Orangesicle is a pretty tasty treat! I used to LOVE the orange push up pops so I made Orangesicle Cream Cheese Bars. … [Read more...]
Limey Mojito Cupcakes
Another baked cocktail recipes, these Limey Mojito Cupcakes have a little mint, a little lime, and kick of rum in them. We don't have any kids. And we're not all that religious. So, to us Easter is a Sunday where we eat ham and potatoes and green bean casserole. That's about it. It's the grocery shopping, laundry doing, watch a movie and loaf day. Usually. That's pretty much what we did today, too. I had to hit two stores. Missy's food is not a regular brand … [Read more...]
Pistachio Lime Muffins
With a secret ingredient, these Pistachio Lime Muffins are packed with delicious flavor and healthy ingredients. But they're still deliciously moist. Pea flour! Yup! I said PEA FLOUR! It's a flour...made outta peas. Split green peas to be exact. In an effort to NOT make the typical split pea and *insert various meat here* soup, I wanted to find something different to make with the split peas I have in the pantry. PEA FLOUR! I said it again! This is not an … [Read more...]
Blueberry Lemon Scones
Blueberry Lemon Scones are moist and delicious with a hint of lemon flavor and full of blueberry goodness. We don't get a lot of "junk" mail. We get the occasional local type flyers and maybe a menu or two, but other than that not much "junk" comes into the household. Now, the non junk junk is what I look forward to every month. There are 2 or 3 catalogs that I honestly look forward to receiving. King Arthur Flour being one of them. I sit and go through the … [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...]
Oregano and Lime Roasted Chicken Breasts
Oregano and Lime Roasted Chicken Breasts Cooking Light, April 2010 Again, I used the same flavors, but a different method with this recipe. I loosened the skin from the roaster and put thinly sliced limes under the skin, rubbed the meat with the oregano and some cumin and roasted it in the counter top oven on the rotisserie attachment. OMG I love the flavor of the lime with the chicken meat. It is FANTASTIC! Again, I didn't make the pan sauce, but all the flavors (minus the tequila) are … [Read more...]
Crispy Fish with Lemon-Dill Sauce
Click here for recipe Cooking Light, April 2010 Mine never comes out as crispy as it looks like in the picture. *sigh* It was tasty. It was easy. I may make it again, I may not. I didn't have the lemon for the sauce, so I just made some tartar sauce to go with it. I made mine as a sandwich. It was okay. I don't know that I'm fond of the spices that went into the breading mixture. They seemed a bit strange for me...at least not for a breaded fish. Maybe for a broiled or sauteed, but not a … [Read more...]
Lemon and Sage Chicken
Click here for recipe Cooking Light, JUNE 2010 So.....yeah. I ALMOST followed the recipe. *snort* I hadn't planned on grilling the chicken, because we can't use the grill at the moment. I just turned this into a roasted chicken recipe. I rubbed the marinade under the skin of the chicken and let it set for about 30 minutes before putting it into the oven. I didn't taste the lemon or the sage. I tasted mostly garlic. It was REALLY good, but I hoped to taste more of the lemon and sage. Maybe … [Read more...]
