These muffins are out of this world. The peanut butter and dark chocolate are just amazing together but you know that already! These muffins, however, are a little bit especial because I used a nutritional supplement called Vi Shake Mix to include in the breakfast muffin batter. But you may ask, what is Vi Shake [...]
OK so I know this is not food related but once in a blue moon you will see me posting something not food related if I think it is worth sharing. I believe this post will benefit a lot of my readers so I thought to share it! This is one out of several DIY [...]
This recipe has become one of our ultimate favorite meals lately. For me it’s just perfect because it takes hardly any time to put together, it is an extremely versatile dish and it is super yummy. Not long ago I started making my own Teriyaki sauce and since then I think I might have done [...]
I simply love pasta. If I could have pasta every day I would. I love my carbs and pasta is a perfect way to get my carbs, the whole wheat pasta kind though. Who ever said that carbs are bad, doesn’t have a clue what they are talking about. Carbs get a bad wrap for [...]
This was my sweet treat for mother’s day and while I made it myself it was all good, my kids and husband took care of some other things, like massaging mommy for 45 minutes. It was really sweet. You can make this icebox cake with raspberries if you like as well. I sort of got [...]
Have you ever tried to pop your corn in a brown bag in the microwave? Well if you haven’t you really should. Those prepacked boxes they have at the supermarket with hundreds of weird flavors and ingredients are not only a waste of your money but a waste of your time. I don’t know when [...]
This is the easiest jam you will ever make. No need to reduce, cook or put over the flame at all. If you have literally 2 minutes, you will be done with the insanely good jam to enjoy for days to come. Another good thing about this recipe? You only need three ingredients. I used [...]
Who doesn’t like anything Teriyaki? I don’t know of any one that doesn’t. Even though I love anything Teriyaki, I have not bought it in for ever just because I haven’t found one that is made with just basic ingredients and making it really didn’t cross my mind until recently. Oh boy, what was I [...]
I have been baking a lot lately, and I mean a lot. On Friday I baked 5 hours straight. I don’t know how many cookies and cupcakes I baked but there were all over my kitchen! Not that I mind because I was lucky enough to make some money…hehe. Ok onto the muffins now…These muffins [...]
I haven’t used kale for a while but the past week I kind of went on a kale obsession. I have actually made another version of this but used extra firm tofu instead of potatoes. It was also very good so I will post that recipe perhaps in a week or so. I have a [...]
Who doesn’t like chocolate? I hope no one is on a diet because if you are you are truly missing out! Besides diets don’t work so I hope you do yourself a favor and get off of it :-) I have never met anyone that doesn’t like chocolate. I think it is actually a weird [...]
Plain and simple, these are going to be the best gluten free brownies you will ever taste. Do you have a favorite gluten free brownie recipe already? I will bet you any money this is going to top your recipe hands down. Even my brother that never eats any of my baking goods ate 3 [...]
Thai food is one of my favorite types of food. If I had to choose to eat just one type of food, Thai food would be it. I can eat Thai food every day all day if I could. When I entertain I normally tend to make Asian dishes because of how fast and convenient [...]
What can I say about these sensational oven fries? Not much. The only thing I can say to you is, do yourself a favor, and make them NOW!! I think the combination is just spectacular. Who wouldn’t want to eat them right? I actually made a minor mistake and got any organic potatoes I could [...]
Let’s start by saying that I was extremely skeptical about making and trying this. I mean, I have had Chia seeds before in plenty of things but not by themselves. While making this, I even thought of mixing in some rolled oats because I thought I might not like it. I am glad I didn’t [...]
I am venturing in making quite a few new recipes lately. Prime example? This amazing no bake Samoa bars. I guess these can be a modification of the well known Samoa cookies, that to be honest, I have no idea what they are! Seeing how good they looked and the ingredient list was enough for [...]
I have just made these muffins the other day and lasted just that one day. The minute they came out of the oven I ate three myself, not good but I couldn’t resist. Granted they may not look too good because my nutella was kind of hard and it sank to the bottom in some [...]
Sangria anyone? I have not made sangria in for ever, and having a white version I though it would be cool, after all Moscato wine is my favorite wine in the world and having a sangria version to include it would be just perfect. For those people that are not familiar with this type of [...]

What can I say about this salsa. This roasted pepper salsa can be put together in a flash, it is just superb and it goes with chips, nachos, crackers, pita bread, you name it.The only thing you need for this salsa is a food processor. Just place, all the ingredients in it a pulse for about 30 seconds.I have made this roasted pepper salsa twice in a week and the second time around I actually double

I was kind of looking forward to trying it and perhaps order one for myself as well, however, after trying it, I was really disappointed.I mean, how much sugar did this green tea latte have? It was not drinkable at all. We had to go home and dilute the thing with more milk and by then the green tea

What a week this has been. Crazy doesn't begin to describe it and on top of it we got this crazy snow storm, NEMO, that actually got us bad. Well I guess not as bad as other places but never the less bad!!Anyhow, through out these few days I have baked these peanut butter cookies, which were a saver for us. I really like the filling of a warm peanut butter cookie and a glass of milk when cold outs
I have been experimenting with smoothies lately and getting more creative. I want to try other flavors and ingredients so stay tuned for new ones to come.This beet smoothie is a prime example. I did too use beets for another smoothie not long ago and we really liked it. I think the ginger in that one was what made the smoothie over the top.This beet smoothie version is good too but I think it rese

Lately, I find myself cooking quite a bit of chicken dishes. My family is thrilled, as they love any type of chicken there is. Personally, I enjoy eating fish much better but because this dish has been in my to do list for at least a year, I figured it was time to make it. It was also perfect timing since I have recently bought some Hungarian paprika :-)This chicken paprikash is quite simple. It c
I am not a big meat or poultry eater but once in a while I will whip some dishes with meat or chicken to keep my family satisfied. They quite complaint about me not cooking enough with them, well sorry, I am just not a big meat or poultry eater, and since I am the one that does the cooking, well, that is just the way is going to be!These meat balls are quite simple to make. For the beef mixture, t
Zucchini fries anyone? I just love these. They are so easy to make and so yummy!!They might be a bit messy to put them together with the dipping of the egg and panko breadcrumbs but nothing anyone can't handle. We actually have these with sweet and sour chili sauce and they are perfect. My kids love them, although they will take them with ketchup :-)Super bowl is just around the corner and having
I love, love, love ginger. If I could have it intravenously I would, no joke!!It is quite surprising that I don't have more ginger recipes in the blog or that I don't have a category just for ginger...maybe I will some day.If you like ginger, look no further, this is your smoothie. I thought not only this smoothie tasted superb but the properties ginger has, made this drink top on my list so for t
I haven't quite made anything like this before as I was not exposed to it until last week. I have never had Moroccan chicken before.My best friend actually had some girlfriends for dinner last week and this is what she served. It was a huge hit and everyone requested the recipe.When I got home, the next day, I gathered the ingredients, well the chicken and eggplant pretty much, as all of the other
I have been making this all winter and I love it. Since flu and cold season seems to be on full swing, I figured I post this. It has helped me not to get sick, so I thought it may help you too!I pretty much take it when a member of my family starts getting sick, or when I feel I am getting sick myself.The properties of the vinegar, ginger, cayenne and honey are superb so it doesn't hurt to take
Today I am guest posting these superb cranberry and white chocolate whole wheat cookies for my friend Mimi at Culinary Couture. It is actually my first time guest posting but I don't think it will be the last. If you want the recipe just go on over to Culinary Couture and check her blog out! What can I say about these cookies but that they are just super good.I actually used my recipe from the&nbs
Smoothies are very regular at my household. My kids love them and these always pack a lot of nutrition.I normally add some sort of veggies to them like fresh spinach, kale etc but this time around I didn't. What I also do very often is freeze these. The kids love them and they actually think they are eating some sort of a treat. It is a win win for me and them :-)Here I have added a few of the oth
Wow, back to back chicken recipes. Just a brake from so many sweet treats because December was pretty much full of them.Now this soup is just out of this world. I must worn you though, it will not taste the same if you don't use the sherry in the recipe. This is actually what gives the amazing flavor to this soup.The recipe was handed down by my best friend that tweaked it as she got inspire
The only thing I can say about this chicken is, WOW.This is a very popular way Spanish people fix their chicken. It is rather simple and extremely flavorful. Parsley, garlic and white wine are widely used in Spanish cooking. These flavors work really good together, trust me on this!Lately I find myself making more simple and fast meals. I mean, I actually do in a regular basis, but now that I am m
This cake is a variation from my honey apple upside cake I made a while back. I have always wanted to try a cranberry version and since I love cranberries and they are actually in season I thought to experiment with them and see if I could actually come up with a cranberry upside down version cake.I am so glad I did, because we really enjoyed this cake. I actually don't know which version I l
