I discovered the strangest thing in my spaghetti squash this weekend. The seeds had sprouted inside of the squash! I had never seen anything like that. How could they sprout with any sunlight? They were locked in tight inside that spaghetti squash flesh! I planted a few outside my laundry room door to see if… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

Garlic Parmesan Edamame
I'm not really sure how to eat edamame. I typically use shelled edamame in my cooking. I love stirring it into stir-fries and rice. But whole edamame? It's a mystery to me. I bought a couple of bags of the stuff the other day at the grocery store, intent on figuring out what to do… Continue reading Garlic Parmesan Edamame

You can find the orangey cheese spread in multiple places at… Continue reading Pimiento Cheese Poppers

I've been known to kill just about every plant I've ever owned. Even a fern. A FERN. Something that's virtually unkillable. So, I followed the instructions and took it with a… Continue reading Pork Chops with Herby Mustard
Jalapeno Popper Chicken
Cream cheese is a godsend. I'm constantly impressed with the versatility of it. It's been used in my cheesecakes (duh), lemon bars, icing, casseroles, and stuffed chicken. There's usually a block of the stuff hanging out in the back of my fridge. I use cream cheese so often it's a mainstay on my grocery lists.… Continue reading Jalapeno Popper Chicken
