Zucchini Bread

August 26th, 2015Tina6 Comments

Good friends share good things with you. I’ve never made zucchini bread before. In hindsight that sounds crazy because it seems like an obvious quick bread to turn to this time of the year (or when zucchini is in season). I turned to the trusty interwebs to look for a recipe and I couldn’t find one that I liked. I mentioned this zucchini bread dilemma to my friend from kickboxing class and she recommended a recipe. Yup, I take kickboxing class… hiyah. I might have mentioned it a couple of times here on TCC. When I started the class I wasn’t sure if …

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 …

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

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 …

Cold Sweet Potato Salad

August 12th, 2015Tina0 Comments

How many times have you said to yourself, “Why didn’t I think of that?” That’s what I said to myself when I saw this recipe. Duh… turn a classic potato salad into a sweet potato salad! Please tell me that I’m not the last person on Earth who knew about this. Please… The sweet potatoes are coated in a simple oil and vinegar dressing. I love that there is no mayo in this salad, unlike many other cold salads that you notoriously see this time of the year. I’ll eat potato salad covered in mayonnaise and even enjoy it, but I’m really …
