I've been making french toast the same way for years. Eggs, a little milk, some sugar and vanilla. Beat, dunk, pan fry. Nothing to write home about, but good enough. Until I made THIS recipe I didn't know just how delicious french toast could taste. I guess I never realized what good french toast was… Continue reading Honeyed French Toast

Grilled Portobello Mushrooms
You could eat an old shoe with this marinade and it would be delicious. Which is perfect, since that's how some people think of mushrooms anyway. In my quest to have a meatless meal once a week, I stumbled upon these meaty mushrooms. They would be an awesome substitution for your burger, or sliced up… Continue reading Grilled Portobello Mushrooms
Granny Smith Apple Salsa
This is not your granny's salsa. I know it isn't because it came from my friend Theresa. And she's nobody's granny. Actually, her sister's husband made it so I guess it's his salsa. Even better. I know for a FACT that HE isn't your granny. I had it at a bridal shower over the weekend… Continue reading Granny Smith Apple Salsa

Fish Tacos with Cilantro Lime Sour Cream
My first experience with fish tacos was in Maui. My husband and I went to a little dive in Kihei and drank Mai Tais and enjoyed numerous fish tacos. It was bliss. I was hooked (ha-ha-ha) at first bite (ok, I'll stop now). Since returning from our second honeymoon, I've tried recreating the delicious spice… Continue reading Fish Tacos with Cilantro Lime Sour Cream

Full of bright colors, tang and texture, this bean salad is sure to be a hit at your next get-together. This salad requires a little time to hang out at the vinegar dressing dance party (aka: in your fridge), but if you know your way around a can opener, you throw the salad together in… Continue reading Fabulous Four Bean Salad
Buffalo Chicken Empanadas
Honestly? These are kind of like homemade hot pockets. At least that's what the hubby tells me. I've never personally had a hot pocket. Just add it to the list of things "all" children of the 80's have eaten that I haven't. Also included are pop tarts & hamburger helper. What can I say? My… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Empanadas
Sweet & Sour Chicken Slaw
I got this recipe out of a BHG magazine and I absolutely love it. Kick up your standard boring coleslaw with the addition of sweet apples, tender chicken and a great dressing. It all comes together in a flash, perfect for the 4th of July and summer BBQ's! This is also an incredibly light meal… Continue reading Sweet & Sour Chicken Slaw
Bubble & Squeak
My daughter became obsessed with this dinner when she heard about it from her Nanny. My family's roots are embedded deeply in our English heritage and my mom loves to tell my kids about all things British. Traditionally this meal is made using leftovers from a roast or ham., thrown together with potatoes and cabbage… Continue reading Bubble & Squeak
