Blue Cheese Bacon Endive

Posted in Apps & Teasers! on November 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I made this up one evening when reading a book on flavors my brother gave to me.  Endive is something I do not use often, however, it is very good when paired with bacon and blue cheese.  The endive act like little boats that hold in all the delicious flavors of the blue cheese and [...]

Melon Skewers

Posted in Apps & Teasers!, light & healthy on October 26, 2009 | 1 Comment »

This is a traditional paring of flavors in Italian cooking.   This recipe makes me think of my grandfather from Italy.  I came up with this version over the summer when the melons were on sale.  If you want to do a very easy version purchase pre-cut melons at the grocery store.

Recipe Rise’s Pimento Cheese Spread

Posted in Apps & Teasers!, light & healthy on September 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I have to admit I never was a fan of pimento cheese until I moved to Georgia and discovered many people enjoy pimento cheese if made properly.  I have found, what I think, is the perfect recipe and with a hint of  Texas laced throughout each bite.  A little kick in each bite reminds me [...]

Amazing Guacamole!!

Posted in Apps & Teasers!, Greenies, light & healthy, Snacks & Munchies on September 24, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Guacamole is one of my favorite indulgences.  Guac, for short, can be very tasty if made with fresh avocados and super fresh ingredients.   I love when restaurants have table -side guacamole you can order.  The waiter literally comes, chops the avocado up and mashes it together in front of you.  They add some onion, jalapeno [...]

Roasted Garlic Spinach Dip

Posted in Apps & Teasers!, light & healthy on September 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Houston’s restaurant makes fantastic spinach-artichoke dip served alongside salsa and sour cream.  It is one of those dishes that I crave and have to get my fix a few times a year.  Although this is not Houston’s it is pretty close.   We had some good friends over for dinner and they decided it was “blog [...]

Rise’s Chicken Tenders

Posted in Apps & Teasers!, light & healthy, Main Event on September 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I love chicken tenders, but fried is not the most healthy way to enjoy these.  I bake them and use Honey Bunches of Oats cereal as the coating.   It is delicious and crunchy!  These are favorite for kids too.  I like to dip them in my honey mustard sauce (search blog under sauces)  and serve it with the [...]

Bacon Calzones

Posted in Apps & Teasers!, Main Event on August 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

This recipe was created when I had only bacon in my fridge and needed some dinner fast!  It can be easily doubled to serve 4 or tripled if you need it.   The flavors really match well in this dish and do not skip out with dried herbs.  Fresh is the way to go.  Enjoy!

Mexican Stuffed Portabella

Posted in Apps & Teasers!, Greenies, light & healthy, Main Event on June 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

If I can find a reason to stuff a mushroom I will.  For some reason mushrooms are so much more attractive to me when stuffed…I am not sure why but it is the truth.  I took my favorite cuisine, Mexican, and added it to the portabella mushroom.  It takes no time to put these together [...]

Pesto Chicken Pizza

Posted in Apps & Teasers!, light & healthy, Main Event on May 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Homemade pizza is a regular in our house.  I normally make dough in the bread machine and freeze it for a fast weeknight meal.  If you do not have a bread machine you can purchase a ball of dough for about $2 at most grocery store bakeries.   Use the basic basil pesto for this pizza.   [...]
