    Cheddar Bacon BBQ Meatloaves

    Today I have a fun twist on your everyday meatloaf.  The Stud Muffin and I like meatloaf.  Don’t believe me?  Just look (Here) and (Here) and you’ll see just how much.  I once landed a free-lance writing assignment where I would assist 2 other free-lance writers in coming  up with 100 meatloaf recipes for the Client’s cookbook.  I wasn’t keen on the fact that I would lose rights to any recipe(s) that I submitted.  I could never claim these recipes as my own, blog about them, talk about them or share them.  That didn’t seem groovy to me at all, so I graciously backed out and decided that free-lance food writing was not…

    Faux-reo Cheesecake Bars

    Happy Valentine’s Day fellow Food Hippies!   I have a lovely treat for you guys.  It’s two of my most favoritest food things in the whole wide world combined together.  Cheese and cake.  Ha!  Kidding.  Make that cheesecake and Oreos.  “Whaaa?  I thought you were REAL Food Girl??”  Don’t worry, I am.  And I did not use real Oreos in this recipe.  Hence the name of the recipe:  Faux-reo Cheesecake Bars.  It rhymes with Oreo, but not with GMO soy, HFCS and other nasty ingredients.  You guys should be VERY happy that the original recipe that I had planned to share with you today had major flaws that could not be fixed even though…

    Fresh Garden Salsa -Organic

    This Real Food Girl loves her salsa.  My secret salsa love affair started when I had some at a local Mexican restaurant called Chi-Chi’s. I have no idea if Chi-Chi’s made authentic Mexican salsa or not, I just know I loved their salsa, and by the time my fajitas came sizzling down through the restaurant, I was full after eating 2 baskets of chips and 4 little containers of salsa all by myself.
