Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes n’ Stuff

Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes I spent a lot of time in the hospital this week with family. I’ve read a total of 45 magazines (mostly quality ones like US Weekly or People) and watched more hours than I can count of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”. I finally got hold of the clicker and turned [...]

Corn Dog Good

I’ll admit, this isn’t my first corn dog. Shocked, aren’t you? This is however, my first attempt to make them a) from home and b) “healthy”. Corn dogs were considered a novelty item in my house growing up. My Mother hated novelty items and as a result we never experienced a lot of them ’till [...]

Mac N’ Cheesey

I hymned and hawd all week about what to make for tonight’s Good Friday Potluck at church. I was going to make chicken stuffed with spinach, but chicken is really expensive right now, so I opted not to do that. Then I thought “maybe I’ll make chili”, but its annoying to carry a plate and [...]

Sloppy Joe, Sloppy, Sloppy Joe

You remember the SNL skit back in, oh ’94 (!) when Adam Sandler and the late Chris Farley performed “Lunch Lady Land” don’t you? The chorus of the song goes something like this: Sloppy joe. Slop, sloppy joe. Sloppy joe. Slop, sloppy joe. Come on. Sloppy joe. Slop, sloppy joe. Yeah. Sloppy joe. I’ve been [...]

I started with tonight’s dinner: Whole-Wheat Pasta Salad with Walnuts and Feta Cheese. Yup, no meat in sight. To add insult-to-injury I served it [...]

Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip, and Pecan Cookies

Diet Food? Um, Sorta. It was a looooooong day at work today so I planned to come home and make some cookies for dessert.   I was craving chocolate and Andy has been begging me to make something that didn’t have flax seed or spinach in it.  So I purposely saved enough points throughout the day to [...]

Veggie Delight

It’s leap year, so technically today is an extra day! I celebrated by trying out a recipe I’ve always wanted to try: Spicy Black Bean and Zucchini over at Green Light Bites. Honestly, I really wasn’t prepared for it to knock my socks off because I thought I hated zucchini … well, I was wrong! [...]
