Golden Fried Mushrooms

My husband love fried mushrooms and can easily consume an entire package of mushrooms that are fired if they are good. This is a really good recipe that is very simple and quick. I was able to throw these together in just a matter of minutes. I love that all the ingredients are things that I normally keep on hand anyway. Ingredients: 10 ounces fresh white...

California Vegetable Pancakes

I was in the mood for German Potato Pancakes but I didn’t have enough potatoes to make the pancakes plus those are a ton of work and I had no desire to work that hard. I decided to replace the potatoes with a bag of California mix frozen bagged vegetables. This recipe turned out delicious. We all absolutely love these pancakes. They have the same texture as potatoes...

Wordless Wednesday - Easter Table

I was telling Alison from Under the Big Oak Tree how I really wanted to decorate the dining room table for Easter, but I didn’t have the energy or really the time to dig everything out of the closet to find it all. I decided I couldn’t stand the table not having anything on it for Easter. The last time I was in the grocery store I decided to pick up some candy...

Farro With Mushrooms

I found this recipe online and with all the ingredients on hand I decided to give it a try. I wasn’t sure I was going to like it by the smell when it was cooking, then again I didn't know much about farro so I wasn't sure how it was going to smell. I must say the directions are very overwhelming. I posted the directions below just as they appeared in the New...

Caesar Tortillini Salad

My husband loves pasta salads so anytime I find a quick and easy pasta salad recipe I give it a try. I once tried one in a box and after a horrible experience with it I knew homemade was the only way for the pasta salads. This recipe is so very easy and makes a great presentation. The directions couldn’t be any easier and would be lovely for a nice summer dinner or...

Avocado Mozzarella Salad

This is a wonderful cool salad to is amazing on a hot summer day. I personally like it anytime, but that’s a personal preference. I know it’s not easy for a lot of parts of the country to find avocados right now so this maybe a recipe to set aside for summer. It can’t be any easier to make and it goes a long way. Deliciously simple. Ingredients: 1 large...

Roasted Poblano Corn Chowder (Vegetarian)

This is a wonderful recipe full of flavor and heat! Wow it’s spicy considering there are no spices in it. The peppers pack a mean punch especially if you don’t remove the ribs. I chose not to do that and lived to regret it. Wow smokin’ hot! I have purchased poblanos before that were not hot at all …these on the other hand were very hot. We loved this recipe because...

Frozen Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate

I love Abuelita’s hot chocolate mix. I don’t need a special occasion to have a major craving for it. As summer starts approaching here in the south the last thing my mind is “hot” chocolate. I want cold and colder if you can get it. By combing the desire for hot chocolate and the desire for something incredibly cold you come up with frozen hot chocolate! Frozen hot...

Morning Sunshine Smoothie

I love smoothies and make them on a daily bases sometimes more than one per day. I am always trying to come up with delicious combinations that are healthy and delicious. They are very filling and can be very healthy assuming you don’t put a lot of junk in them. It’s so easy to make a smoothie that ends up being unhealthy and loaded full of calories. I like...

Zesty Meatless Spaghetti Sauce

In search for a meatless spaghetti sauce I came across this delicious pot of yumminess. This is a fantastic sauce. I wasn’t sure if I would like it or not because I grew up on sauce with ground beef in it. It’s hard to change your ways if you know what I mean. The only time I have ever had any spaghetti sauce without meat came from a jar on the grocery store shelf. I...
