Happy Halloween! Tonight I handed out this junk to our twenty or so trick-or-treaters. Aww, I love my little skeleton guy. These are actually the leftovers. Must give this away soon so I don’t eat it. I figured that since this is a food blog I should discuss more food in this post. Last night … Continue reading
Halloween weekend is a big deal and Saturday is the big night this year. Morning fuel consisted of scrambled eggs, sausage, rye toast, and an apple with caramel. Before I knew it, I was again putting on my Black Swan costume and getting ready to go out with Five Cent Femme, who dressed as a … Continue reading
Friday I took advantage of Latte Day at Espresso Royale – a skim latte. The only sandwich better than a Maize & Blue Deli sandwich is a FREE Maize & Blue Deli sandwich! Leftover catering at work made a delicious lunch. We even had leftovers of my favorite MBD sammie: #27 – Cindy’s Daily with … Continue reading
This is another “everything-I-ate-today” post. Thursday morning necessitated, as always, Espresso Royale coffee. Typical lunch for me lately: Fage yogurt with honey and granola (a few craisins, too) and a frozen Indian entrée. I have a slight obsession with paneer ever since Aarti discussed it on the FoodNet. It’s a fresh, mild Indian cheese you … Continue reading
This weekend I made cookies. Lots of cookies. Pumpkin cookies. Ninety-eight, to be exact. Yeah, that means I sat through four 14-minute cycles of baking two cookies sheets at a time. Weeeeee! It was my section’s turn to bring a snack to orchestra this week, so I decided to make a double batch of cookies … Continue reading
It just wouldn’t be the beginning of a new week without my weekend nomming update, amirite?! Friday, hitting up a semi-quaint bar for cocktail hour was attempted, but, not wanting to wait for a table, my dining companion and I hopped across State Street and hit up Buffalo Wild Wings for some dranks and nibbles … Continue reading
Shrimp. Something I despised until only recently. The texture. The whole deveining procedure. The funky tails. Just the whole thing weirded me out. When I would tell people that I didn’t like shrimp, shock and awe was the common reaction elicited. Yet, somehow, in only the last year or so, I’ve become a huge fan … Continue reading
Did you know that I love cornbread? If not, then now you do. If you also enjoy cornbread, you’ll love this recipe that I found for Chicken Tamale Casserole from Cooking Light. In preparation for cooking this dish on a week night, I baked and shredded boneless skinless chicken breast during the weekend and stored … Continue reading
Eek. After a weekend out of town, I came home to find these bad boys – super ripe ‘naners. Naturally, I had to bake something with them. I found a recipe on Sparkpeople.com, which was originally from the American Institute for Cancer Research, for these lower-calorie, relatively healthy Banana Oatmeal Cookies. First, the dry ingredients: … Continue reading
This weekend I… …Ate at the stinkiest Fazoli’s ever. The state of Ohio reeks, in general. Besides the relentless rotten egg smell looming outside of Fazoli’s for at least two days straight, we also had a couple B.O. encounters in our hotel elevator. Gah!! …Ate at Fazoli’s for the first time in years. [ source … Continue reading
