Oh Chili, Our Chili

No photos. There’s no time, sorry, maybe I’ll try for later when it’s actually done. I’m hoping for leftovers. Guesstimating the amounts below because we—hubby and I—just got happy with putting ingredients in the crock pot. 1 very large sweet onion, diced half a head of garlic, finely minced 1 tbs. olive oil PLUS an [...]

Bread Pudding With Decadence

I don’t feel well at all today. Neither did the half loaf of french bread in the pantry. I feel all flu-y and the bread felt like a brick. Finally! That was my cue to indulge just a little. I had a recipe for bread pudding that was all healthy and stuff. Well, it had [...]

Lasagna

I hadn’t made this in a while and I was really glad I got some veggies in without the boys complaining. It’s all about the sauce! Hehe. Saute: 1 pkg. ground turkey 1 sweet onion (it was all I had, I’d use regular yellow onion next time) 5 or 6 or a dozen cloves of [...]

Must Love Mushrooms Soup

I know it’s not freezing like some places in the US are right now, but it’s nippy (and windy) enough to make me want to eat soup. The other day I was really craving some for lunch and fortunately I had a large dub of dried mushrooms. YES. First, take about 3/4 to nigh 1 [...]

POP! Paarti

So a dear friend from church, JC, shared this video with me. She made Aarti’s popcorn and brought some to church last Wednesday. My, if I didn’t have manners I would have eaten the WHOLE bowl. You think I’m kidding, don’t you? Silly. Perfect day to share this with you: my daddy used to pop [...]

Scallops

scallops Originally uploaded by Phisch Yes, this was dinner last night. It. Was. AMAZING. My hubby has gotten pretty good at wielding a pair of tongs and working his barbecue. You don’t want me to tell you what it was like because it was too yummy. But I will anyway. The corn, red onion and [...]

Gee, Thanks, Karen.

So my sister sent me the link to the Philippine episode of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations. I used to watch that show, why did I stop?
