My version of Chicken Cordon Bleu(sort of)
May 29, 2008 ·
I really wish I had some sort of speck of memory in my cranium. However I don’t. But if I did I would remember when and where I had my first and only(until now) experience with Chicken Cordon Bleu. I just remember the greasy out side that was sort of fried, the chewy swiss cheese […]
I knew those 100 Calorie Packs were good for something!
May 27, 2008 ·
Holding icecream…thats what they are good for! I saw this cute little idea in Womans Day. My kids were in the pool while I was flipping through the pages of Woman Day and saw these. I thought to myself..hmm, I know I have 50 million of those 100 Calorie Packs in the house(good for the […]
My first "Marbled" Cake
May 26, 2008 ·
As you can tell from the last photo, this was my first attempt at a “Marbled” cake. Looks more like a half and half cake to me! It lacks those beautiful swirls you see in the professional cakes. Well I guess I will just have to practice some more! No complaints here! I got this […]
Fresh Coconut? Oh hell no..not from me!
May 25, 2008 ·
My darling son and I took a trip to the Super Target the other day. While walking thorough the produce section, he got bright eyed and bushy tailed when he saw the odd looking coconut fruit.I said, “We can get one if you want.” He was all excited and grabbed the biggest one he could […]
A big bowl of cherries..and no inspiration!
May 24, 2008 ·
I think my brain is completely gone. My laptop has been progressively acting up over the last few months. So today I went to Best Buy to purchase a new computer. I used their service to transfer all of my existing files from my old pile of junk to my new(probably to be outdated in […]

Simply DELICIOUS!(with a slight confession at the end)
May 18, 2008 ·
Super Simple, Super Quick, Super Yumm I was looking through my endless piles of recipes for another chicken recipe. I found this one tucked behind another recipe. I must have stolen it out of Better Homes and Gardensprobably from the dentist office or something(are you even supposed to do that???)Its from the October 2007 issue…Turkey […]
The Italians are rolling over in their graves!
May 16, 2008 ·
I obviously have NO Italian blood in my family…and this will be very apparent in my Spaghetti recipe! If a true blooded Italian( or even an Italian twice removed) tasted my Spaghetti they would probably spew it across the room. Goodness, I am really talking up my food aren’t I? Makes you want to get […]
