I have always loved restaurants that serve mini-indulgences after a nice meal. They’re never too big and give you just the right amount of sweetness and satisfaction – without all the guilt. My favorite is usually a rich chocolate treat or a light tangy dessert like key lime pie. [Read more…]
Marcella Rose here. Now if you are like me, you’re constantly trying to save money and what a better way to save than to use those leftovers! It’s always a shame to throw away perfectly good food, am I right? Now I don’t just like to warm up a leftover, though I have been known to do so, but where is the imagination in that?! What I love is taking a leftover and making something extraordinary with it; something that makes the family run to the table.
So today I want to share with you an easy and quick recipe that will use your leftover white rice in a flash and with some panache! I mean we all order take out and it seems that with every dish comes the ubiquitous box of white rice. You may eat a scoop, but I have never once used up all the rice. Sometimes I make a rice pudding (I will share that recipe with you next time!) but most times I make fried rice.
What I love about fried rice is that your can serve it for every meal! If I serve it in the morning I like to baste an egg and place it on top; the gooey, runny yolk makes for a great sauce on the rice and really puts it over the top for the first meal of the day. Serve this at a brunch and your guests will be stunned and love every bit of it.
I love BBQs! I honestly do. In spite of my vehement hatred of almost everything summer, BBQs are the one thing I actually look forward to in warm weather.
I adore the idea of gathering around a big picnic table with friends and family, an array of grilled food before me, beckoning me to indulge in at least one of everything.
There are some days, however, when you want the feel of a summer BBQ without the hassle, and these Bacon-Wrapped Summer BBQ Hot Dogs are an amazing solution for those days! [Read more…]
Stay cool during the dog days of summer with this refreshing Strawberry Sweet Tea! Singing of strawberries and summertime sweetness, this tea is perfect to sip during a warm afternoon.
The dog days of summer are almost here, and I don’t know about y’all, but I am increasingly spending more and more time indoors because it’s just that hot outside.
Gone are the days of taking leisurely afternoon walks.
Gone are the days of gardening in the sunshine.
If you need me, chances are I’m hiding indoors.
