Yeah...it's a mouthful I know. It still sounded better than Spinach Dip Chicken...and well that doesn't even let you know there's artichokes in there. I saw this recipe from Emily Bites and immediately thought, "Add more cheese and pasta and voila!" Cause you can't have enough cheese and pasta in your life. And, well, I needed some way to use up the rest of the Romano blend I purchased for my cheese trials. Which reminds me, I need to check my email to see what's left to do that on the … [Read more...]

Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken – Recipe Review
I'm not sure how I got the idea of Buffalo chicken sliders in my head, but that's the reason for me trying this recipe. I mean, I LOVE Frank's wing sauce, so it's only logical that I should LOVE this recipe. I didn't... I don't think it's the fault of the recipe. I'm sure hundreds of pins couldn't be wrong on this one. I think I failed in the ratio of wing sauce to chicken. I must preface this by telling you that I RARELY if EVAH use salt in my cooking. I'm one of those … [Read more...]
Spicy New Orleans Barbeque Shrimp Recipe for Mardi Gras
I LITERALLY wanted to face plant in the pan of these Spicy New Orleans Barbeque Shrimp Recipe for Mardi Gras shrimp and eat every bit of smoky, spicy goodness. Oh...WE WILL be making these again.

Sun-Dried Tomato Turkey Meatballs – A Recipe Adaptation
My first blog post and recipe not based on a review of a Cooking Light or other recipe. These Sun-Dried Tomato Turkey Meatballs are packed with flavor and very healthy for your family to devour any time they want. I saw these...and they were drool worthy.

I made my own version of the Sun-Dried Tomato Turkey Meatballs. So, … [Read more...]
Have you lost your cheese?
So, I took this online survey about cheese. I was truly hoping to just get a sample of cheese for free in the mail. Well....I'm not sure if that's going to happen or not. Anyway, they called me and asked if I'd be willing to participate in a cheese research thingy. She didn't actually SAY thingy, but I've slept since then and can't remember WHAT she called it. I received a log in to the research website this week and it truly is ALL about cheese. What brands do you … [Read more...]
Low Fat Chocolate Cheesecake
I...have a confession to make. *wrings hands* I'm not quite sure how to tell y'all this but. *sigh* I AM AN ANIMAL MURDERER! There! I said it! It's out in the open. I have killed dozens of animals! No, I don't know how I sleep at night or how I can live with myself. I killed dozens of animals just making this cheesecake alone! *giggles* Animal CRACKERS that is. I couldn't honestly hurt a fly...spider maybe, but fly probably not. Fruit fly? Yeah, sure! Stink bug! HELLS to … [Read more...]
Roasted Lemon Garlic Herb Shrimp
This Roasted Lemon Garlic Herb Shrimp looks sooooooo good. And I wanted it to be sooooooo good, but I also didn't want to gain 5 pounds just looking at it. I tried to cut the oil and butter in this and I think something was lost in translation. I think I felt me hips just get bigger by reading the amount of oil in this. Yes, healthy oil, but still oil none the less. My nutritionist has me on the low fat plan... This looked too good to not give it a try. I cut the oil and the butter. … [Read more...]

I mean...I need to do something before my … [Read more...]
