MIXED BERRY COBBLER!!

Health experts tell us we should eat the colors of the rainbow for good health. These deep dark berries are beyond amazing all by themselves, but when you toss them in a casserole dish and top them with a little somethin’-somethin’ they become ✨magic✨! I try to keep portions small, this is a teeny bowl ;)
Continue reading “MIXED BERRY COBBLER!!”Yet another bowl of tasty goodness!
Bowls are popular. They can be quick (oh so quick!), healthy (well, as healthy as you make them) and so darn good! It’s nice to take a day and prepare some veggies for the week, then just a quick heat up of the ingredients that sound good to you at the time and *BAM* Dinner. Is. Ready! #woohoo
Continue reading “Yet another bowl of tasty goodness!”Unfried Fried Rice with Shrimp!
Well, this was an unexpected treasure to find! I’ve been hooked on making meals with brown rice, sautéed kale, some sort of bean or pea and usually and egg. Next pass I will make this with an egg (scrambled) and some green onions sprinkled… it’s quick (especially if you sauté a batch of kale early in the week then use it throughout the week).

These are actually called Christmas Butter Cookies – my family pulled the recipe out of a magazine back in the way back in the 1960’s and we’ve made them ever since. Five stars! Not only are they so tasty, but they are so much fun to make and especially to decorate. I can remember good times decorating one at a time (like tinsel on a tree, one piece at a time)… #whorememberstinsel?

Warm and comforting – that’s what a bowl of oatmeal is to me. After Thanksgiving I wanted light food – Thanksgiving dinner (and leftovers) was nice but I need to get back on track. Oatmeal – the perfect food!

How many of you stayed home for thanksgiving and cooked? Did you have the standard Thanksgiving fare, or did you think outside the box and try something different? Traditional is the route we took and it was too good!

Okra. I don’t think I even heard of it until I moved to Charleston 30+ years ago. I tried it once. Slimy. Hmmm. Not awful tasting, but the consistency isn’t what I would prefer. I found that if you roast it you #skiptheslime Woohoo!

Wow! This is so much better than it sounds, trust me! We used to get a tuna melt at a restaurant (they stopped carrying it) – it came with slaw that had a sesame taste to it… it was delicious, and it was HUGE, we would usually split it along with a salad. We have been eating at home since early March because of Covid19. We did pick up some carryout for my birthday last week and it was fabulous. I’m trying to think of things to make that are different – I can get stuck in a rut recipe-wise. THIS IS AMAZING!

Oooh! Making BBQ sauce is SO worth your time. It doesn’t take long and your house will smell divine while it’s cooking! I divide it into 1/4 or 1/3 cup increments and put in freezer bags! That works well for 2 chicken breasts.
