Creamy Southwest Chicken

23 Apr

This is a quick and easy recipe for those who are looking for low carb menu options. I found it when browsing my original search for low carb diets. It is one of the many great recipes published by Laura Dolson on About.com. Find the recipe here. It takes about 20 mins from start to serving [...]

Paleo Chicken Cordon Blue

18 Apr

I am loving my new menus with low carb options, but there are a few things I miss. Crunchy breaded dinners are one. On a whim I decided to make Chicken Cordon Blue. I’ve mentioned many times how much I love the cookbook “Paleo Comfort Foods”. One of my “go to” recipes is the “Fried [...]

Split Pea Soup

11 Apr

Easter was awesome. I am trying very hard to get all the chocolate out of my house, unfortunately, most of it is ending up in my mouth! It’s been a week of leftovers. My Mother prepared our family traditional Pineapple Glazed Ham. I was amazed to see she was about to throw away the bone (she NEVER [...]

A protein packed Paleo treat!

Bacon Kale Quiche

18 Mar

I’ve been making “quiche surprise” every week. It consists of whatever veggies are leftover at the end of the week. This week, it was bacon and kale. Bacon Kale Quiche: 1 bunch kale (pieces) 6 strips of cooked bacon (chopped) 1 small onion (chopped) 1 cup sharp cheddar (I use Cabot) 8 eggs 1 cup [...]

Campfire Cooking – Spoon Bread

9 Mar

As I mentioned in my last post, last year we purchased the Camp Cooking cookbook by The National Museum of Forest Service History. As a side dish to compliment our Campfire Yum-bo, my hubby decided to try the Spoon Bread recipe (on page 27 of Camp Cooking) in our dutch oven. This was the hubby’s first campfire [...]

In the Kitchen

26 Feb

I love Sundays. Moreover, I love Sunday breakfast. I always feel like a little more effort should go into food on Sundays. It’s time spent in the kitchen with family. We have had a blustery weekend thus far. This morning the wind woke up Griff, who in turn, woke us up. After a long stretch [...]

Yarn Along

23 Feb

Better late than never, I always say… Knitting: This is a better picture of the lovely yarn I used in {this moment} from last week. Many of you were interested in knowing more, so here’s the more! This is still a hard representation of the color. It’s a bit more red and has a sheen [...]

Cupcake Cuteness

21 Feb

Inspired by this cupcake by Claire Wise, I decorated some cupcakes to take to our Tae Kwon Do Valentine’s Day party. Although new at confection creativeness, I took a stab at decorating them as beautifully as she did. They are super cute, but I need practice with decorating with icing. I baked and decorated four dozen for [...]

Chili Cheddar Frittata

20 Feb

I usually consider a fritatta to have bread. This one is a breadless firttata with a fresh twist. Found in the “Rest of Bridge” volume two, this recipe says the smell will get everyone out of bed, I say just mixing the ingredients will! The aroma of fresh basil, sundried tomatoes and green chiles waft out of the mixing bowl [...]
