The photos that weren’t showing up in my last post… here they are! Boozy Fruit Filling… I cannot tell you how to start off the boozy fruit, but I’m sure you can find hundreds of postings online how to do it. My friends method took a few days start to finish, and there’s rules about…

Stuffed bell pepper trio with ground turkey, black rice, cilantro and bourbon
Yep that’s true. Whiskey in my stuffed peppers. Now being from the midwest, stuffed peppers is something I definitely recall growing up with. And it was considered a special dish, because, well, it took some time to make that dish happen. I’ve made stuffed peppers before and like to mix it up and try new…
Realistic everyday chicken for one or many- never boring and always juicy
With the buzz of Gwyneth Paltrow’s 1 bird 3 meals, I thought I’d simplify it down a bit assuming like most of us you are using those lovely packets of individual boneless, skinless breasts you buy at Costco or TJoes. And I’ll also confess that I had one experience I will never forget, making the dreaded…
When you don’t have a plan- sundried tomato lobster delivers
Last minute toss together. Seriously had no idea what I was going to cook after being at it all day working on a website and as I started to raid the kitchen, I remember I had bought (randomly) some langostino lobster tails while at Costco (you know how those things somehow get in your cart)….
Grilled Vegetables- it’s what’s left in the fridge
Grilled vegetables, it’s what’s left in the fridge. Tomatoes, squash, snap peas, onion, kale, peppers, potatoes in spanish olive oil, crushed red pepper, tjoes everything seasoning, sea salt and pepper. Fresh pretty and deliciously healthy. Great way to not let the veges go to waste and they held their flavor for over a week stored…
Happy St. Paddy’s day- sustain through the day w-o-lil green smoothie
Kicking this st pattys day off with a little-o-green kiwi mandarin smoothie! Unfortunately I also blew my “miracle” blender as I ironically took out a magic bullet out of my Costco cart yesterday- thinking “do I really need it”?
Mahi Mahi the caribbean way a little spice
Caribbean mandarin Mahi Mahi. Fish coated in a caribbean jerk rub (you can make this yourself) in olive oil, fresh chopped parsley and mandarin oranges popped in oven at 375 for about 15 min then flip sides for about 10 more (depends on your oven). Sauteed kale, a new fav of mine to experiment with….
Tabbouleh – chop chop chop
Freshness is key: lemon juice, parsley, mint, tomatoes, onion, pepper (I love pops of color), garlic, olive oil, s/p and of course couscous. I used combo of wheat and regular. Tiny chops are important and parsley tops only for best results (I have a chopper that makes this easier). Play with olive oil garlic and…
Adding flavor to boring turkey bacon
I grew up with a nice treat on Sundays – brown sugar bacon. TJoes turkey bacon is – well meaty- and actually doesn’t taste like bacon for a lot of reasons- it’s not. So to “spice it up” I cook (stovetop in pan) it up with a spread of brown sugar and then some caliente…
Stew on it- mediterranean chicken stew
Dinner for 4 or more… healthy and tasty. #Mediterranean #chicken #stew in process for tonites gathering. 3 cooked cubed chicken breast (see my previous posting on cooking perfect chicken breasts-I marinated these in o/o, lemon pepper), eggplant, artichoke hearts (+ juice from jar), 4 cups of chicken broth, some cooking wine, kalamata olives (+ a…
