I love cake. But who doesn’t? I love me some chocolate cake too. However, I just had a baby and she doesn’t tolerate dairy very well in my breast milk, so I have gone dairy-free. It was a hard adjustment, but after about two weeks, it wasn’t so bad. But man, I do miss dairy. It is literally in everything!
It is the start of the new year and with that comes all new resolutions. The number 1 resolution for people is to lose weight and/or get healthy. I am always looking for delicious, yet healthy snacks that I can grab and take on the go, or to have quickly in the morning.
I love olives. Green, black, stuffed, any, you name them. I love the sour tartness. They are also (obviously) the best part of a dirty martini. The dirtier the better with extra olive juice.
Olives are a fabulous ingredient to have around for the holiday’s. For this Thanksgiving, I was in charge of bringing an appetizer. Just like most of us, I don’t have a lot of extra time on my hands, but I also didn’t want to just buy something to bring. After-all, the hostess will have been in the kitchen of her house for the last two days, I wanted to show my appreciate by bringing a delicious and homemade recipe.
This recipe is so tasty. It reminds me of the pimento cheese I adored in New Orleans earlier this year. Living in AZ, pimento cheese is not such an easy thing to access. I love this recipe better because of the real olives in the dip.
I decided to make an olive cheese dip. This appetizer takes just a short bit of time, and I promise you it will be a hit. Serve it with crackers, chips or vegetables.
With the holiday’s coming up, that does not necessarily mean that you waistline needs to expand. It is absolutely possible to not gain any weight, actually lose weight, or keep up with your dietary needs, and still enjoy a delicious meal to celebrate the holiday’s.
If you are vegan, vegetarian, or just like to go meatless once in a while, you have got to check out Gardein and thier holiday roast with cranberry and rice stuffing.
Let me just start off by saying, that this roast is completely meatless, but when it was baking in the oven, oh my goodness. It brought the entire smell of the holiday season throughout the house. As soon as I cut into it, the smell of traditional stuffing was so delicious, I started salivating. The hubs said he couldn’t want to see what this roast tasted like.
