It’s foodie Monday and I’m trying two new recipes today. One is a recipe for Coconut Macaroons. I’ve been craving these sweet, decadent treats for a while now. And, the other recipe is for a spicy crockpot chicken. I haven’t gotten to either, yet. So far today, I’ve been cleaning out more of my files…
We love donuts. Obviously, donuts are not good for you. They are tasty, though. Every time we have a chance to have donuts that are made in a specialty store or bakery, we take advantage of it. For a while, we had a Krispy Kream in our area. While it was fun to take our…
Last week, we had some really good meals. We ate grilled salmon with mustard and brown sugar glaze, beef tacos (not had in a great while), and a few other yummy dishes such as strip steaks. But, the topper was the pork carnitas. I had a weird hankering for these that I think was brought…
We had some delicious food on our trip to Maui – namely some delicious fresh fish which we knew we could find and enjoy. Mahi-mahi, salmon, and others were part of our fish tacos, fish and chips, and ahi-seared preparations. We also enjoyed fresh Maui Gold pineapple several times during the week, as well as…
Over the course of four trips to Hawaii, we’ve grown to understand how to eat while on Maui in a way that is affordable and right for our needs but still gives us a flavorful taste of the island. After the first trip, when we stayed in a hotel, we’ve moved to the condo route…
Recently, my husband found a recipe for homemade marinara sauce and meatballs. It is delicious and seems easy. He’s made it three times in the last month and was so delicious we had it for our Christmas Eve dinner. We might never have store-bought sauce again! The meatballs, made separately, are delicious as well and…
Somehow I’ve gotten in the habit of posting food or diet blogs on Mondays. They are generally well-received so I am keeping the tradition! This time of year, with many holidays celebrating many faiths, there is a lot of baking going on. Our home is no different. Today, however, I am going to share a…
Yesterday, I had a glass of store-bought apple cider. It was lackluster, watery, and devoid of the depth of flavor that can be in cider. I know this because we’ve made cider for many years, except this one. Our apple trees did not produce enough apples to even attempt the well-loved but time-consuming task of…
Eating at local establishments when on vacation has become a “thing” for my husband and me. I don’t know if it’s been caused by watching too many episodes of Triple D on the Food Network or being empty nesters but we have become more adventuresome in trying new places. When we arrived in Moab, Utah…
As you know, we’ve been traveling the American Southwest. During our travels, of course we’ve needed to eat. My husband and I like trying regional foods when we travel. This trip was no different. On our first night in Sedona, Arizona we went to an Argentinian restaurant specializing in grass fed beef dishes. Instead of…
