I created this Greek Chicken and Rice Cake Salad recipe as part of the “Rice Cake Double Take” challenge, to celebrate the addition of three new rice cake flavors from Lundberg Family Farms. Myself and several other bloggers, were sent the new Lundberg Rice Cake flavors, along with coupons for a mystery ingredient. As someone [...]
These “Samurai Slasher” Asian Chicken Drumsticks are actually a melding of two chicken recipes I found on the Cooking Light website archives, and applied to chicken drumsticks for the grill. It all started last night, when I grabbed some nice organic chicken drumsticks on the cheap (the sell by date was today). While I was [...]
This recipe for quinoa with seeds started with simply adding sunflower seeds… then I must have started channeling a sparrow or something & went a little seed crazy…lol. Since quinoa is actually a seed as well, this could have been aptly named a bowl o’ seeds, but calling it “seedy” was the only thing that [...]
These Granny Smith Apple Waffles are one of the solutions I came up with to get my daughter (Little Foodie) to eat at school. She is one incredibly fussy little character, and getting her to eat at school has been an on-going battle all year. She would refuse to eat more than a couple nibbles [...]
These Grilled Shrimp & Corn Tacos were the result of incorporating my recent Grilled Corn & Tomato Salad recipe into shrimp tacos. I used a couple arugula leaves at bottom of my freshly grill taco shells, topped generously with the corn salad, sprinkled with sprinkled Queso Fresco (got that idea from the Blackened Shrimp Tacos [...]
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Sunshine Sweet Corn. I received a gift card to purchase a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. I’ve made a fresh Tex-Mex Grilled Corn and Tomato Salad for you today, with Cinco de [...]
This Curried Zucchini & Sweet Onion Bulgur was a vegetarian lunch for me today, but would work nicely as a side for grilled meats as well. Bulgur is one of my go-to starches when I am watching my calories (and after the ice cream sandwiches my daughter & I ate last night, something has to [...]
I’ve pulled out all the stops today with an extra cheesy buffalo chicken pasta. I adore cheese, and every once in awhile, I give into my “fiending for fromage” sans limitations. Today was one of those glorious days. I basked in the joys of liquid gold, with the added enhancement of a spicy kick. Now, [...]
This easy Shrimp, Asparagus and Tortellini in Lemon-Dill Scampi Sauce was inspired by the bounty of spring, and the fresh flavors of summer soon to come. Asparagus is ridiculously inexpensive right now, and I got a fantastic deal on some frozen wild American shrimp a couple weeks ago, so the combo sort of matched itself [...]
This Fettucini with Roasted Red Pepper & Goat Cheese Buttermilk Sauce was a rarity in my household… something my daughter and I both ate (well, it didn’t quite start that way, there was some drama first). We are both fussy characters. I’m decidedly finicky about what goes in my meals and she has strong textural [...]
