Wrapping Up The Cookie Platter

January 19, 2007

I wrapped up tonight by baking the last cookies for the tray. I didn’t make all the kinds I wanted, but I was sleepy and have dish pan hands from washing so many dishes this week. So, tonight was macaroons and Oreo truffle night. These particular macaroons are one of the easiest recipes! This recipe […]

Sundried Tomatoes

January 18, 2007

I love sundried tomatoes. However, I prefer them when they are not packed in oil. I look at the oil and feel arteries clogging (tasty by clogging). Luckily, The Dekalb Farmer’s Market – one of my favorite places to go – has dried sundried tomatoes. And, you get a lot for a little cost. The […]

Roasted Red Pepper Wrap and Apple Pie Dessert

January 16, 2007

Gustoso! Tasty! I love red peppers….particularly roasted red peppers. My mom used to roast a ton on the grill at one time, but I never feel like lighting up the whole mechanical monstrosity for my couple of peppers. Instead, I broil them and the peppers taste just as yummy – to me anyway. Some people […]

Biscotti Regina

January 15, 2007

I am probably one of the few people who do not watch the HBO drama, The Sopranos. Personally, I find it over the top and revoltingly over stereotypical of Italians. However, the Sopranos Family Cookbook is one of my favorite culinary compilations. It has the recipes I know of as the “old country” dinners, the […]

Tilapia and Mixed Pepper Entree with Italian Cheesecake Dessert

January 14, 2007

I am making a conscious effort to eat healthy and cook on a more regular basis. The problem is….my body tends to be a bit finicky with the proteins it agrees with. So, when my mother told me about Tilapia and the various ways it could be prepared, I tried it…and now I am hooked! […]

Sweet Potato Soup

January 14, 2007

In light of my many dental/teeth issues, I have found it extremely challenging to eat anything that makes it necessary for me to chew. In fact, my colleagues at work simply refer to me as smoothie girl. (hmmm…maybe I should invest….) Just when I thought I may be in the clear, the Johnny’s pizza I […]
