Whenever I visit a vietnamese restaurant, I ALWAYS order a big bowl of pho and a grilled pork vietnamese sandwich.  I love all the flavors in those 2 dishes, and have always wondered how difficult they were to make at home. Recently I was browsing food blogs, and discovered this post: http://whiteonricecouple.com/recipes/vietnamese-pork-banh-mi/ After reading through the [...]

I’m always trying to find new ways in which to cook salmon, since it’s not one of my favorite fish.  Recently, I purchased some cheap salmon fillets from Krogers and decided to make a salmon curry. The curry was so easy to make, and turned out very tasty.  I hope you like it!! Here is [...]

Recently, a coworker was talking about how much she loved cooking with her crockpot.  She described how easy it was to use, and how much her family loved the meals made with the crockpot.  I have owned the same crock pot for over 15 years, and can literally count on 2 hands, the number of [...]

Purple Cabbage & Green Apples Salad with Praline Vinaigrette

Well it’s day 3 of the #SaladJam challenge.  Hopefully I’m inspiring some of you to ditch the iceberg lettuce…LOL Today’s salad is pretty simple to make and packed with flavor and color.

Ok…I’m a little annoyed.  My favorite photo editing site (www.ipiccy.com) has been hacked.  I love editing my pictures and using the cool KG Hope font on ipiccy, so I’m a bit bummed that their site has been compromised.  Hopefully they will be back up and running tomorrow.  But anyway, time to discuss today’s salad. It [...]

Shrimp & Lobster Mac & Cheese

For me, macaroni and cheese is the ULTIMATE comfort food.  I love when it’s warm and cheesy, and served in a nice BIG bowl.  Today I was in my FAVORITE grocery store ALDI http://aldi.us/index_ENU_HTML.htm and saw frozen raw Maine lobsters in the freezer section for $9.99.  Now lobster is not an item I tend to buy often, [...]

Sugar Glazed Chicken Meatball Sandwich

Whenever I make something, I am always trying to find ways in which to make it better.  I love ground chicken, and tend to use it a lot to make chicken sandwiches.  Awhile ago I made these chicken sliders  http://bit.ly/T8vkZx and they were a big hit.  As a result, I decided to make something similar, but with [...]

Roasted Vegetables on Grilled French Bread with Fresh Mozzarella & Basil

I have to admit that I am the only one in my house that really enjoys vegetables like zucchini and eggplant. I’ve tried to introduce it to my family, in a variety of dishes, but they just don’t like it.  Whenever I purchase these vegetables, I tend to slice/dice/chop and freeze, so that they don’t [...]
