Roasted Green Beans with Red Onions and Walnuts

Thu, 23 May 2013 16:30:00 GMT

Michelle loves to roast vegetables like cauliflower, kale, green bean, etc as the high heat and short cooking time brings out the caramelization and yet retain the nutrition. Michelle shared the above Roasted Green Beans with Red Onion and Walnuts in the South Arm Older Adults Kitchen. More Here...

Recipe: Nachos Dulces

Thu, 23 May 2013 13:30:00 GMT

There is a local Mexican Restaurant in Ogden, Utah that serves the most sinful Nachos Dulces that you have ever tasted. And I wanted them right now, I had flown all day and missed the comforting taste of home food. It was 9:00 on a Friday night, I was already in my sweats and I didn’t feel like going out for dessert. So, I tried my hand at making my own nachos dulces, and I have to admit, they turned out pretty dang awesome. You’re going to thank me for this one. More Here...

Chopped All-Stars: Totally Rigged!

Wed, 22 May 2013 20:00:00 GMT

Disclaimer: I absolutely cannot stand Scott Conant. I really can't. I think he's a total ass and cocky to boot. Therefore, take the following with a grain of salt, though I'm curious as to see what everyone who watched the show thinks.

I love the show "Chopped." It's one of a few shows on TV I'm totally hooked on. The idea of having a limited time to prepare a meal with ingredients that normally don't go together is intriguing, and it's interesting seeing how the competitors marry the ingredients. That said, some parts of me wonder if there is a little under-the-hood bias. More Here...

Asparagus and Mushroom Tart with Red Wine Cheddar

Wed, 22 May 2013 16:30:00 GMT

This is a guest post from The Messy Baker.

I know better than to go shopping without a list. I have at least three iPhone apps to help me compile them. Pads of paper cling to the fridge simply so I can jot down items as I deplete their inventory. Lists prevent wastage, overstocking and second (even third) trips to the store. I advise others to always bring a list. I know about the dangers of wandering well-stocked aisles without a plan. So what did I do?

I went grocery shopping without a list.

I only needed three things. Three simple items. I’m smart. I have a pretty good memory. Just this once, I didn’t take a list.

Taco Bell's New Taco Waffle & How to Make Your Own

Wed, 22 May 2013 13:30:00 GMT

Waffle taco for breakfast – Why not? I love breakfast burritos and breakfast tacos, but having a waffle replace the tortilla is genius! A few weeks ago Taco Bell rolled out the new 89-cent Waffle Taco in Southern California. The taco comes packed with scrambled eggs and a sausage patty folded into a soft waffle – syrup served separately.

Hungry? Have Some Insects

Tue, 21 May 2013 23:00:00 GMT

Fight world hunger by eating bugs? I’ve seen Bear Grylls chomp into a juicy grub and claim it wasn’t that bad. I associate eating bugs with being lost in the jungle and starving, not sitting down for a nice meal and ordering a plate of grasshoppers. More Here...

Pretzel Blondies with Salted Caramel

Tue, 21 May 2013 20:00:00 GMT

This is a guest post from Feast On The Cheap.

Mariel here. So as I’m sitting down to write this, I’m facing my first weekend away from my babe…leaving him in the capable hands of my husband. They don’t make better dads, but I can’t squelch the niggling suspicion that I’ll return home to an overtired, over-stimulated crank pot on Sunday. And to a nursery smeared with poop. Does he even know how to change a Diaper Genie? Help.

To combat my anxiety over the whole thing, I’ve been making lists. Lots of lists. My son’s daily schedule – or the manifesto as my friend calls it – features a play-by-play of his usual day, including necessary details like “play on the mat or do whatever until breakfast.” I also compiled a list of the things my son can and cannot eat, which is broken down into foods currently acceptable for consumption in the “pantry,” “fridge” and “freezer.” I even pre-wrote a card for our nephew’s baptism and taped that to the fridge too, lest my sister-in-law think we’re forgetful jerks. Right now you’re a) rolling your eyes b) nodding your head in sisterly communion c) wondering why I’m telling you this. More Here...

My Strange Addiction

Tue, 21 May 2013 17:00:00 GMT

My hands tremor, my eyes bulge and are bloodshot. I stagger about, desperate for another fix. I scrounge through all of my stashes, become irritable because they are gone and I lash out at those I love most. I must bide my time before I can go get my drug of choice and I begin to convulse as I go through withdrawal. My eyes cross and I grit my teeth. Foam puffs out of my mouth. People ask if I have rabies.

I must endure this… just a little longer.

Yes, it’s true. Even we Christians fall prey to temptations and get wrapped up in dirty, foul sins. For years I lived in denial and refused to admit that I had a problem. I would make promises, vows and sacred oaths that I would never, ever do it again. I could go a couple weeks without it but inevitably I would break down. It would begin with snitching here and there and escalade to full-blown consumption.

Secret Lives Tour, Part One

Tue, 21 May 2013 13:30:00 GMT

This is a guest post from CakeSpy.

Hello, sweet ones!

Well, the first leg of my second book tour for The Secret Lives of Baked Goods: Sweet Stories & Recipes for America's Favorite Desserts, is now complete (remaining dates here! And a contest to win a copy HERE!). And oh, has it ever been sweet! Here's a mini review of who I saw, what I ate, and what magical things happened.

SEATTLE:

I arrived in Seattle on the day my book was officially released, May 7th. Woohoo! I basically went straight to the reading venue, which was the University Bookstore. The event was co-hosted by the Girl Scouts of Western Washington, who brought cookies and offered a sweet discount on the book for all girl scouts (including former girl scouts!). Why Girl Scouts? Well, the book tells the story of the cookies! More Here...
