My husband loves getting food from Chinese restaurants in our local mall’s food court. So I decided to recreate one of the dishes he might purchase there. This dish was healthier than what you get at the food court. He thought it was a sweet and sour dish when it was cooking in the oven.…

I love chocolate chip cookies. Actually, I like most cookies. You might say cookies are my weakness! I mean dessert weakness. This dip reminds me of a chocolate chip cookie. Best of all, you don’t have to bake cookies to get deliciousness. :) Now the question is, what should I dip into this yumminess! I’ve…

My two love French toast cooked by Moi instead of from the freezer section. The Imaginative One gets a headache with store-bought French toast/sticks. French toast is simple to make, and you can try various loaves of bread. I usually use sandwich bread, or if I want to make sticks, I’ll use Texas toast bread…

I’ve seen this idea floating around but have never tried it. I always have issues figuring out what I want to eat for lunch. Even though I love salads, my salads for lunch are often lacking. So this week, I decided to try this. In a quart-size Mason jar, I put dressing, shredded carrots, broccoli…
