Turkey Slop!

Ok, I know what you’re thinking. It’s been a while since I’ve posted. And honestly? It’s been a while since I’ve spent quality time in my kitchen. I blame it on grad school.
Anyway, today I had a hankering to cook something up and remembered a recipe on Ross Mathews’ blog. It was pretty much a [...]

Vegetable Soup

Nothing says fall like preparing a big pot of soup or chili after work. Last night was soup, vegetable soup to be exact. Mandy helped me determine what to include over IM that afternoon and I did the rest. It turned out great and was quick to prep! Here’s my yummy Vegetable Soup recipe, enjoy!
Ingredients:

Meg’s Favorite Rub

If you are looking for ways to “spice up” your meats, you must mix up a batch of this rub for yourself. Hands down, this is the best rub I have ever tried. If I could give you a money back guarantee on this rub I would, but I can’t, so you’ll just have to take my [...]

Deconstructed Kabobs

Over the weekend I was craving grilled chicken kabobs, but didn’t have access to a grill and went to bed with an unfulfilled craving. Monday morning, on my way to work, I had an A-HA [Take On Me, Take Me On] moment. I’d “deconstruct” the “perfect kabobs” I created in my head the day before [...]

Blueberry mini-pies

I was looking for something to make for my husband’s birthday – and that is tricky because he doesn’t prefer your traditional birthday cake.  Growing up he always asked for a pudding dessert, which is his mom’s special treat to him.  I’ve always known his favorite pie is blueberry, but he’s never really asked for [...]

Bruschetta

One of my first “experiments” in the kitchen, several years ago, was Bruschetta. It turned out to be a huge hit and is something that friends beg me to make. Of course, I always oblige, because I can’t eat enough of it. On toasted baguette slices, atop pasta, by itself. Nom Nom Nom! It’s fresh, [...]

Peanut Butter + Oreos = Deliciousness

If you haven’t heard of The Pioneer Woman, RUN over to her site right after you finish reading this recipe! From the first picture I saw of her Peanut Butter Oreo Pie, I knew I had to whip one up to take to work. Then I read the ingredients and saw it combined ALL of [...]

Excellent Egg Rolls

These egg rolls from HG are amazing, easy to make, and go along wonderfully with Cashew Chicken.  And they are healthy! Tip**These are big enough for a whole meal, cut in half for normal egg roll portions.   Click on the picture for the recipe.

Better than Starbucks

One of my favorite things from Starbucks was the Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino – until I found out it had over 400 calories and 17 grams of fat.  And that was just in a tall! I found a copy cat recipe on Hungry-Girl.com that I had to try.  I knew that it would probably be [...]

Crazy for Cranergy

I will say that I am very picky about drinks.  I love water, but I need something in the morning to grab and go, to take to work or out shopping with me.  I used to just resort to a fountain Dr. Pepper since I don’t like most juices, until one day my friend suggested [...]
