Chipotle Turkey Cutlets
White trying to decide what to make for dinner the other night (I had Shepherd's Pie on the brain), it occurred to me that I had a jar of Sweet Chipotle Mustard that needed to be used up. It's so good on turkey sandwiches, I figured if you can slather chicken breasts in Pesto and bake them, you should be able to slather a turkey breast in Sweet Chipotle Mustard and roast that. Of course my market didn't have any turkey breasts, and...
Tide Coldwater - Take A Load Off Sweepstakes
I've been busy and not staying on top of my blog, e-mail, or much of anything else lately. I received an e-mail about this promotion from She Speaks, and although I may be too late for Earth Day, it's never too late to save some energy, or cash for that matter. Plus, this Sweepstakes is open through May 13, so it's not too late to possibly win a new High Efficiency Washer and Dryer!The premise was that we should all "take a load off"...
Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector B.B. Cream
A while back, I was selected to participate in a campaign through BzzAgent to sample Garnier's new Miracle Skin Perfector B.B. Cream. Of course the day I received the product, I was leaving town for two weeks, but that was OK, I brought it with me. Ironically, it wasn't until that day that I started hearing the commercial everywhere I went. I can still hear that voice in my head - a girl shouting B.B.!! Do you know...
Guacamole Bread
I was eating a salad the other night that had slices of avocado in it, and that got me thinking about how I keep hearing TV chefs slamming the idea of cooking avocados, while at the same time, I'm seeing more and more posts of avocado fries and eggs baked in avocados. Given that avocados have a similar texture to bananas, I was wondering if you could use them the same way as in Banana Bread. Sounded worth a shot to me.Then I started...
Easter 2012
Hello. Just checking in to see how everyone's Easter was this year. Ours was kind of a bust ... at least in the dessert department. Dinner was great, but non-traditional, as we usually have Braciole. My sister makes an awesome Braciole and usually makes a few with a mushroom filling and a few with an artichoke filling (mostly since I don't like mushrooms). Because it can be labor intensive, and she wasn't really in...
Theres Chicken in my Oatmeal ... and I love it!
I have never been a morning person, so getting me to eat breakfast at all (other than my drive-thru cup of Dunkin coffee and the occasional bagel) is a nearly impossible task. I love breakfast foods - just not in the morning. I'm all in when it comes to waffles for dinner, omelets for brunch, etc. Don't even get me started on bacon - yumm! I realize that oatmeal is a much loved breakfast staple, but I have never been able...
The Green Giant is Shrinking???
The next time you're in the canned goods aisle of your grocery store, you might be thinking what I'd be thinking ... Here they go again, these companies must think we're idiots, charging us the same (or more) for a smaller size. Blah, blah, blah ... If that's what you'd be thinking, much like me, you'd be wrong. At least in this particular case. Apparently, Green Giant has gone and changed their corn canning method, so not only...
Mexican Stuffed Peppers
I had a severe case of Foodie Block tonight, and this was what I finally came up with for dinner, so it worked out great. You know how at Thanksgiving, everyone looks forward to those uber-delicious leftover Thanksgiving Sandwiches? Well, I recently had that in mind and had wanted to turn it into a meatloaf version, with a layer of stuffing, gravy, ground turkey, cranberry sauce, etc. It sounded like a good idea at first, but...
Ocean Spray® Fruit Flavored Snacks
I have been out of town for the past two weeks, so I got waaaaaaay behind on blogging, not to mention my e-mails, etc. I was just scrolling through some of what I missed and realized that a new Ocean Spray product has hit the markets - fruit snacks.Armenians have been making fruit leather for a bazillion years, and some of you know I made one miserably failed attempt at making my grandmother's version last year, but I haven't gotten around...
