Easy to make and delicious to eat, this Bratwurst and Potato Soup is the perfect stick-to-your-ribs fall or winter meal. What to do with bratwurst besides stick it in a bun and top it with peppers and onions, is a question that I have thought to myself on more than one occasion. I love using bratwurst as a delicious change of pace from Italian sausage. We love our ...

Moroccan Meatball Lettuce Wraps
Moroccan Meatball Lettuce Wraps are an easy way to shake up your weeknight dinners. Meatballs are infused with smoky, fragrant spices and paired with refreshing tabbouleh in this take on Moroccan cuisine. I go through ethnic phases with my food cravings. Sometimes all I want is Southern-style food with it’s cheese and greens and bacon grease. Sometimes all I can think ...
Pizza Pasta and the Incredible Shrinking Woman
Happy New Year! I'm only about 2 weeks late on that one. I hope 2012 has gotten off to as good a start for you as it has for me. For the first time...ever I think...I have stuck to my resolutions so far. The most exciting part? I've lost 5 pounds. WooHoo! Five down, 25 to go. I've been putting a lot of focus on not eating like a pig and not drinking like a fish, both of which ...
Stuffed Mini Meat Loaves
Here is another favorite from the Working Woman's Cookbook. I am seriously in love with this "vintage" book. I can't stop making recipes out of it! You know what else I love? Cheese. Anything with cheese is an automatic favorite of mine. Lucky for me, Cabot Cheese likes me enough to send me a few samples of their new snack cheese. I got some reduced fat cheddar and some ...
Meatcicles
That's right I said meatcicles. Like popcicles, but with meat instead of...um...pop. The inspiration came from Top Chef. (Do you watch it? If you do, let me just tell you that I'm not seeing a whole lot of creativity so far this season. Angelo and Kenny. That's all I'm seeing. Discuss ...) One of the chef's on the last episode, Arnold I think, made some lamb kebabs on the ...
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 ...
I love a Good Italian – Meatball Sub
A few months ago, I went on a "diet and exercise program". You may have heard of it - Body for Life. To this day, it is the only diet I have ever completed ( not counting the Beer & Cigarette Diet I was on in college). I lost 12 lbs and dropped 2 dress sizes, it is a great diet and I recommend it to anyone. ANYWAY, the big reason I could stay on the program is because the ...
