(Boiled) Peanut Butter

July 19, 2011

burro di arachidi/peanut butter Admitting I am wrong is never fun. It’s not a great place to be. Even so, when necessary, I put my big granny panties on and own up to my errors. That being said, here it goes…I have misjudged boiled peanuts. Until recently, the soggy shells and slippery kernels of this […]

July 18, 2011

una colazione/breakfast While visiting Lana’s (virtual) kitchen, I learned about the Secret Recipe Club.

Guava Cupcakes

July 15, 2011

tropicale/tropical Here’s a little sweet nibble before we head into the weekend. I got my hands on some guava pastry filling a few weeks ago and have been talking about using it ever since. Days went by and I think the girls at work thought I was full of it, since not one cupcake entered the […]

Cherry Slaw Salad

July 13, 2011

ciliege/cherries I am addicted to cherries. When summer rolls around, I can’t resist the ruby red juicy bits of goodness. I am fully aware I have a problem. Even so, with all my cherry consumption, there aren’t many posts that include the fruit. There was some Cherry Basil Frozen Yogurt and Cherry Pepper Salsa Recipe, but […]

Honey Roasted Figs with Sabayon

July 11, 2011

complimenti/compliments Happy Happy Eat. Live. Be. Monday! I have started today’s post, about my weekend in Blue Ridge, over and over again.

Chewy Granola Bars

July 8, 2011

montagne/mountains Energized. Pumped. Giddy. Anxious. Me. Why? A weekend getaway. I can’t remember the last time I had a relaxing vacation. Sure, I have traveled to various places here and there. And, I have had great experiences. But, there was always a purpose or pressure to be out and about. I have never gone away […]

Chickpeas and Tomatoes

July 7, 2011

piacevole/pleasing Good Food Matters. Yes? A lot of words aren’t necessary to make a point, and many times the fewer the words, the greater the impression or impact. Knorr recognizes that.

Black Bottom Banana Cream Pie

July 5, 2011

pia illusione/pie in the sky While on Facebook, about to update the Mele Cotte page, I noticed a reoccurring “something” on my Wall. Many friends were noted as attending the Pie Party. Pie? Party? I love both. My curiosity was peaked, “What is this event so many seem to be partaking?” According to the description, […]
