Some people get excited about politics. I get excited about barbecue sauce. I tried a really good one today. In fact, I love it so much that I’m inspired to write about it. Believe it or not, it’s Meijer brand. Imagine that! A store brand, and it’s this good. It’s their HABANERO barbecue sauce. If [...]
One of my favorite snacks to make is a tortilla pizza. You take a flour tortilla, spread some pizza sauce on it, then layer it with some pepperoni slices and sprinkle it with parmesan cheese. Bake it in the oven until it’s as crispy as you want it. I love these. I fold them in [...]
I had a Lean Cuisine frozen meal for lunch. I was craving spaghetti and meatballs, so I microwaved a Lean Cuisine “Spaghetti with meat sauce”. It wasn’t all that great. Not a lot of flavor to the sauce. They could have had more garlic, basil, oregano, fennel… more FLAVOR, without adding any fat or calories. [...]
Y’know that orange Tang drink powder? When I was a kid I used to sprinkle it on vanilla ice cream. It was really good. Tasted kinda like a creamsicle. The more I think about it, the more I want to try it again.Also, sometimes I see a flavor of ice cream in the stores called [...]
When I was in my early 20′s I liked raspberry flavored Crystal Light. Then I decided nutrasweet is a disgusting chemical I didn’t want anywhere near my body. Then I drank a lot of regular soda and gained more weight than I care to admit. Now I’m searching for lower calorie beverages that don’t taste [...]
I just realized I forgot to update you on whether I liked the spritzers I made. I mixed grape juice with club soda. I think next time I’ll try sparkling water instead. Something with no sodium in it. The club soda made it taste kind of strange. I liked the bubbles and the flavor of [...]
Anyone who knows me, knows I hate onions. I loathe them to the very core of my being, and it’s one of my pet peeves when people say “Oh, you can just pick them off.” Well, this evening at ABC group one of the specials was a BBQ pork hoagie. It sounded good, so I [...]
As soon as all the necessary ingredients chill properly, I’m going to try a spritzer. Club soda plus juice…. in this case, grape juice. It sounds classy, doesn’t it? Well, ok, maybe it’s just me. I’m going to pretend that it makes me intellectual and cultured. Hey, let me dream. Mostly I’m trying it because [...]
There was a party at Jason’s last night. He made some DELICIOUS risotto. I mean it was absolutely scrumptious. Yummy rich cheesy heaven. He even put chunks of chicken in it, that he had grilled outdoors. Jason loves to grill things. I love to eat grilled things. It’s a beautiful combination. Oh, and for dessert [...]
Anyone who knows me is familiar with my love of blueberries. Those suckers are awesome– WHEN they’re in season. Especially when they’re Michigan blueberries. I’m going to go get some in just a couple minutes. I hate summer because I hate any temperature over 70 degrees, but blueberry season is still one of my favorite [...]
