This Italian Bean and Tuna Salad is a great make ahead lunch dish! I don't know about you guys, but since the holiday season started a little over a month ago, I have gotten reacquainted with my fat pants. I hate getting reacquainted with my fat pants. They make me feel fat. Oh I can still squeeze myself into my regular pants, but I look like one of those gigantic muffins in ...

Corn and Potato Chowder with Bacon Grilled Cheese
My blogging buddy, Heather over at Gourmet Meals for Less, has teamed up with her sister to do a series called Sister Saturdays. And this Saturday is all about soup. And I love soup. So I took the challenge to make a delicious soup worthy of Gourmet for Less. Of course the one thing that goes with soup is a sandwich so I had to make a sandwich too! And of course everything is ...
PFB Challenge #2 – Chipotle Chicken Sushi (aka The EOTC Roll)
WooHoo! I made it past the first Foodbuzz Project Food Blog Challenge! You like me! You really like me!! Really, I am honored. So, for the next challenge we had to tackle a classic dish that was outside of our "comfort zone". So, spaghetti and meatballs wasn't an option. After Italy, the cuisine that is farthest from the deep South is either Asian or Indian ...
Sloppy Jacks
This past week has been crazy!All week I have been getting ready for the semi-annual kids consignment sale that my Moms of Multiples club puts on twice a year. I spent a very large portion of my time getting all of my kids old clothes, toys, and other child paraphernalia together, cleaned, put on hangers and tagged so that it could be sold all in one day. I also have been ...
Tomatoes stuffed with Tuna Curry Salad
It is crazy hot. It's so hot that the mere thought of going outside makes the sweat start to bead on my forehead. I can't tell you the last time I was cold. But one of the many characteristics of having children is that no matter what the weather, they must be entertained. The best place to entertain is outside. So, for the last couple of days we have been enjoying the ...
Tasty Tuna Burgers
I have a little confession. I LOVE tuna patties. Love them. I know. It's weird, but I can't help it. I also love cole slaw and I have been a bit of a cole slaw kick lately. So it seemed natural to me to put those two things together on a bun. Oh dear, it was such a good idea. I'm probably going to do it again soon. The best part about this meal is that it is quick and ...
Foodbuzz 24,24,24: Great Depression Cooking for the Recession Cook
I won't lie. Times are tough for us. We stress and worry over every penny that leaves our door. One illness or bad run of luck could ruin us. I don't think it's an uncommon thing these days. I think that during the current recession that there are a lot of people who have trouble making ends meet every month. But it also seems that whenever times get really tough, we tend to ...
It’s all Greek to Me – Chicken Souvlaki
For some reason, there are several foods that I only really enjoy when made into something. For example; I'm not a big tomato eater, but I love tomato sauce; I hate cabbage, but I could eat sauerkraut everyday; I think raw cucumbers are unappetizing, but I could eat enough tzatziki sauce to make me Greek. I'm weird, what can I say. So, anyway, if there is any culture that is ...
A Little Bit of Spring – Pasta Salad
I am totally over wintertime. I hate being cold all the time and as a tightwad I refuse to turn up the heat. I just want it to be sunny and warm outside. I am ready for Spring. Unfortunately, Spring is a long ways away. Today's weather was beautiful...until you went outside. It was bright and sunny and very cold. As I stared out the window I thought that I would love a nice ...
