Recipe: Pumpkin Spice Latte

One of my very first experiences with Starbucks was my introduction to the Pumpkin Spice Latte.

I was out with a group of friends and it was a particularly cold day in December in Charleston, SC and the group wanted to stop at Starbucks. At the time, I was against anything having to do with SB cause I thought it was a waste of peoples money. Way too expensive, and really, what was the use. Coffee is coffee.

Boy, was I wrong. ::giggle::

What they neglected to tell me at the time was that it was a “seasonal” thing. Ok, sure, I […]

Recipe: Ricotta Flax Pancakes

Gotta be honest, pancakes and I don’t get along so well. I am not talking about weight wise, but rather, I just really don’t like them. I have to remember however that it’s not always just about me!  ::giggle::

I went searching for a recipe that I could convert to HIGH FAT that would help those out there that miss this sort of breakfast.  This seemed to fit the bill.

I am not crazy about flax.  There is a certain texture to it that just doesn’t jive with me, and I think the next time I make this I will make it […]

Recipe: Fruity Curry Chicken Salad

This is one of my favorite “go-to” recipes.  I usually will always have the ingredients in this recipe on hand and when I can’t find anything else to make, this is an easy choice.

It’s also great as a “to-go” recipe as it travels well in a small cooler.  And if you add it on a bed of lettuce, it can become a complete meal full of protein (bodily fuel for cell and tissue maintenance), fats (for satiation and brain health) and carbs (for energy) without a lot of muss or fuss.

Whoever came up with the idea that curry and […]

Recipe: Black Bean Chili

Chili.  Yum.

There are all sorts of recipes for chili’s available.  It’s a long standing recipe that people have made their own for decades.

I never liked chili growing up because I never liked kidney beans.  I didn’t realize until much later in life that chili can mean almost anything!

Over the years, I tend to enjoy white chili’s more than red, however, this is one that I always come back to.  But then again, I happen to really love black beans.  ::giggle::

What is totally awesome about chili is that even though it’s not “high fat” on it’s own, you can make it […]

Recipe: Carolina Coleslaw

Where I come from (Honolulu, Hawaii) coleslaw was just a mixture of cabbage and vinegar, salt and pepper, and a splash of sugar to take some acidity away.  Tasty, but not very exciting.

When I moved to South Carolina back in the mid 90’s, I was introduced to a most unusual concoction, the Eastern North Carolina Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich.  I dare say that at first, I felt it looked rather gross, but I was told to give it a try.  Now keep in mind, this was back in the mid 90’s, I didn’t know any better about wheat.  ::giggle::

Who […]

Recipe: Cowboy Caviar

You know what?  I could live on salsa, any type of salsa or dip every day for the rest of my life.  Give me some sort of dip or salsa, some raw veggies and some blue corn chips, and I am a happy camper!!!  Do you know how many dips and salsas there are in the world?  I could probably try one a day and still never touch the sheer amount of variety!  (This is just a sample!)

This one I came across simply by accident one day.  I had a can of black beans and a […]
