There is a deli just outside of Denver that Mister and I absolutely love to eat at when we’re in the area. They are as Jewish as a Jewish deli can get. They have matzo ball soup, challah bread, lox, latkes, knish, pastrami … you name it and they have it. This particular deli also [...]
Only one more day until I leave for Wisconsin. Not permanently mind you, but an extended stay for me none-the-less. I just finished packing and I thought I’d write a quick ditty to you before I disappear. I do have access to the internet out there but my mom seems very offended whenever I log on. So [...]
Tasty Meat Warning: Only make this dish if you enjoy extremely tender, juicy shredded beef. If you’d rather have dry, tough meat, this recipe is not for you. I began this delicious journey when Mister chose a DIY Nacho Bar for our big Super Bowl entree. I found this recipe for barbacoa on Serious Eats and used [...]
These little pigs in a blanket are all dressed up as mummies and ready to party hardy in your mouth. Decorate with mustard or ketchup for added cuteness. These are one of the first things to disappear so I usually make a double batch. On a side note, this adorable photo is courtesy of the [...]
Today, Marvin Lee Aday is 65 years old. To celebrate this paradise, dashboard-loving artist, I thought it appropriate to post a meatloaf recipe *smiles* Oh the cleverness of me. Meatloaf is one of those dishes that people either love or hate. If your mom made you dry meatloaf as a kid, you probably never wanted to look [...]
It’s getting to be that time of year again. Every Fall we are rewarded with the bright colors and flavors of the bell pepper harvest. And of course, a bell pepper can only be made better by stuffing it with a mound of tasty morsels! There are so many ways to prepare stuffed peppers. This [...]
Hi everyone! How are you? I had a craving for tacos the other day but I wanted to try a lighter alternative to your typical, high-fat taco shell. BAM! This lettuce taco wrap was born. Just like when you add shredded lettuce to any taco, the lettuce adds a fresh, crispness to the otherwise heavy [...]
Happy Monday! How was your St. Patrick’s weekend? Are you feeling a bit slow and groggy this morning? Corned beef hash is a great hangover food. Around St. Patrick’s Day, I typically buy the biggest corned beef brisket I can find or I buy two of them to guarantee leftovers to make this hash. Don’t [...]
Happy St. Patty’s Day Everyone! I make corned beef every year for this very occasion. I absolutely loved homemade corned beef – by itself, piled high on sandwiches or in a breakfast hash. Slow-simmered corned beef is extremely (and I mean EXTREMELY) tender and flavorful! I saw this recipe on Oleander and Palm and knew [...]
In college, I lived right across the street from this great Chinese restaurant called Jade Dragon. At the time I didn’t have a kitchen, so the Jade Dragon was a staple in my weekly diet. They had one of those typical lunch specials – where you get a cup of soup and an egg roll [...]
I’m one of those Americans that is a bit lost in her heritage, or maybe I should say my lack of heritage. I didn’t have an Italian grandmother who taught me how to make noodles from scratch or an Ethiopian family who shared recipes centuries old. I am who I am – a 100% American [...]
My ever growing list of things that I dislike about HOA’s They don’t like the fact that I had my bike stored on my patio (where else am I going to store my bike, in my bathroom?) They don’t like grills, especially my beautiful 3-burner grill, on patios either. Something about a fire hazard? Yadda, [...]
Hello! My name is Nicole. I'm a blogger, a sports fan and a bacon activist. When I'm not making a huge mess in the kitchen, I am leaving my mark outside or gaming with my Mister. Read more...
