Meatless Friday’s: Peach Cobbler
1I have had the worst cravings for peach cobbler this past week. The funny thing is I’ve never even had peach cobbler before in my life! Sure, I could have easily gone to Publix and buy it frozen, but its not just not the same as homemade. I wanted authentic, southern-style peach cobbler because it looks so damn delicious on T.V. or in pics. I of course went to good old trusty-reliable Pinterest and hit the jackpot! I found probably the easiest and most delicious homemade recipe for peach cobbler. Since I have nothing to reference it by, this is…
Easiest Appetizer EVER! Crock Pot Meatballs
1I went to my homegirl’s birthday BBQ over the weekend and was scrambling on what to bring. Of course I wait till last minute, and then realized she told me someone was bringing a bean/corn app…because otherwise I would have gone straight to my trusty-reliable Bean & Corn salsa. Being fat, preggo and craving everything under the sun, I thought about those yummy little meatballs covered in sweet and spicy sauce that I’ve had at different parties over the years but never knew how to make. I needed to make those not just for my own fatty-selfish reason, but because…
Meatless Friday’s: Easy Gazpacho
0A few months back, we went to dinner with some friends at their families local restaurant and I tried gazpacho for the first time. Totally blew my mind. It was cold, crispy, tomato & cucumber-y – I completely fell in love and needed to have it again. My preggo cravings were in full effect and all I wanted was gazpacho ever since. Well, I went out to dinner last week to a Spanish restaurant and of course had to try their version, but it just didn’t do the job like the first one. My husband told me I’m like a…
Last Minute BBQ Black Bean & Corn Salsa Recipe
0Happy Memorial Day! Gotta love long weekends full of family, friends and good food. Not to forget the bad ass men and women who have or are currently serving our country so we can have weekends like this! I have lots of veterans in my fam that we celebrate today and every day for our freedom. Now, we know this weekend is usually jammed packed with parties, backyard BBQ’s, beach days and pool time. We have done all 4! It’s been an great weekend, got a great tan going, got to spend time with family and friends and really got…
Meatless Friday’s: Cheese Fondue
0I love me some fondue! As a Mother’s Day treat, my mom whipped up some delicious cheese fondue as an appetizer and let me tell you, it blew the socks off the Melting Pot’s version! I have always been intimidated to have my own fondue night but rather opted to just go out and let a waiter take care of the dirty work. I observed as she made the cheese and no joke, it took her about 15 minutes from start to finish. That’s it. What the hell am I so intimidated by?! We feasted on bread and green apples…
Leftover Chicken? Make Some Chicken Parcels
0
I haven’t been inspired too much lately in the kitchen. Hate to admit it, but there have been a lot of soup & salad nights…and sometimes sans soup. Call it laziness, call it I’m pregnant AND lazy. The other night I splurged and went to good old Publix and grabbed a yummy rotisserie chicken. So what to do with all the left overs?? Chicken Pot Pie is always a nice fall back, but tonight I decided to step outside the box and make Parcels. What the hell is a parcel you may ask? A fancy word for a package. Cause…
Meatless Friday’s: Flatbread Pizzas
0I love Flatout Wraps. They make awesome wraps and even awesomer flatbread pizzas! And yes, I said awesomer. They take 10 minutes and you can get as creative as you like. Throw whatever you got in the fridge on top and I guarantee it will taste delish! I had a bunch of stuff in my fridge that was nearing its time before it starts growing fur and got a few ideas for dinner. Whether you are having some company, a girls night in, an after school snack or a light dinner – you must try! BBQ Flatbread Pizza 1 Flatout…
Healthy Happy Hour: A Quick Fruity Smoothie Recipe
0So I’m fat. Yes, I know I’m pregnant and it comes with the territory. There is only one man on the planet that can call me fat (in a sense) without suffering the bitchy repercussions of my rage and that man is my OB. And by call me fat I mean yell at me for gaining too much weight over a months time. I will admit I haven’t been eating or drinking the healthiest but #2 seems to be craving sugar. Anything sugar, candy, sweets you name it, I’ve inhaled it. So its no surprise that for the past 2…
Meatless Friday’s: Leftover Baked Spaghetti
0I am the worst at gauging how much spaghetti to make. I either make way too much or just enough for one bowl. No matter how much I try, I never seem to make the perfect amount. But the good part about it is leftovers! I usually make pasta fritatta, but this time I decided to try something different – Baked Spaghetti. I have been seeing a lot of recipes floating around online and of course Pinterest but I improvised with the ingredients I had in the house, tossed it all together and created a delicious baked pasta dish. I’m…
