Yesterday was the first Easter in a long time that I didn't fix the traditional ham dinner. We had been to a Memorial service for Chris' Grandma on Saturday and there was a ton of food left over. So, we had leftover fried chicken, lasagna and caesar salad for Easter dinner! Thanks to my friend Eliza mentioning it on Facebook, I discovered the site Give Every Night New Flavor, which looks to be a collaboration between ConAgra Foods and participating grocery store chains. I picked Kroger because it's the only one on the list we have here in Lansing, and used the recipe search to come up with a few ideas for meals this week. I searched for Italian recipes that take 30 minutes or more and serve 4 or more and found a Baked Ziti that only calls for 5 ingredients - my kind of recipe!  Here's everything I'm making this week: Baked Ziti Casserole with steamed broccoli and garlic toast Betty Crocker Chile-Chicken Enchiladas with rice, chips and salsa Manwich Sloppy Joes, with … [Read more...]

Tabasco

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TABASCO® Original Red. All opinions are 100% mine. TABASCO® Original Red sauce has been a staple in my kitchen pantry for decades.

He puts it on tacos, pizza, and even adds more of it to hot wings!  Tabasco is made with just three simple ingredients - salt, red pepper and vinegar - that are aged for three years to produce a hot sauce that actually enhances the flavor of food. If you're having a Super Bowl party, check out Tabasco's Game-Day Party Menu where you'll find recipes for pizza, wings, 35 different kinds of chili, dips, and finger foods like this twist on classic Chex Mix.

Healthy Choice is helping me feel better!

It's no secret that I am overweight. Obese, actually, according to my doctor's official height and weight chart. It's been a struggle for me for over 20 years. I have signed up for "weight watching" (you know what I mean) more times than I can count, every time I think "this time it's going to work!", but it never does. And I think the reason why is because I am not good at preparing meals for myself. My biggest problem is lunch. I do okay at breakfast with a bowl of cereal and my coffee, and I cook a full dinner for five people every night (well, unless Chris cooks and on Friday when we have pizza - okay, ALMOST every night), but at lunchtime? I just never have any idea what to do. I get bored eating meat and cheese on bread with some carrots on the side...snore. I want a hot meal, or a meal with a variety of flavors, and I'm just not that creative at it. When Healthy Choice asked me to participate in their "Getting Better for BlogHer" campaign last summer, they sent me a … [Read more...]
