A couple weeks ago I received an email from Gold’n Plump asking me if I’d be interested in trying their new line of chicken sausages. I don’t typically buy Gold’n Plump products, so I didn’t really know anything about the company. I was surprised to learn that they are based out of St. Cloud, Minnesota–just a few … Continue reading »
In order to make this: I had to make this: It’s no secret that I love pesto. You could blend pretty much anything together and call it a pesto…and I’ll be in line to try it! I wanted to make a spicy chicken sausage pizza with the new Gold’n Plump Hot Italian Chicken Sausages (which … Continue reading »
**This recipe made the Foodbuzz Top 9 today! Thanks to everyone who enjoyed it enough to click BUZZ!** At the end of my last post I mentioned that you had these to look forward to: I threw a baby shower for my friend, Summer–who is expecting a little girl–and I wanted some of the desserts … Continue reading »
I’ve been super busy the past few days. I’m planning a baby-shower for my friend–Summer–for this Saturday, so I’ve been menu planning, shopping and crafting. I’ve also been occupied with my little gardens–which are finally almost completed! It was super-sunny outside, but I tried to click a few photos… I decided to plant my tomatoes … Continue reading »
I absolutely love Indian biryani. It’s such a beautiful and comforting dish that is reminiscent of the rice hot-dishes (or casseroles…for all you non-Minnesotans out there) that I grew up eating as a kid–only a million times better! (sorry, Mom!). Biryani is simply basmati rice cooked with spices and meats (and/or vegetables). There are … Continue reading »
It’s no secret that I love chèvre (goat cheese). I’m always looking for ways to sneak goat cheese into my recipes…whether it be in a salad, a sauce or a soup. It’s even the “secret” ingredient to my mashed potatoes. Yum! The other night I was trying to decide what to make for supper. I didn’t … Continue reading »
This past weekend was pretty dreary. It was cold, rainy and quite boring…actually. Piyush and I had intended on going somewhere fun for our anniversary; but because of the weather, we changed our plans and decided to stay home. Our actual anniversary is Wednesday–May 9. Three years have just flown by! So instead…Piyush did a … Continue reading »
These bars are nothing short of perfection. They’re incredibly easy to make and take nearly no time; but the result is a light-tasting cookie (well, it’s technically a bar) that has just the right level of sweetness. I baked these last week for my co-workers to enjoy…and enjoy they did! They were gone in no … Continue reading »
Across the United States, everyone has their favorite version of Chili–a thick stew made with peppers, beans, meat, tomatoes, and spices. I grew up eating my Mom’s version of chili (which I have to say may be the best…). Her’s included tomato sauce, pork and beans, lots of beef and absolutely no chunky vegetables. Man, it’s … Continue reading »
I love lamb. Although we don’t eat it often, it probably is my favorite meat–if it’s cooked right. Lamb is one of those meats that can be a little tricky to cook. Sure, you can toss it in a pressure cooker and cook it that way…but I just don’t think the taste is the same. … Continue reading »
