I'll just warn you right now, if you don't like chocolate, this may not be for you. However if you are a serious lover of rich, creamy, chocolately-ness, you'll fall in love all over again. I must admit I skipped dinner tonight so I could have a bowl of this. If that's wrong, I don't wanna be right. I type a word or two, then take a bite. Then I type another thought, and take a . . .

Let’s Talk Turkey Tacos (or nachos!)
While perusing some of my favorite blogs, I came across a post for a Lime, Cilantro, Yogurt Sauce at The Slow Roasted Italian. I was immediately on the path to fajita or taco heaven. Sometimes the best recipes start with what you have in the fridge. I had lime, cilantro, sugar and salt, and I always have plain Greek Yogurt so I went on the hunt to find a great turkey taco recipe. . . .

Black Rice Vegetable Stir Fry
My fashion style (if you can call it "fashion" or even "style") has always been very monochromatic (I’m no fashionista!) While I tend to dress in similar color families I usually like a lot of color variety in the food I prepare and eat. This predominately purple dish doesn’t exactly have a lot of color variety, but the flavors and textures are screaming for attention. . . . Continue Reading
Pistachio Ice Cream
I've been thinking about this ice cream for a long time so when the weather forecast called for a high of 89, well you know. How much more of an excuse do I need? The only thing I had to figure out was how to make Pistachio paste. I mentioned this to my lovely blog daughter Sarah who's posting over at the Smart Kitchen. Sarah is the queen of all things hummus and nut butter. Sarah . . .

Chocolate Brownies (gluten free!)
I've been a big believer in Duncan Hines Fudge Brownie mix for a long time. I took them to work events and everybody loved them. But that was before I made these homemade brownies. Nobody would ever know they're gluten free. They're moist and rich, fudgy and absolutely perfect. These brownies were a great ending to our Easter . . . Continue Reading
Thai Coconut Chicken
"There's a snake in my boot!" Why is that line stuck in my head? It'll go away for a day or two then bang, it's back. Can you name the movie? I guess I'm going to have to watch it so I can purge this line from my memory. Or I'm going to have to go check my boots. Sorry. I got off track. With Traveling Husband taking over a . . .

Cookie Dough Balls
Hardwood mulch was on sale at Home Depot this weekend. We bought two pickup truck loads of mulch. We spread a bunch of mulch. Now my rear end hurts, so bad. I've developed a close personal relationship with a bottle of Aleve. Good thing I'll sit at my desk and work inside for a few days. We may not be able to move now but are happy we got so much done in the yard. The garden is . . . Continue Reading
