Corned beef doesn’t have to only be a St. Patty’s Day thing. I love corned beef for breakfast any time of year. I’m a fan of homemade corned beef hashes that feature large chunks of corned beef that you can see (unlike that ‘dog-food’ looking stuff that you get out of a can). I used [...]
¡Hola amigos! Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner. I’m a fan of Mexican food and margaritas so I am a fan of this holiday. Now, I’ve only eaten authentic Mexican food once, from Tijuana, so I can’t really speak to true authenticity here. I hear that Mexican food differs throughout all areas of [...]
quiche /kēSH/ Noun An egg dish filled with anything your heart desires – from meats to veggies to your favorite stuffed animal, baked and best enjoyed with mimosas or bloody marys. Synonyms A great way to use up leftovers in your fridge. Okay, if you didn’t get the idea already, quiches are a perfect excuse [...]
Shakshuka is an Israeli dish that is typically enjoyed for dinner. Glorious and historic Israeli is on my to visit list, but so far I’ve only visited that beautiful land in my dreams. I’ve seen quite a few tv specials on Israeli cuisine and this particular dish always catches my eye. Traditionally, Shakshuka is an [...]
I love poached eggs. I really, REALLY love poached eggs. I love dipping buttery toast into runny egg yolks and gobbling it all up. I could eat the stuff all day every day, but then I wouldn’t have anything to post on here! So to avoid blogger monotony I came up with this creamy eggs [...]
Unemployed life is surprisingly busy. I feel like I have less time now than I had while I was employed. Dealing with insurance issues, the unemployment department, running errands, applying for jobs, fixing my car, interviewing, faxing, mailing, printing, copying… I am exhausted. Maybe this would be a good time to take a vacation. Any [...]
I realize that Pumpkin season has passed, being January and all, but I had a leftover can of pumpkin in my pantry that stared me in the face every time I opened the cabinet and it had to go. This is the first recipe that came to mind (take THAT pumpkin!) Who says you can’t [...]
I live in a small city near the foothills of Colorado. To give you an idea of how life is here, I’ll say that life is pretty simple. I mean, we do have a Walmart and Target and many chain stores, but life seems to stop after the sun sets. The stores downtown close by [...]
I was never any good at chemistry (usually distracted by the funny boys who sat next to me in my class) and few of my baking recipes worked after I moved to a higher altitude, but I couldn’t resist an attempt at making homemade banana bread. There is something completely magical about banana bread. Banana [...]
This is one of my favorite snacks/light breakfasts. The ricotta is very light and fluffy but leaves the canvas open for your own interpretation. When I put this together, I crave fresh strawberries and a bit of agave nectar for added sweetness. It’s a play on healthier strawberry cream cheese. The idea originally spawned from an article I [...]
Happy International Bacon Day! Yes, Bacon is so good, so internationally known, that it too has it’s own day. Take that, International Talk Like a Pirate Day! I love bacon. In fact, that’s me, enjoying a piece of chocolate covered bacon. If I could swim in a vat of any substance, I would swim in [...]
Happy September! This has been a long hot summer. I am ready for the new season, are you? I love coming home to simmering crock pot dinners and snuggling up with my Mister on those crisp autumn nights. I’m a fan of change, especially when it comes to seasons. When the temperature starts to drop, [...]
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...
