Cowboy Caviar

Football season is starting soon and I’m excited to have some football food. You know about “football food,” right? It’s beer, pizza, nachos, dips, chips, and other delicious fattening foods that one typically eats at a game party. Even if you don’t like sports you’d probably still be willing to go to the party to enjoy the food. It’s that good. My contribution to the next game party would be this amazing bean salad. Side bar for a moment… Can we marvel at my culinary cutting skills for a moment? It took me FOREVER to cut them all just right. Okay, maybe not literally forever …

Craving Fall

August 21st, 2015Tina2 Comments

Is it too early to talk about Fall stuff? If you think so, then we’ll politely part ways today and we’ll resume this conversation in a month. 🙂 If you think it’s totally cool to talk about Fall even though it’s still August, then we’ve just become BFFs and you should definitely read on. I’m looking forward to the Fall so I’m taking a slight detour from salads, ice cream, and all things having to do with summer. This post is sort of like sharing what Stuff I’m Into, except this it’s dedicated to all the things that I’m looking forward to for …

Chicken Kale Pasta

I woke up this morning thinking that it was Thursday. What a cruel world it was when I realized that it was only Wednesday. I should probably be enjoying these last few hot days of summer instead of wishing them away. Maybe it’s a bit too hot for me so I’d rather seek refuge in my air conditioned home. After all I’m safe there. It’s a place where I can be on the couch and cuddled under a light blanket. Wow, that makes me sound like a lazy schmuck. Don’t judge me. 😉 Anyway, hot days call for light meals …

Tropical Banana Smoothie In A Bowl

August 17th, 2015Tina1 Comment

Alright Monday, let’s do this thing. I haven’t had a smoothie in a while. Remember when I was on a smoothie kick and I shared several smoothie recipes with you in a short period of time? At that time I probably should have temporarily rebranded Tina’s Chic Corner to be Tina’s Smoothie Corner. It’s only fair. My husband fake rebrands his Bread Corner as often as the mood suits him. 🙂 I’m bringing smoothies back. I should have taken advantage of the calorie free weekend. You know, because calories don’t count on the weekends. Instead, I decided to eat a …

Stuff I’m Into

August 14th, 2015Tina0 Comments

I had every intention of sharing a recipe with you today, but let’s just say things didn’t work out as I had planned this past weekend. I had more recipe failures than one should be allowed to experience in one weekend. I’ll take it as a learning experience. #1 Do NOT trust your memory. Even if you think you have an ingredient at home, pick it up anyway. A backup is never a waste. I live 15 minutes away from the nearest grocery store and on principle I refused to make the trip for 1 stinking can of diced tomatoes. #2 Lightened homemade ice …
