My next column for The Daily Herald is going to be these Salisbury Steak Meatballs. I have to thank my WW friend Jim for the hookup. Almost a year ago, Jim asked if I would like to contribute to the local paper in their food column.  The immediate answer was “of course!”  He said there was no pay, and my immediate answer was “of course!”...

These blueberry oat scones will taste decadent but will not break the calorie bank. A story about scones. My late husband tried a scone at a business meeting in 1989.  He declared it was the worst thing he ever ate. And never ate another one the rest of his life, even after I’ve made DOZENS of scones on this blog. Slightly crunchy on the outside,...

I’ve never been able to get granola bars to stay together after baking.  They would look good, I would let them cool and then as soon as I went to cut them, they would crumble. And I would have just made granola.  My friend Nicole from Prevention RD makes an amazing granola, and she uses whipped egg whites as a binder. And that worked! I...

These blueberry vanilla latte muffins turned out delicious.  But it was because my first recipe sucked ass.  😂 Pretty sure you can tell which muffin worked out.  This is why baking is foreign to me.  When I am cooking something, I can taste as I go.  With baking you pretty much have to wait until it is cooked.  My thought process was that by adding...

Drop the mic on this North Carolina Pork BBQ sandwich.  It ticks all the boxes for me:  juicy pork, with crispy bits, cheddar cheese, crisp red cabbage, pickles #swoon. I was told by quite a lot of people that my North Carolina BBQ sauce is actually a western style. North Carolina takes their BBQ very seriously, so since mine has ketchup (or tomato based) this...

These rainbow bagels were a food memory blast from the past.  I used to make rainbow bread for Hannah when she was little. My friend Sam posted about a place in Chicago called Taste of New York that had rainbow bagels, and I thought I needed to make a batch of rainbow bagels with my skinny pizza dough. Best decision evah! Now, this is a...

I am calling these Elvis pancakes because they have bananas, peanut butter AND bacon.  #swoon In 2017, I got a message from Premier Protein asking me if I wanted to work with them.   What?! I literally thought I had finally made it in the blogging world – someone actually wanted to work with me!  And not just in free product!  In case you want to...

Overnight Quinoa Oats Wow is all I can say about these overnight quinoa oats.  I never thought of doing that before but I picked up a bag of quinoa over the weekend with no idea for it. A few google searches later and I saw quinoa as overnight oats.  Huh.  I wasn’t sure I would like the texture of just quinoa, so I added quick...

These turkey burger parmesan sliders will soon go on your list of things to make.  If you think your family doesn’t like turkey burgers, I promise this recipe will convert them. How do you make a juicy turkey burger? Add fat.  Ha!  No seriously, just a small pat of butter in the middle of the turkey burger patty makes all the difference.  I also added...

Chicken Birria Tacos Chicken Birria Tacos need to be on the top of your list of recipes to make! I have a new love affair, and it’s with birria tacos.  I decided to make them a bit healthier by using chicken.  You will love these chicken birria tacos! The depth of flavor of this consomme can’t be explained.  Like I wonder sometimes if it would...
