Italian Guacamole
I really didn’t know what to call this concoction. It was born out of a craving for a BLT, only there wasn’t any ‘L’ in my house for a BLT. Okay, so I’ll have a BAT, no not a blood alcohol test (I’d probably fail that one). I mean Bacon, Avocado, Tomato. Are you […]
Chicken and Kale Chili–Secret Recipe Club Reveal
I am so excited for this month’s Secret Recipe Club reveal, the first one of 2013! If you haven’t heard of this great ‘secret santa’ type group, you should check out their site. Gurl, you wouldn’t believe who’s blog I got this month. That’s right it was steaknpotatoeskindagurl. Not surprisingly, the first recipes I sought […]
Deconstructed Pesto Insalata Caprese
Say what? Are my eyes really seeing what they see? Does that sign say ‘Heirloom Tomatoes’? It’s the middle of winter…must be a mistake. But they look like heirloom tomatoes. They have variegated colors and bumpy exteriors, they must be heirlooms. Imported from Mexico….ahhh, that’s right, not every place in the world right now has […]
Pistachio Semifreddo – two ways
Here I go again, non-main line posting. This time of year food blogs and sites, newspapers and magazines are filling their pages with healthier recipes. Who doesn’t want to lose weight? And the New Year is the perfect opportunity to reset, especially with all the holiday treats consumed, given away or ditched. And I’m posting […]
Candied Orange Olive Oil Cake
Today is the close of 2012 and with the New Year all the hopes and wishes of doing things a wee bit better than the previous year. Today, no reflective post, no top 10 of 2012 anything. Just wishing you all the bestest and sharing a crazy sweet lil’ post for you. Crazy good, crazy, […]
An Ode to Our Christmas Tree
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, what a story you tell. Tall and green, glowing glory, crowned atop with an angel. Decked with ornaments, current and past. Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, what a story you tell. One year I went out and bought giant department store style ornaments, ribbons and other trim […]
5-Minute Fudge
Not a one, not a single Christmas treat have I posted. This year my men are on these high protein low carb diets. McGyver for health reasons and the Baby boy because of Rugby (strict orders from his coach). I decided not to bake cookies or anything too tempting, gotta show my support (and I […]
Food Photo Tips from a Buffalo Blue Elk Burger
Look at that, don’t you just want to take a bite out of that big juicy burger? Although I think that the burger looks appetizing I made some errors in photographing it. That’s what happens when you are a starvin marvin and want to snap the shot and get on with eating. It’s a fabulous […]
TKW’s Cobb Salad
It seems like everyone has a dish that they judge a restaurant by. For some it’s hamburgers, or steaks or seafood and in the case of my son-in-law Jodus daughter Leah, it’s the Cobb Salad (evidently my memory is going faster than I thought, my daughter corrected me, she’s the one that judges by it…see […]
Cream of Mushroom and Turkey Soup
It’s one week after Thanksgiving, how are you doing on your leftovers? Have you gobbled them all up, did you stash some in the freezer for later? This year there was only three of us and the smallest organic fresh turkey I could buy was nearly 14 pounds. That’s a lot of turkey for 3 […]
