Corn Guacamole

May 27th, 2015Tina20 Comments

This is my first time making guacamole. Holy guacamole… I bet that’s the first time you’ve ever heard that one. 😉 I buy plenty of avocados. I patiently wait for them to ripen. (Patiently… lol… I’m funny.) Then I cut them open and… eat them immediately with a little salt and pepper. Yup, the simple truth is that we can never keep them around long enough for me to do anything fun with them. Can you blame me? Avocado, salt, and pepper… it’s so silly simple but so darn delicious. Well, that ends right here, right now. I’m turning yummy avocado …

Cranberry Sparkler

May 25th, 2015Tina14 Comments

Summer is practically here. I realized that every summer since I started this blog, I’ve posted about a refreshing beverage… one that I’m obsessed over. You know, the one that you pretty much drink every… single… day. This summer it’s cranberry and bubbles. Throw some lime in there and the refreshment levels are positively stratospheric. Is this even a real recipe? It seems so simple that I feel like I’m cheating here. However, I never knew about this tasty concoction until I met my husband so that means there’s a chance you don’t know about it either. So this is a “recipe” …

Pancakes

TGIF… and it’s a long weekend! Most people are gearing up for the start of BBQ season this weekend, getting the hamburgers, hot dogs, and various BBQ fixings ready. However, I’ve got breakfast on the brain, pancakes to be exact. Recently I realized that a pancake recipe has not made an appearance on Tina’s Chic Corner. What the what? I mean, pancakes are one of my faves. Typically my husband makes pancakes using Bisquick with the recipe on the back of the box. While the Bisquick ones are tasty, I wasn’t going to post something that was pretty much just add milk and eggs …

Best… Brownies… Ever

Welcome to my new series, the Best Ever! Here’s the scoop… What’s it about? After many years of cooking and two plus years of having a food blog, I’ve come to realize that a recipe falls into one of a few categories. One, the recipe is gross and you will never see it here because I only share the good stuff with you. (Not mysteriously, you have no idea how many things I’ve made that fall into this category. My husband points out that you should trust that to be a good thing.) Two, the recipe is great and I love it at …

Strawberry Mango Smoothie

I hope you guys aren’t getting sick of smoothie recipes because I’ve got another fab one for you. How crazy cute are these glasses!?! I just bought them from the Home Goods store on Friday for $3.50 each. Of course I needed an excuse to use them right away and thought this fun smoothie was the perfect way. Get it? Tropical fruit in a smoothie, palm trees on an adorable cup? It’s been over a month since I shared a smoothie recipe with you. That’s enough time in between, right? If you’re a smoothie junkie like me then I know you’ll appreciate another. If you’re …
