I have tried the fried cheese at just about every restaurant in the Seattle area. I love it. In sticks, wedges or balls. With marinara, sprinkled with parmesan, panko, breadcrumbs or beer battered. I would eat it in a box. I would eat it with a fox. I would eat it here or there. I… Continue reading Fried Mozzarella Balls

Fruit Salsa & Cinnamon Chips
I was trying to sort thru some old photos on my computer today when I came across a few I didn't even remember taking. Also, about 20,000 pictures of my kids. Wow. It's a wonder they aren't blind from all the flash bulbs going off in their faces. I apparently took pictures of food well… Continue reading Fruit Salsa & Cinnamon Chips
Lizzy’s Cowboy Salsa
Is there someone in your life who seems perpetually stuck at a certain age? Until recently, I've always thought of my baby sister as the age she was when I left home. In my mind she just kind of stopped growing up. Probably because I didn't see her every day, I got involved in my… Continue reading Lizzy’s Cowboy Salsa
Chinese Chicken Salad
One of my all time favorite light meals is Chinese Chicken Salad. I always thought it was hard to make, until my friend Emily shared her recipe with me. Wow. So easy and scrumptious. I love it! Crunchy almonds mixed with a slightly sweet, slightly tangy sauce take a plain old bag of coleslaw mix… Continue reading Chinese Chicken Salad
Crack Bread
I've seen this "recipe" so many times on Pinterest, I just had to give it a try. It is not elegant. It is not classy. You should not serve this to impress your husband's boss. This is as far from diet food as you can possibly get. Not good for you at all. I could… Continue reading Crack Bread
Spanakopita (Spinach Triangles)
My husband says I move 20% faster than a normal person. He says it's how I get so much done every day. Also, why I trip over toys constantly and frequently stub my toes on corners, door jams, chair legs, table legs and other people's feet. Usually I consider my super speed a blessing. Not… Continue reading Spanakopita (Spinach Triangles)
Crispy Parmesan Asparagus Fries
In general, my kids are very good at eating their vegetables. But I'm always looking for ways to make them more appealing. Although they'll both eat asparagus with just a little olive oil, salt n' pepper - they certainly don't gobble it down like they did these crunchy flavorful asparagus fries. Yum yum! These would… Continue reading Crispy Parmesan Asparagus Fries
Pepperoni Pizza Rolls
My poor kids have been in a lunchtime rut for a while now. All I ever make them is turkey and peanut butter sandwiches. No, not together. Turkey for the girl. Peanut butter for the boy. My son always asks for "peanut butter...(yelling) and JAM!". Apparently he's unclear if I remember from the previous 200… Continue reading Pepperoni Pizza Rolls
Caprese Salad
This is the easiest and most elegant appetizer to whip together ever. People go nuts over it, but it's amazingly simple to prepare. I made this for my son's third birthday. It was Cars themed and my husband said I should make something with tomatoes and put a sign next to it that said "Tow… Continue reading Caprese Salad
Greatest Chicken Salad Ever
Everyone should have a favorite go-to chicken salad recipe. If you don't, use this one. It's the greatest in the world. I thought I'd posted this ages ago, but when my sister went looking for it there was nary a chicken salad recipe to be found. So here it is. Depending on how I'm feeling,… Continue reading Greatest Chicken Salad Ever
