Turbo Pizza

July 10th, 2015Tina8 Comments

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 …

Malibu and Pineapple

By show of virtual hands, who else thinks that this week is going by too slowly? Perhaps this week feels like it’s dragging because last week was a short work week with the holiday. Or maybe it’s because I am dreading jury duty tomorrow and I really, really, really don’t want to be called in. Does anyone actually like being called for jury duty? While I patiently wait for the upcoming weekend (patient…lol…I’m funny), I’ll reminisce about this lovely cocktail that I enjoyed last weekend. Yes, I just shared a cocktail recipe with you last week, but this one is completely different. …

Say hello to this awesome one pot wonder meal. It was so nice to have a long weekend, but even with the one extra day off from work it still wasn’t long enough. Why is that? We may never know. We had a great time at our family BBQ on Saturday. Family, food, booze… total no brainer that it was a blast. Anyway, my husband’s cousin and I got to talking about my blog and she asked if I had any easy, quick, and protein packed recipes. Oh, and it has to be kid friendly. That’s a tall order, but …

Strawberry Daiquiri

Red, white, and blue… Yup, I went there. I don’t always match my food with the appropriate holiday theme, but when I do, I go all out. 😉 Since the 4th of July is all about family time around the BBQ and having an iced beverage to cool down, I instantly had the idea of sharing a cocktail recipe with you to celebrate the occasion. I wanted to make a red, white, and blue cocktail but that seemed to involve too many kinds of alcohol and too much preparation. Who has that kind of time? It’s not that you’re not worth it, …

Quinoa Salad

July 1st, 2015Tina8 Comments

The 4th of July is like Thanksgiving in July, but with different foods. You know what I mean, right? This coming weekend is BBQ weekend here in America. Almost everyone will be hosting one or going to one. There will likely be loads of fattening food choices for you to choose from. Everything from barbecued meats to baked beans to potato and pasta salads. You will pig out, you will feel sick, you’ll swear that you’ll never want to eat again, and then before you know it you are going for second and third helping. Sound familiar to Thanksgiving dinner? …
