Potato Soup – Good For The Soul.

In winter time it is hard to imagine anything better than an nice hot bowl of soup. This is a great recipe that can be made in advance and eaten for as long as you still have a hankering for it. This started out as a recipe I found online. It had WAY too much [...]


Curried Zuchini Soup

This was really tasty! I found a base recipe online and then had to modify it of course. Here is the final delicious result. Even Janille – who is not a squash fan – ate it and said it was good. And unlike some of my soups that you must eat in moderation if your [...]


Musaman Chicken Curry – couldn’t be any easier

Musaman curry is very easy to make and oh so delicious. It can be made vegetarian or with chicken beef or even Shrimp if you like
If you are not familiar with Thai food, this is a great one to start with. It is very easy to make and I’ve never met anyone yet who did [...]


Awesome Steak Rub For Grilling – my personal favorite dry rub

I know that I just got done talking about doing more vegetarian meals – which I fully intend to do – but this is a recipe that I had intended on putting up before and just never finished. So I’m going to somewhat hypocritically post it now – with the assurance that I’m not going [...]


My First All Vegetarian Meal – at least of my own creation

Typically I’m a meat eater. I know that it is not always the best for me – but I love it. So setting to out to make a vegetarian meal was a stretch. But I happen to buy the wrong ingredient for another recipe I was making and thus ended up with a bunch of [...]


Lime Rickey – the “boring” alternative

Every once in a while, some times more than more often than not it seems lately, I like to indulge from my weight loss topics and write about the funner side of food. Now, I’m not one that excludes anything from my diet really – moderation in all things as they say – but I [...]


Cafe Rio Sweet Pulled Pork alternative – got the recipe back from the grave!

Lucky for me my mother saved this recipe for me. I had this Cafe Rio sweet pulled pork alternative recipe posted on my blog and then the server got erased! And the last back-up I had was 2 weeks old. So this recipe was a gonner. Thankfully my mother loves me and happen to save [...]


Potato & Leek Soup

Potato & Leek Soup
This is a traditional Irish Soup commonly used in Ireland. It is a little thin, as it is a puree, and it it all veggies and milk products. So not as filling as some soups can be – which is not good from a weight management strategy, but it is very taste [...]


Rave reviewed baba ghanoush

I’ve been working on my Baba Ghanoush for a little while now and I think that I’ve hit a home run now. Even the teenagers I tested it out on loved it (well most of them any way).
But 2 nights ago I tested it on some very refined pallets (some of whom had actually eaten [...]


Easily one of my top 10 soups – Mushroom and Pumpkin Curry Soup

This is one of the oddest mixtures but it really works well. I got the original idea from a recipe book and have improved on it in my opinion:) I usually make enough to eat it for 3 days, and even at the end I’m not tired of it.
Like al of the recipes I post, [...]
