Pickled Jalapeño Corn Fritters

Pickled Jalapeño Corn Fritters
If you missed my post yesterday, you need to make these salt and pepper biscuits – they made the best breakfast sammie.  Scrambled eggs, a tablespoon of bacon bits (1), 1/2 ounce cheese (2) and the biscuit (5) – so delish!  And super filling too – I didn’t even eat my lunch until after 2 p.m.! Our weather was stunning yesterday – blue skies and...

Baba ganoush.

Baba ganoush.
Oh my Lerd – work has been so busy.  Every time I think I am ahead of the game, I get more worked piled on.  I work for three attorneys who all do something different, so it’s a lot of switching gears on how I do my work depending on who I am working for at the moment.  All three of my attorneys have been...

It took me only a matter of minutes to flip through Jessica’s new cookbook to immediately flag about 10 things right off the bat.  Her book is now available for order, or you still have time to enter my giveaway to win one – you have until Thursday at midnight to enter.  I was having Jacob’s Dad and Grandpa over for a BBQ for Sunday...

Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

Buffalo Cauliflower Bites
I was expecting to have a productive day yesterday clearing a bunch of little stuff off my desk, but instead, with a couple secretaries out, I became the “go to girl” and it was a busy day.  I didn’t even eat this breakfast until nearly 10:00!  1 1/4 cup shredded potatoes cooked in 1 teaspoon grape seed oil (2), 3 ounces of steak (3) and...

Skinny Empanadas
If you are on Weight Watchers connect, there are several members who somehow are trending every.single.day – I don’t understand why a handful of people always get the same recogniztion day after day, when I see other people who are killing it and get no attention at all.  Such is social media, right? A member called “Mudhustler” has a recipe for a Big Ass Waffle...

Chicken Marsala Meatballs

Chicken Marsala Meatballs
It’s funny living in the midwest when you feel that 30 degrees is so warm, but that first day in October or November when we dip into the 30s, we are like “it’s so fricken cold! Why do I live here?”  But have subzero temps, it was a joy to walk to the office in 30 degree weather. I plan on posting my take on...

Cheesy Chicken Meatballs

Cheesy Chicken Meatballs
I will always take cold weather and sunny skies over snow days and 35 degrees.  Although yesterday with the windchill, it felt like 2 degrees.  Let’s just say I don’t mind those temps if I am at home, on my comfy sofa with the dogs and a fire going in the wood burning stove.  I plan on making a batch of the skinny bagels over...

Broiled Tomatillo Salsa

Broiled Tomatillo Salsa
Yesterday I was prepared for the weather!   When I left the house it was 15 degrees, but with the wind felt like 4.  My brother gave me this hat for Christmas a couple years ago and I love it.  I work leggings under my pants, my boots – I was toasty! I walked into my building and forgot that the building was having a...
