Do you hate walking into a messy kitchen? Can you stand a sink overflowing with dirty dishes, crumbs and random scraps of food scattered across the counters, and when you reach into the utensil drawer to grab a spoon for your cereal there’s none to be found? Eating cereal with a large metal ladle is as awkward as it sounds.

Everyone wants a clean kitchen, but the task of cleaning is easily categorized as a chore or burden. Every eater obsesses over glorious dinners, cooking elaborate meals, and being wooed by the food, but it seems like a fair amount of people fail to recognize the cleanup process.

Are there any others, like myself, who enjoy cleaning the kitchen?More Here...

I am known for slicing open an avocado, removing the pit, and going at it with a spoon. Not only do I do this for a snack, but any meal might include avocado as a fuss free guest. Just yesterday morning I ate half of an avocado spooned right out of the shell for breakfast. It is coincidental that Kirbie's Cravings just posted about Avocado Egg Cups, because I had been thinking about writing on avocado for a week now.

I have three key categories that must fit a certain criteria that have been carefully mulled over and discussed with fellow cupcake lovers over the years.

The Cake

It must be moist, first and foremost, yet it should not be so moist that it leaves a greasy residue on the cupcake liners. Yuck! The cake needs to be light and somewhat airy but still dense enough to hold the frosting. More Here...

I cook chicken breasts quite often because they are tasty and ever so versatile. I eat them in salads or with sautéed vegetables. When I am making a chicken marinade I usually throw together some spices I think will work together, add an oil and an acid, and let the chicken soak up the love for a couple of hours. Today I felt like following a recipe for once, because when I do my food comes out better (gee, whad’ya know?).

I have a recipe for marinated chicken breasts in my stash from years ago, and I pull this particular one out a few times a year because 1- I forget what goes in it and 2- it is the most delicious marinade I have ever used on meat to date.

It literally takes 5 minutes to put together. More Here...
