Hi, I’m Lisa from Cooking with Curls. Julie has graciously allowed me to join you today, and I am so excited to be here! I met Julie during the Spiked! Recipe Challenge and I have totally fallen in love with her blog. I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity, thank you so much! I am [...]
It’s no secret that I like healthy foods. But it’s also no secret that I love to indulge in sweets, pastas and breads. But too much of the sweets, pastas and breads isn’t very complimenting to the waistline. It’s all about moderation, folks. And moderation is something I lost around Christmas time. It’s actually pretty rare that I [...]
Today I’m sharing a pasta recipe with you, which is quite ironic because I started the low carb diet again on Saturday. But I made this last weekend so I’m ok. There isn’t any carb cheating going on. Why low carb, you might ask? Well, I’m actually a pretty fit individual. I am still what [...]
Eggplant is one of my favorite vegetables. I enjoy it grilled, baked and fried. When I went through my vegetarian phase, I ordered vegetarian gyros that were filled with eggplant, roasted red peppers and feta. Have you ever tried Moussaka? It’s a delicious Greek dish that you must try if you haven’t. I want to [...]
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’ve come across a few good recipes that require using roasted poblano peppers. I’ve also made recipes that require roasted poblano peppers. These reicpes include stuffed poblano peppers (I will be making that again one day so I can post it on my blog) Roasted Poblano & Crab Chowder, and Chili Rellano Casserole. I know [...]
One of my favorite snacks to munch on is granola. I enjoy both chewy and crunchy granola in bar or broken up form. Plain or dressed with fruit, nuts or chocolate are all quite swell. It’s a filling snack that satisfies those afternoon sweet cravings without the loads of sugar and empty carbs. It’s also [...]
A few weeks ago we went to a fancy restaurant for dinner. When I say fancy, I mean $30-$50 per plate fancy. We don’t usually go to usually dine at establishments that are that expensive but a gift card brought us there. The food was definitely worth the price. Presentation and taste were superb. I had [...]
Tomatoes. Me and Tomatoes go way back. I used to HATE tomatoes. Well, I should clarify; I used to hate raw tomatoes. I liked canned tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, ketchup, basically any tomato in its cooked form but if it was raw, or if it tasted anything like a raw tomato, I thought it was horrible. [...]
