I bought a fennel bulb on a whim for the holidays not knowing quite what I would do with it. Of course I forgot about until yesterday when I was rummaging through the fridge trying to figure out what I wanted to make for breakfast. I pulled it out and stared [...]

Sunday I made this sandwich on a complete whim. I just bought a bunch of red delicious apples (they were on sale.) I had 2 slices of turkey breast left in the fridge and a few wedges of The Laughing Cow Cheese just waiting to be used. As you guys may [...]

You may not know this about me but I am a turkey burger fanatic. There's nothing wrong with a traditional burger but I like using ground turkey as a starter for some more fun ideas. So far I've come up with... Southwestern Turkey Burgers Grilled Honey Mustard Turkey Oat Burgers [...]

Sometimes I just get craving and last night was one of those times. After recording a video for Roni's Weigh I took my hand at an idea I've had for some time. Could I use won ton wrappers as crusts for mini apple pies? Well, I'm happy to say, the answer is YES! I can't believe [...]

Let me first say this idea only hit me because of our recent influx of fruit. :) I had a slow morning as the little guy had a doctors appointment. So I got to chill a bit instead of rushing in to beat traffic. So I took the idea behind my quick banana pancakes and [...]

I don't know WHAT came over me. I had these thin cut pork chops and I just went to town. I swear cooking is becoming a creative outlet for me more and more. I just love it! So this idea was totally inspired by fall and my recent trip to a local farm where I [...]

I love being a blogger. People just send you great ideas! This one came from Krista S. She sent a muffin recipe she found online and adapated. I, of course, changed it slightly to use what I had on hand and make the toddler happy. He declared "I don't like raisins in my [...]

I was on a mission to use the leftover turkey in some ingenious ways this year. Something fun and different but light, especially after the amount of calories I've consumed over the last 2 days! Yikes! So this morning I whipped this up and oh... my... word... SO GOOD! My mom is still [...]

A few weeks ago, Mary emailed me about contest Sunkist was holding for charity to celebrate their 100 year anniversary. She asked if I’d be willing to try a recipe to help promote the contest and support the Special Olympics. Here’s the quick details... Sunkist is in the middle of its year-long 100th [...]

A few weeks ago, I went out to lunch with two of my old friends and colleagues. When I eat with them, they always take me to the coolest places I would never find on my own. This time it was Dogwood Gourmet., an awesome Baltimore catering company focusing on local farms [...]
