I love my slow cooker but I don’t use it as much as I would like to. A slow cooker can be a busy person’s best friend, but my problem is that so many recipes require only 5-6 hours of cooking time. Well, I work full-time, which means with my commute and 8 hour work … Continue reading
I’m not really sure how authentically Thai this recipe is, but I do know it tastes pretty dang awesome. I remember my first experience with Thai cuisine. It was on my honeymoon, at the tender age of 22. The huz and I stayed at a Sandals resort in Jamaica which featured a “private island,” accessible … Continue reading
Cabin Fever. I think I am getting it! I am craving a vacation so badly. Whenever I tell people that, they respond by reminding/reprimanding me that I JUST went to Europe. Uh, no, that was four months ago! I need a beach in my life. And a fuzzy navel with a little umbrella. For breakfast. … Continue reading
I’m happy to report that after yesterday’s hot-oil-laced-with-cayenne-pepper-spattering-into-eyeball incident, my eyeballs feels just fine! I am also feeling better today, but not perfect. I had a great workout after dinner tonight, which also helped, at least mentally. My head feels clearer. Last night I just had a really half-assed workout, and did something I rarely … Continue reading
Phew! We are having a much more difficult time overcoming jet lag after returning home than we did when traveling the opposite direction – from home to Europe. Our plane to Europe left around 10:00 PM on a Friday night, and arrived at 11:30 AM local time on Saturday in Paris two weeks ago. After … Continue reading
A week or two ago, I was perusing the Cooking Light website and stumbled upon a recipe for Coconut-Curry Chicken Soup. I decided to add it to my Pinterest “Recipes To Try” board, and within minutes, over a dozen people had repinned the picture! [ source ] Apparently I was not the only one who … Continue reading
Aight y’all. Things are about to get real around here. Fo rizzles. For real. Last night when I was making this soup, I forgot to “blog it.” Forgot to take pictures of the process and pretty pictures of the final product. Instead, here’s what dinner really looks like. No, we don’t actually eat most meals … Continue reading
Ummmm….I blog about soup a lot. Agreed? Is that cool? If this particular soup doesn’t appeal to you, alternatively you can click here and go read my other 46 posts about “Soups, Stews, and Chowders.” Yeah, that’s a lot of soup, in, well, almost two years. That’s right, my blog’s two year anniversary is approaching … Continue reading
Y’all know that soup is my favorite thing to cook. This recipe for Tortilla Meatball Soup was recently on the cover of Cooking Light magazine and I knew I had to make it. [ source ] This soup was, well, fun to make. I definitely wouldn’t want to tackle this on a weeknight, but it … Continue reading
Saturday I was not exactly a “healthy living blogger.” No, this is not the Spicy African Peanut Slow Cooker Soup. We’ll get to that in a few moments. First, I enjoyed Chinese takeout. Hot & Sour Soup, I can’t resist. Also cannot resist Sweet and Sour Shrimp (to my credit, I only ate a bit … Continue reading
