My husband and I go to Marlow’s (a restuarant down the street) a lot!  We always order the shrimp-crab nachos as an appetizer.   One day I decided to take on the challenge and recreate these delicious little chips at home.  I did not use shrimp and found that the key to this is FRESH, FRESH, [...]

Making homemade granola is A LOT easier than I ever anticipated.  Actually, now that I have made it, I won’t buy the other stuff.  My husband and I love this recipe and eat it in the morning in yogurt or milk.   Sometimes I pack a little bag of it for a snack on the way [...]

Tortellini-Sausage Soup

Posted in Main Event, Soups & Stews, light & healthy on February 14, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I think I make this about once a month in the fall and winter.  It is a great “go to” soup that comes together in a snap and is easy on the budget.  You can serve it with a hearty bread to soak up all the yummness…(yes that’s my new word).   This makes plenty of [...]

Black-Eyed Pea Salsa

Posted in Apps & Teasers!, Greenies, light & healthy on December 31, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Happy New Year!!!  I figured the only appropriate food to post for New Year’s (beside champagne) was a recipe using black-eyed peas.  Being from Texas, having the Mexican influence on food was something I was very accustomed too.  This is one of my favorite New Year foods (probably because it is sooo fresh!).  Before you ring in the [...]

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 [...]
