I have been meaning to write this post since our return from Disney last month! Now, dining at Disney can get extremely pricey and we were on a strict budget this trip. We found a great snack shop in Magic Kingdom but what about in some of the other great parks? I did some research and saw rave reviews for Donald’s Dining Safari Lunch at Tusker House in the Animal Kingdom, which also is a character lunch. So since we were heading to Animal Kingdom, this was a no brainer. With all character dining – and seated dining for that…
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…
Dunkin Donuts Newest Creations!
0I had the pleasure of attending a blogger event at the newly renovated Dania Beach Dunkin Donuts last week to sample some of DD’s newest wrap and sandwich creations. I love that Dunkin Donuts is taking it a step above breakfast and keeping us fueled through out the day on some delicious sammies instead of just donuts. But what sandwich wouldn’t be complete with out one of their famous drinks to go along with it, and they are recreating those too! Not only is the menu getting a makeover, but most stores are getting a nice facelift. Dania Beach Dunkin…
Meatless Friday’s: Flatbread Pizzas
1I 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
1I 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…
Brunch: Baked Eggs
0
I love brunch. Brunching is the best. Waffles, eggs, pancakes, hash browns, mimosa’s, bloody Mary’s….Did I mention mimosa’s?? For Christmas we decided to have a brunch and served all the above as well as shrimp cocktail, stuffed mushrooms and baked eggs. It was a first for us to try them out, my husband and I both saw recipes for baked eggs and they looked so good. We decided to put our heads together and whip up some with some great ingredients. The prep was a bit tedious, depending on what you want in the baked eggs but so worth it!…
Meatless Friday’s: Veggie Quinoa Bake
0It’s no secret I’m into experimenting with quinoa. A few weeks ago I had my veggie drawer filled with some produce that was nearing the end of its days and about a 1 cup of cooked quinoa in my fridge that I forgot about on the stove and it became extra mushy. I didn’t have the heart to throw it out. I thought about making quinoa balls, or my usually quiona ‘mac & cheese’ but then I remembered the veggies and thought about utilizing those bad boys. Enter the Veggie Quinoa Bake. Cheese-y, veggie-y, and oh so good! My husband…
Turkey Cutlet Club Sandwich
0Now that I can eat meat on Friday’s again, I have been dying for a turkey club. Unfortunately, being pregnant limits me to some food I used to eat on the reg like sushi and turkey meat. So if I want a turkey sandwich, its got to be fresh, off the bird kind of turkey meat. Bleh. So instead of roasting up a whole bird for this sandwich, I hit up good old Publix and found some turkey cutlets. My wheels started spinning and knew I could pull of the sandwich of my dreams with them. And you can bet…
Meatless Friday’s: Crab Cake Sandwiches
0The last meatless Friday of Lent – had to go out with a bang! I have been craving Maryland-style crab cakes. Anything Maryland-style is good in my book. I lived there for 7 years and have had an obsession with old bay and blue crabs ever since. There’s one restaurant that I usually go to when I am feigning those spicy bad boys, but i didn’t feel like taking the 40 minute hike up north to West Palm, so I put on the chef’s hat and went to work. I whipped up some pan fried crab cake sandwiches last week…
