Watermelon and Feta Salad

July 20th, 2015Tina6 Comments

Summer, summer, summertime. This past weekend we spent some time with my family on our annual Lake George, NY trip. It was four fun days of food, pool, shopping, food, food, and more food. Needless to say, I have the need to detox, without actually doing a real detox program because I can’t last two hours on those. The next best thing to a detox (or in my opinion, THE best thing) is to turn to a healthy salad. I’ll be frank, I’m sick of lettuce salads right now so I turned to one of my favorite summertime fruits, watermelon. …

Pasta, Zucchini and Garlic

Boy, my husband’s Cinnamon Rolls and Sticky Buns are sure hard to follow. The reality is that not every recipe will be as exciting as those. I mean, I gave them a 38 hat rating on a 5 hat scale! That’s the first time I’ve done that in the history of my blog. Those cinnamon goodies were quite the treat. My waistline tells me that it’s time to get back to my healthy eating routine and that’s where this summer pasta meal comes in. Sometimes when I’m lazy and crave carbs I whip up some pasta and simply add some Parmesan cheese to it. …

The cinnamon roll vs sticky bun debate rages on… If you missed the Cinnamon Roll post and prefer your rolls of cinnamon to be simply glazed instead of sticky and gooey, then head on back to that post here. I assure you that you will not be disappointed. If you did catch it then you must have been anxiously awaiting these. Without further ado, I leave in you in goods with my husband… As a kid wandering the mall with my dad and brother we would often follow our noses to the T.J. Cinnamons that was somewhere off to the side …

Cinnamon Rolls

Guys, I couldn’t be more excited to share today’s recipe with you… seriously excited, like you just told a kid they’re going to Disney World kind of excited. I’ll refrain from the screams and eeks, but I’m telling you right now that this is absolutely my favorite recipe this year so far. My husband is the brains behind this creation so I’ll happily turn it over to him. Excuse me while I grab my fat pants. If preparing to make this recipe has taught me anything, it’s that cinnamon roll recipes are as widely varied as they are a pain in the butt …

Turbo Pizza

By the time you’re done reading this post you could have been well on your way to homemade pizza. Less than 30 minutes start to finish, including pizza dough from scratch! I kid you not… I’m very serious when it comes to pizza. 😉 I asked my husband “How long does it take to make pizza?” He replied “A few hours, why?” I answered “Never mind.” but had that sad puppy dog look in my eyes. Clearly I was asking because I was in the mood for pizza, but was not in the mood to wait. Conveniently my husband had stumbled into a possible solution …
