Cooking with A Side of Art
Good day, folks. How’s this week going for you so far? It’s going pretty fantastic for me. One exciting thing going on is the giveaway I am currently hosting with some fabulous gals. Another awesome thing happening this week is a visit from my mom. She is coming to stay with us for a few days. [...]
Good Friday morning, folks. Boy am I glad the weekend is almost here. It’s been a BUSY week. I started a blogging schedule to make things a little smoother in my life. Monday, Wednesdays and Saturdays (and sometimes Fridays, if time permits) are designated blogging days. Emails, posts and parties will be addressed on those [...]
One grain that I really enjoy creating recipes with is quinoa. It’s delicious in cold salad recipes, as a warm side and even when made into patties. Lately I’ve seen a lot of quiona patty recipes so I decided that I would one day create my own quinoa patty recipe. And I did just that on Saturday. [...]
I love cheese. From the smooth, creamy texture and taste of brie cheese to the sharp, thick texture and taste of sharp cheddar, you could say I’m well-rounded in my love of variety of cheeses. So naturally, I’m a huge fan of cheesecake. Turtle, raspberry, chocolate, cheery, plain. You name it, I probably like it. [...]
Sometimes I enjoy jumping on the low carb bandwagon. It’s an easy way to lose a few pounds and I actually feel better when I eat low carb. You see, I have issues with lower abdominal pain. It always seems to happen after I eat food. When I did low carb and cut out a [...]
I’ve always had a love affair with carbs. Bread. Pasta. Potatoes. Cupcakes. Cookies. Brownies. Beer. Those are a few of my favorite things. But we all know that carbs aren’t exactly the best thing for us to eat. They can be pretty unhealthy, especially when the carbs consumed consist of refined carbs and they aren’t [...]
Have you heard of or tried the power food quinoa? If not, you may be asking yourself just what exactly is quinoa and why is it called a power food. Quinoa is a gluten free grain that’s packed with antioxidants, hence the label “power food.” It’s an excellent nutritional food for vegetarians and vegans because [...]
I am one sushi loving gal. Seriously. I could live off of the stuff. With so many flavor combinations, it’s pretty hard to get sick of. When I eat sushi, I usually eat it at a restaurant or I pick it up from the seafood department of my grocery store. I even tried to make [...]
One of my favorite items at Mexican restaurants is the shredded beef. It tasted great in tacos, enchiladas and chili rellanos. It’s tender and it has great flavor. I recenlty decided to make my own version of this tasty meat and it turned out rather well. We used the meat in tacos. It went well [...]
Meatloaf. The versatile meal that can be prepared in many different ways. I’ve tasted many delicious meatloaves and I’ve tasted some pretty bland ones. I’ve made some pretty rad ones but I don’t recall ever making any bad ones. Heh Heh, I just made a rhyme. Recently I decided to make a BBQ meatloaf with [...]
