I have been dying to step out of the box for my next meatless meal. Gotta spice things up for my last 2! I decided to go a little tropical (insert hula dancing girl here). Love me some coconut shrimp and have been seeing some yummy recipes on Pinterest. Except, I really hate frying and the best sweet, crunchy coconut shrimp are deep fried. Well, at least the ones I’ve had. Now, you may think I hate frying for the obvious reason – all the calories and greasiness – but you’re wrong. I don’t mind eating fried food what so…
Thirsty Thursday – Cupcake Martini
0Since I can’t have my cake and eat it too, I might as well drink it, right!? I concocted this edible drink last night while going through one of my sugar cravings. It doesn’t hit the spot like the real deal cupcakes I wish to consume, but it sure as hell is a great substitute! This is perfect for your next ladies night, birthday celebration, or just when you’d rather drink your calories than eat them! Cupcake Martini 2 oz Vanilla Vodka 1 oz Ginger Ale Splash of cranberry juice (optional) Frosting, sprinkles and cherry for garnish In a shaker…
Must…Consume….Sugar!!
0My sugar sabbatical for 40 days is slowly coming to an end. I can’t even tell you how slowly slowly is going. I’m dying! My will power is getting the best of me. The cravings are getting worse and worse. BLEH!! I try to keep my mind off the sugar, I consume fruit to suppress the unbearable cravings. But then I look in my pantry and all I want to do is eat a fucking piece of candy!!!!!! I’ve lasted through birthday parties with tons of cookies, rice krispies treats, Twizzlers, cake pops and mounds of chocolate. I’ve lasted…
Food Truck Party
0I know I’m tardy for the food truck party, but holy shit! Didn’t realize I was missing out on some really good eats! I have always wanted to hit up these infamous mobile restaurants but something would always come up to deter me. I vowed the next time a food truck opportunity would arise, I would leap at the chance to see what all the fuss was about. So a few weeks ago, my friends at Capitol Lighting were having an event and 3 local South Florida food trucks were on hand with some tasty bites. Of course I had…
Meatless Friday – 20 Minute Minestrone Soup
0The husband has been feeling under the weather the past few days and requested minestrone soup. Of course the day I plan to make it is a day where I will be out of the house the majority of the day. So how to get the best of both worlds? A pressure cooker. I know some people might be a little scared of this guy, believe me, I was to when I first tried it. In fact, I am still scared of that damn thing. It makes cooking things like soup, which normally take an hour or so to…
