No, I’m not referring to the movie. I am referring to the 12 must have organic fruits and vegetables. I’m sure you have noticed that organic items cost more than non-organic. Because of this, the Environmental Working Group has developed this list because the conventional option tend to carry high levels of pesticides even after…

Coconut Curried Chicken
Curry is one of those things you love or hate. With this dish, you can decide how much or how little you want. The coconut flavor is subtle, so I added some shredded coconut on top to bring it out some. This was a great meal that I served over rice. Coconut Curried ChickenAdapted from…
Crushed Mint Lemonade
Lemons are a plenty right now, so here comes some fresh lemonade. I was able to use some of the mint that I am growing. Unfortunately, I did not have the amount that the recipe below states, so the mint flavor was very subtle. This lemonade was great though. I suggest you make some for…
Red Velvet Cake Cheesecake
Have you tried this dessert at The Cheesecake Factory yet? I remember when we first tried it….we decided to get 1 piece to go since we were full and hadn’t tried it yet. We decided to try a forkful when we got home and had to fight each other off trying to keep the rest…
Pasta with Sausage, Bell peppers, and Basil
Not a very imaginative name for the title of a recipe, but there is no guessing, right? This is one of the recipes from my The Bon Appetit. I had this marked for awhile, but just got around to making it. We both liked it, plus I got a chance to use some fresh basil…
Almond Rhubarb Coffee Cake
I had some rhubarb left over from the Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler Pie I made and did not want it to go to waste. I went searching on Allrecipes and looked up rhubarb recipes. There were some interesting recipes, but I decided on this one, since I had all the ingredients except for the almonds. This…
Gift Cards Galore
#77 on my 101 in 1001 is “Use all gift cards in my possession”. I obviously have a problem with holding onto these things. This is what I have right now. Yeah that’s 4 Macy’s gift cards. All were wedding gifts over a year ago. I tried to get Mr. G to join me in…
Dirty Broccoli
Yeah, that name doesn’t really sound appetizing does it? But believe me, it sure is good. Mr. G even liked this and I wasn’t too sure if he would (he’s trying to eat more vegetables). This was simple to make and puts a different spin on steamed broccoli. Dirty BroccoliAdapted from Ellie Krieger’s The Food…
Turkey Sausage Breakfast Pie
I had the urge to make a breakfast dish that would last a couple of days so I did what I normally do. Head over to my Goggle Reader to browse through 200+ recipes I have saved (so much to cook; so little time). I read this one and decided, this was it. This reminded…
Mother’s Day for the Rest of Us
Some people may find it strange that those of us who have lost a baby want to be recognized on Mother’s Day too. We may not have a child in our arms, but we have angel babies watching over us in heaven. It doesn’t matter if someone was 6 weeks or full-term, a loss is…
