Canned salmon

Thanks to my Mom I have a bulk package of canned salmon sitting in my pantry. She pointed it out on a recent trip to Costco and I couldn’t resist it as an option for my lunches. My favorite use for canned salmon is a quick and easy salmon patty made with salmon, an egg,…

All about the spicy mustard

Recently I got one of the strangest cravings. I wanted spicy mustard, ya know, the kind you eat on egg rolls. My craving wasn’t for Chinese food or egg rolls it was for spicy mustard. Isn’t it weird to crave condiments? Once lunch time rolls around I went on a search for spicy mustard. Yes,…

Liberty Brunch

So, I am a doofus. I have been to Liberty in South End several times for various reasons and was always confused why the menu was different. Apparently, their kitchen is run Top Chef style where the menu can change day-to-day based on available ingredients and the whims on the chef. Good to know in…

Soup, Salad, and Breadsticks

When I was younger my family rarely went out to eat. I remember as a teen a trip to Olive Garden was such a treat. Oh how times have changed. Over the past several years I have been spoiled by some fantastic restaurant meals and Olive Garden has been knocked down a few notched….at least…

Fried chicken and tater tots

On Saturday I continued my coupon-loving, penny-pinching ways. When I was hungry for breakfast on Saturday morning I was excited to whip out a coupon for a free bagel from Bruegger’s. B and I split a sun dried tomato bagel with jalapeno cream cheese, which was just enough to hold us over through our bi-weekly…

Cedarlane Enchiladas

Eating healthy is easy, if you are prepared. Unfortunately, I have not had motivation to take the extra effort to do a lot of prep work which was resulting in me reaching for a lot of not so healthy convenience foods. I don’t love eating frozen meals for lunch, but I also don’t love feeling…

Laurel Market

B and I were such bad hosts to his parents this past weekend. We didn’t have any activities planned for the weekend and our refrigerator was bare. Since Saturday AM looked like we were just going to sit around looking at one another  I made plans to head to the farmers market and grocery store….

Bottomless Breakfast Fruit Crisp

…Or at least that how it felt. And by bottomless I mean never-ending, in case you weren’t sure. On Sunday night I made a breakfast fruit crisp a la Diana. Except, my fruit crisp was huge because I had 5 or 6 peaches that needed to be used ASAP. I multiplied Diana’s recipe, but did…

Mert’s Heart and Soul

Don’t you love my creative blog post titles today? In my last post I mentioned that skipping out on our Charlotte Restaurant week plans on Saturday left us with some extra spending money for lunch on Sunday. As you can tell, we decided to try Mert’s Heart and Soul. Sunday morning we decided to try…

Hum Drum Friday

So it is Tuesday and I am just now sitting down to start blogging about my weekend. Looking at my pictures there really isn’t much to show…not for Friday and most of Saturday, at least. Plus most of the pictures from Saturday are still on my Blackberry, and I am too lazy too upload them….
