever : Small Talk Six...

I have been meaning to do the Small Talk Six, posts for some time, but never seem to get around to it.  This weekend the topic is the worst movies you have ever had the misfortune of watching.  It is harder to think of the worst movies I’ve ever seen, than the best, since most of the stinkers were promptly scrubbed from my memory banks.  Our minds like to protect us from memories like this.  Well here’s my...

Chicken with Walnut Stuffing and Pomegranate Ginge...

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, so I decided to create a dish appropriate for the occasion.  I felt the ”Day for Lover’s” called for a light and flavorful, yet non-odiferous meal (Steak a la Mama and a heaping pile of mashed potatoes, does not a Romeo make.).  In this dish, the boneless chicken breast has a walnut stuffing, is topped with a pomegranate ginger reduction and accompanied...

Do they Realize the Damage they are Doing, or Even...

This is far from a rant  blog.  I strive to maintain a positive and fresh atmosphere here, and be somewhat informative.  This evening something truly disturbed me though. My daughter and I went to one of those big box discount stores tonight, to pick up some groceries.  She sat in the carriage and looked around, while I shopped.  I try not to dally too long in one spot, so she won’t get bored and cranky.  She was...
