    Creamy Mushroom & Beef Stroganoff

    Shazam America!  This dish is FAB.YOO.LUSS!  Hand to God, Scouts Honor, swear on someone’s Grandmammy’s grave FABULOUS!  And I don’t like stroganoff, so that is saying something!  Beef Stroganoff is one of TSM’s most favorite meals.  The man has a serious thing for sour cream.  He only eats Mexican food because he’s convinced sour cream exists solely to be a delivery system for the Mexican food.  I on the other hand could live quite happily without having sour cream so I’ve always been torn when it comes to making Stroganoff for The Stud Muffin because he loves it and I can’t stand it.  That is, until tonight. I’ve changed my mind and this…

    Isn’t that a beautiful thing?  I must say that a properly seared pork chop brings tears of happiness to my eyes. If you’re a child of the 60s or 70s you probably ate your fair share of pork chops that were dry as saw dust because back then our folks were told to cook pork until bone dry and then cook it some more.  That way, when you cut into it, you’ll start a small fire and you’ll know it’s safe to eat.   Thankfully times have changed and we don’t have to torture ourselves with dried-up pork chops that resemble a leather flip flop. If you have a meat loving male in…

    Accept my sincerest apologies for going on and on about my Onion Bacon Jam.  I honestly can’t help it.  It’s that good.  I was just telling TSM that I am going to enter it into some type of bacon recipe contest because I nailed it with this recipe.

    Happy Fast and Furious Friday everyone!  Today I’m going to share this recipe with one of my favorite food blogs called The Food Renegade.  TFR  hosts a food blog carnival on Fridays, called Fight Back Friday where fellow (Renegade) food bloggers can share a link to a recipe or article on their blog.  I love The Food Renegade because I consider myself a bit of a renegade.  I am a lover of what we foodies call “SOLE” food.  SOLE stands for Sustainable, Organic, Local, and Ethical.” I’m trying to cook with as many organic and non-GMO ingredients as I can find because I’m highly opposed to GMOs, and am trying to take control…

    Today is the perfect day to make breakfast for dinner.  Do you love breakfast for dinner as much as we do?   Back when I used to watch copious amounts of Food Network TV, I saw Giada make this dish and I knew it would be something that TSM would enjoy.  I made very few changes to her recipe because for once the amounts on the recipe were accurate and the dish turned out. I don’t know about you, but sometimes when I look at recipes that celebrity chefs post online I have to scratch my head in wonderment when it comes to their ingredient amounts.  It’s like- Seriously?  You wrote half a cup,…

    I married a meat lover. The Stud Muffin (TSM) not only just loves meat, he lurves it.  He lurves meat like Tammy Faye loves mascara. He lurves meat like Kristen Stewart loves to remain expressionless no matter what’s going on around her.  TSM also loves a good meat and potatoes dinner and all but cries if he’s asked to eat a vegetable other than peas or carrots. He probably won’t like that I’ve shared that with you, and since this is my blog there may have been a little creative licensing  exaggerating about the crying when made to eat veggies. Early on in our marriage I was at a loss for creative meal…

    It’s the Saturday after Thanksgiving.  You’ve just survived the official kick-off to the Holiday Season.  Hopefully you’re one day closer to being able to fit back into a structured pair of pants, but if not, don’t worry. Soon you’ll be decking the halls, and fa-la-la-la-laa’ing while you sit in front of the TV watching Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer while stuffing fistfuls of Spritz cookies and homemade fudge down your pie hole and your yoga pants will become your best friend.  You might as well just kiss your jeans goodbye until January 2nd, when you join a gym (again) to get rid of those pesky 15 pounds you put on over the past…
