I am sharing this recipe, which has nothing to do with meal prep for the big day because I made them the other night … Continue reading Thai sticky chicken fingers
What is you immediate thought when someone asks you to bring an appetizer? I start going over what I like; then onto what do I have on hand and then what do I feel like eating. I don’t think I have a “go-to” app that I am known for. Well maybe caprese salad on crostini’s might be the one I make and bring the most. … Continue reading Cheeseburger Sliders
I love my family of foodies. My son called me Friday night to ask me what I was doing on Saturday. I guess he and his wife were going to go to a dumpling festival that ended up being cancelled. So they decided to make their own dumpling “festival” of sorts in my kitchen. I LOVE dumplings; I have made several different kinds and I … Continue reading Egg Rolls with Asian dipping sauces
I haven’t done a ton of cooking my Viking hood failed me after 20 years. It was a pretty crazy how it all happened. The fan and possibly the lights were on and I walked across the room from the living room to shut it off and got zapped from static electricity. It shut the fan off immediately I shook my hand and probably swore … Continue reading BBQ Marinated Shrimp
This is one of the things on the menu today that I will be making, I am sure it it not a healthy option but I think it is a slightly healthier than chicken wings, OK I know that’s a low hurdle but the fam has been discussing how to pay more attention to our health. My husband made chili for the game today; albeit … Continue reading General Tso’s Cauliflower

Well this past week I made several new things I could or better thought I could have shared. The only problem is I messed up two of … Continue reading Infused watermelon & fresco cheese salad
For those of you who know what Lumpia is bare with me as I share my story. Firstly I did not make them and I do not have a recipe to share per say. Lumpia is a Filipino spring roll that one of my daughters co-worker; when he found out that she had been to the Philippines and loved the food he shared some of … Continue reading Lumpia – taste testing
After reading this you might wonder how I could possibly pair the recipe I am going to share versus what I had for dinner last night. The first picture is the recipe I think you should make. All pictures are from my phone. Last night was a gastronomical experience; I think that is the only way to describe it. We met some friends at Stages … Continue reading Hawaiian BLPTS – King’s Hawaiian rolls
I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving whatever you chose or were able to do! We had a very nice dinner with a few family members. It takes a lot of time to prepare for a large meal between thinking of what to serve, buying the ingredients, prepping, cooking and cleaning up after for a meal that takes less than 30 minutes to eat. … Continue reading Thanksgiving leftover sliders
Hope you are well and still healthy! How often do you take a look at what is in the back of your cupboards? Me not very often. Take in point I had bought duck sauce at the store quite some time ago. At least I thought I bought it, I recall it on my list and that was that. I had some left over fried … Continue reading Bacon wrapped Dates
