A good Shepherd’s Pie is a delicious and savory dish. One day, I was trying to find a breakfast for dinner that we could have other than pancakes, sausages, eggs or Benedict. Then, Breakfast Shepherd’s Pie came up. It was amazing, I swear! WE USED DICED POTATOES because I was afraid that the traditional mashed […]
These spicy-sweet pickled carrots are not for my mom. Every year we grow carrots in the garden. Once fall arrives, we have to decide what to do like all things. Although you might think that I was raised in depression, a part of me is still very much alive when we have to throw out […]
This Garlic Chicken Sausage with Broccoli Alfredo contains chicken sausage and broccoli. I consider it “health food”. Although it doesn’t fall under the “diet foods” category, it is healthier than fast food and other junk food. These are all healthy ingredients, even though they contain cream, butter and cheese. They are also delicious and so […]

Although I truly wanted these to be made from scratch, I realized that I needed to be realistic about my goals. Betty helped me a […]

You may be wondering what exactly a Buddha Bowl is. A few years ago, the same question was asked me when I was invited to dinner with some friends. She came up with the brilliant idea of a Buddha Bowl Bar and wanted to try it on us. When someone asks us to eat, we […]
Being imperfect is the best thing about being imperfect. I can mix bourbon and other delicious ingredients to create my cocktails. You have to ensure that you use the correct liquor when a perfectionist. It is important to ensure that the measurements are correct. All ingredients must be handmade to organic perfection. Let me tell […]
I have had a love-hate relationship in the past with beets. Growing up, I didn’t mind them, but I always ate the canned variety. They were… okay at best. Then I discovered the beauty of freshly roasted beets. And then my hate became love. Beets taste completely different when freshly roasted than from a can. […]
These Double Decker Turkey Tacos are an easy, sophisticated, and homemade version of the Taco Bell Double Decker Taco. The contrast between textures and the flavor combinations of cheese and guacamole makes this combination so special.
