With all of the quinoa eating that’s been going on around here, I’m craving a burger 😉 Here’s one that we love to make when the burger urge strikes. This is a riff on Emeril’s Bamburgers and we’ve gotten in the habit of making them for the 4th of July. These are juicy, spicy, flavorful…
I’m sure you’ve all heard about (and probably sampled) Ben & Jerry’s “Chubby Hubby” ice cream. Well, this isn’t that. This is actually frozen yogurt (but you don’t have to tell anyone.) It’s rich and creamy and soooooo chocolaty. I used agave nectar in place of sugar in this recipe so you can rejoice while…
When I have my family over to celebrate a birthday I always let the guest of honor choose what they’d like for their birthday dinner and what kind of cake they want. This year my mom chose coconut cake (like she always does) and this delicious chicken dish that she orders whenever she dines at…

Swiss steak reminds me of when I was little and my grandparents would come to visit. They’d make up big batches of the stuff and we’d pile it on steaming hot sour cream mashed potatoes. Here’s a way to enjoy this comfort food meal without hardly any fuss. The slow cooker does all the work!…
Oh my goodness… My cooking regimen has become pretty lazy this last month or so. I’m all about getting in and out of the kitchen quickly, making as small of a mess as possible, and not heating up the whole house for hours on end. This is one of my favorite things to make in…
Okay, are you ready for REALLY easy? This is the easiest cheesecake I’ve ever made. The only part you bake is the graham cracker crust, and that takes 9 minutes. Is this healthy? No, it is not. It has Cool Whip in it, which I know whips some of you into a frenzy. I don’t…
