  1. Jicama, Mango and Carrot Salad

    May 17, 2013 by Liz

    Mango-Jicama-1

    Yes, I have not posted since December, I can’t believe it!  I was thinking about what was holding me back and yes I’m busy with family and work but it really came down to taking pictures of the food I make.  It’s not an easy thing trying to make your food look as good as it tastes, especially when it comes to lighting.  I take photos of the food we are actually eating that moment and it’s usually dinner so with daylight saving it is so much easier!  Maybe for my birthday I’ll ask for an artificial light set up so my winter pictures will be much more enjoyable to take.  It feels good to be back doing what I enjoy.

    Melted-Snowman-Cookies

    The pressure is on…only 3 more days for shopping.  Do you have all of yours finished?  I hope so, then you can spend a relaxing afternoon this weekend making these cuties.  I saw these snowmen cookies last year but, time slipped away and they were pushed off to the side.  I was determined to make the cookies this year and can now check them off my bucket list.

    My son’s Kindergarten class got a big kick out of them and I thought they were really fun to make.  You get to give each snowman their own little personality.  Have fun! (more…)

  3. Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies and the 2012 Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap

    December 12, 2012 by Liz

    When I found out about the Cookie Swap I was so excited.  To me it sounded like such a fun way to discover other bloggers and a great way to kick off some holiday baking.  The big question of course was what am I going to make?  I mean, these cookies are going to other bloggers who I don’t know so they better be good.  I scoured the web looking for the perfect recipe and decided that since  I’ve never made a Peanut Butter cookie and I love Chocolate I’ll combine the two and call it a day.

  4. Soy Sauce Brined Turkey

    November 18, 2012 by Liz

    We used this recipe last year for Thanksgiving at my in-laws and it was sooo good.  The turkey was juicy, flavorful and I’ve been waiting all year to share it with you.

    Unfortunately, I didn’t take any pictures then and we’re going to a friends house this year so I wasn’t really sure how or when I would make a turkey before Thanksgiving. (more…)

  5. Eggplant Parmesan Stacks

    November 16, 2012 by Liz

     

    I’ve been receiving so many yummy winter vegetables from my CSA the last couple of weeks.  Heaps of Eggplant and Butternut Squash, Apples and Persimmons.  Eggplant Parmesan is a favorite but, it’s kind of a pain in the neck to make.  All that frying is soo messy and really not so good for your heart or your waistline.  Enter in this delicious and easy lightened up version.  (more…)
