This recipe is another result of my raid through Mom’s copies of Family Circle:
You can find the recipe online here. It’s a solid recipe, but I wasn’t WOWed by it. I will make it again, but with some changes. First – I needed more kick, and therefore more red pepper flakes are in order. Red [...]

I visited my mom recently, and dug through her copies of Family Circle and pulled out all the recipes I want to try. Roasted Cauliflower Soup sounded really awesome, and is very low cal.
I made it last night, and it was pretty delicious. The cauliflower was roasted with onion and garlic, and picked up a [...]

So you’ve got a cheap-o pack of Cajun 16-Bean Soup mix….but, not to knock the mix, but you wanna jazz it up.

Turkey Smoked Sausage
1 can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
One Sweet Potato, diced
One Onion, Diced
One Green Bell Pepper, diced
garlic
Do you have your own way of jazzing [...]

We planted three tomato plants this year: cherry tomatoes (aka “baby tomatoes”), beefsteak tomatoes, and Mr. Stripey. And last Saturday we finally dined on BLT’s. I live for tomato sandwiches, so this time of year makes the heat all worthwhile. [...]

I tried this recipe for zucchini pie (via Half-Assed Kitchen) tonight, and it was that wonderful combination of easy and tasty. I only made a couple of changes. I forgot to spread the dijon on the crust (oops – but I learned that the dijon is optional, so if you don’t like dijon, it’s cool). [...]

I love roasted chicken. So good. Crispy, succulent skin that is so bad for you. The fact that it’s so much cheaper per pound, making it muy muy budget friendly.
I typically stuff my roasted chicken with lemon and butter, and season with salt, pepper, garlic,coriander, and more butter dabbed on the top (and lemon slices [...]
