Salads aren’t my favorite food unless they are terrible for you. A perfect example: I like the Caesar salad at my local restaurant, as well as the BBQ steak salad. I used to eat cobb salad regularly at a restaurant called Chadsmiths, though. Over the weekend, I was pleased to try out this lightened-up version.… Continue reading Healthy Cobb Salad
Homemade Cheese Straws
It’s fresh-baked cheddar crackers in a straw shape, which is fine with me. The crackers are crisp, cheesy, and buttery. Delicious in every way. I did not have a party to bring these to, but they would make a great party appetizer. I made these mainly because I saw them on a popular blog and… Continue reading Homemade Cheese Straws
Simple & Pure Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe
Vanilla Ice Cream. Just the way it should be. Delightful. It was topped with colored sprinkles, my favorite ice cream topping. Hot fudge was on my agenda, but I was too lazy to make it. As I was taking this picture, my first thought was to add some sprinkles to the ice cream, which made… Continue reading Simple & Pure Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe
Low Fat Baked Onion Rings Recipe
Our family loves these oven-baked onion rings, and we’ve been making them for a long time. Sweet Vidalia onions are coated in flour, then buttermilk, and then crushed potato chips. To spice things up a bit, I add dried herbs to my friend’s recipe along with cayenne pepper. My recommendation is to cut your rings… Continue reading Low Fat Baked Onion Rings Recipe
Homemade Peanut Butter Recipe
It’s straightforward to make your own peanut butter, and everyone should try it. I bought some honey-roasted peanuts soon after seeing this recipe on another blog a while back. Sadly, I didn’t make it. Then, this past weekend, as I was preparing the Udon Noodles with a lime-peanut sauce, I realized that I didn’t have… Continue reading Homemade Peanut Butter Recipe
Peanut Sauce Udon Dinner Recipe
One of my cookbook’s best recipes. The dish starts with whole wheat noodles and then adds tons of delicious green vegetables, followed by a tasty peanut sauce. It comprises creamy peanut butter (I made my own – more on that in another post), soy sauce, vinegar, lime juice, scallion, ginger, brown sugar, and red pepper… Continue reading Peanut Sauce Udon Dinner Recipe
My Secret Focaccia Addiction
Usually, my husband posts about our adventures in bread baking on this blog, and the science behind bread baking are much clearer to him. Nevertheless, we made this focaccia together, and somehow I was tasked to write a post about it. Focaccia bread, to me, is a thick, soft, herby, nutty bread with a light… Continue reading My Secret Focaccia Addiction
Blueberry Lemon Muffin Recipe
We do not have any Brioche Plum Tarts today. It wasn’t worth the effort of making brioche to give it away to a few coworkers, and I usually give the majority of my baked goods away. Instead, I offer you blueberry lemon muffins. I usually make muffins once a week to have one ready to… Continue reading Blueberry Lemon Muffin Recipe
Portobello Mushroom Burger Recipe
This house is not a vegetarian household. Meat is my favorite food, and I cannot imagine living without it. However, there are times when I don’t feel like eating meat, and there are times when I want something fresh, light, and vegetarian. Vegetarians, don’t get too excited. After a meal or two, I go back… Continue reading Portobello Mushroom Burger Recipe
Refreshing Hummus Recipe
Using this recipe, you can make hummus of various flavors. This hummus is something I make often and use for dipping as well as simple healthy sandwiches. I made a delicious sprout and hummus sandwich this time. Sounds exciting, doesn’t it? What are you waiting for? Grab some ingredients now! Despite not being cheesy, buttery,… Continue reading Refreshing Hummus Recipe
