Mission Burrito

Sometimes you're out and you need more than a sandwich. Sometimes you need something really filling and substantial, that's also not loaded with calories or dripping in fat. And I found it, the other day at Reading's Riverside: Mission Burrito. The restaurant is located near the entrance to the Oracle shopping centre; conveniently, some might say, next door to Krispy Kreme. Inside, h

New Diabetic charts to make meal planning easier

Everytime I think I have found some new and improved Diabetic literature I anxiously download or order it only to be more confused then I was before.I think there are all of 2 sites that have creative recipes planned around the Diabetic Exchange Plan but if you have not consulted a Nutritionist, making one on your own is sort of like buying skis and heading to the Expert Slope without ever taking

Sherried Mushroom Empanadas

This recipe came from one of my old Gourmet magazines as part of a tapas buffet.  I couldn't wait for a party to try them so I served them last night as a light meal with a salad on the side. ... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Biryani, biriani, or beriani is a set of rice-based foods made with spices, rice (usually basmati) and meat, fish, eggs or vegetables. The name is derived from the Persian word berya(n) which means "fried" or "roasted".Biryani was originated in Iran (Persia) and it was brought to South Asia by Iranian travelers and merchants. Local variants of this dish are popular not only in South Asia but also

Cauliflower Crust Pizza

I don't remember what I was searching for when I stumbled upon a recipe for pizza made with a cauliflower crust, but I'm glad I found it. I really enjoyed it and my 4 year old didn't seem to notice that it wasn't made of real pizza dough. She wasn't crazy about the bruschetta topping I put on, but she did eat the olives and the crust. I put the olives on just for her. The instructions for this

Mint Brownies

Mint is one of those flavors that goes perfect with chocolate. It. Just. Does. I made these Mint Brownies for a friend who wanted to order treats for my 9-year-old's fundraiser for a local animal rescue (The Utah Animal Adoption Center), but didn't want the cupcakes or jumbo cookies we were selling. Guess she thought she could sweet-talk me into something special. She was right, or course, since s

Applesauce Spice Cakes

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This simple recipe makes one of the best applesauce cakes I've ever tasted. The cake was originally featured on Food52 where it was drizzled with a caramel glaze. I prefer to serve it with a butter cream icing or, better still, warm and naked from the oven with a scoop of good ice cream. Because there are usually just two of us to enjoy a cake like this, I

Church Supper #24

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend, and their Sunday thus far. We are on quarantine lock down this weekend. Alex has been fighting a cold/cough all week and finally spiked a fever the other night. So I put my Monkey in his pjs and he's been camped out on the couch all weekend taking it easy. (Well, we did decorate some cookies yesterday as a "sick treat", and I let him off the couch for tha

tequila and lime turkey chili

OK everyone, put on your game hat and pull out the tequila ’cause it’s game time! What could possibly be better fare for the Superbowl than this tequila and lime turkey chili? It’s hearty, it’s meaty, it’s easy, it’s boozy, and it is Deeelicious with a capital D (and some extra “e”s apparently). I found [...]

Sweet ‘N Soy Seared Tuna with Broiled Cana de Cabra and Ginger Dressed Greens

It has been some couple of weeks – as in, chock full o’ unfamiliar happenings.  And Clayton and I are nothing if not creatures of habit – so said happenings have really thrown us into disarray.  But my arm has healed and is fully functional again, the particular challenges of study card week (my Harvard [...]

Lime and Poblano Marinated Fried Chicken Wings

Super Bowl Sunday is like a lot of other Sundays in our house, since I do not follow the game. However, I do love the idea of getting or going to someone’s how with the excuse to cook up my favorite kind of food – the savory snacking kind! If you want to make that [...]

Apricot Bread Pudding

I recently had the good fortune to have a whole bunch of brioche bread that didn't get eaten before it went stale . . . you might be asking yourself, why on earth would that be considered fortunate??I mean, brioche is so rich and moist and delicious, surely one would want to eat it when it was at it's best !!!And yes . . . we do . . . but . . .I also happen to know that as scrummy as brioche i

Albondigas (Mexican Meatball) Soup

We were supposed to go to our friends house for a potluck dinner last weekend. Then there was an ice storm, and the dog was ill and didn’t eat for days.  The dog also injured her spine and had much difficulty sitting and walking.  Plus I was had a rumbly tummy on Friday night, and [...]

Greek Quesadilla with Lime Tzatziki Sauce

Oxymoron, much? Of course, quesadillas aren’t Greek, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be made Greek-style. How to do this? Pita bread instead of tortillas, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, spinach, oregano, and a tzatziki sauce for dipping in lieu of sour cream. Tzatziki sauce is traditionally made with plain Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, [...]

Buffalo Chicken Wontons

This is one of my favorite appetizer recipes! I know the super bowl is right around the corner and this is perfect if you plan on having a party.  It’s the flavor you love from buffalo wings, but not as messy.

Apple-Blackberry Cake

We really enjoyed this cake.  It wasn’t too sweet, the apples and blackberries are a great combo, and the crispy sugar crust was one of our favorite parts.  The other perk, aside from it being delicious, is that it is really easy to make.  You don’t have to worry about your [...]

Coconut Butter Bars

These look more difficult to make than they really are. The recipe was from Gourmet Magazine (December 1993). Oh, the 90's. They don't even seem that long ago but the recipe was printed almost 20 years ago! Wow, I sound old... reminiscing about days gone by and I'm only 27! They are a traditional recipe that was once known as "London Bars" although I'm not sure why.Not only are they easy to make,

All Good Things St. Louis: RUE LAFAYETTE

Back from the holidays, the months of November and December just flew by.  Both months greeted me with a lot of warm hugs and hellos with family reunions and celebrations, kids coming home from college and out of town vacations. I felt like I danced with different rhythms of life and loved it.   January is almost over and all of a sudden the music changed into a slower rhythm.  Slo

A simple salad

If you’ve been to my blog before you are familiar with my celebrations of simplicity. Simple, fresh ingredients are usually all you need to make things taste delicious and look beautiful. One of the simplest dishes that I make often are salads – all kinds, whether they consist of many ingredients or just two, have roasted vegetables or fresh and crunchy ones. I love my salads.**

Sweets for All of Our Sweets! Thanks to #EqualCanada

Most Valentine's Day gifts are full of sugar and unfortunately some of Chelsea's grandparents are diabetic.  Wanting to be fair, we ran off to Walmart to get supplies for both her Valentines

Root Beer Pulled Pork (For New Yorkers Only)

Although I have been wanting to try a Root Beer Pulled Pork since I first ran across it, I wasn't really planning on posting it.  It's one of those things like Cake Pops, Macarons, etc. that seem to be everywhere you turn, so why would anyone want to see it again?  That's why this is for New Yorkers only - not to thumb my nose at the rest of you, but my recipe involves a sauce that I'm p
