You know when you're making some cookies and you just can't help but eat a spoonful or two of the dough? ... Even though you're not supposed to because of the raw egg or other 'icky' stuff that could be in there? It's one of those shameful moments that we all take part in at one time or another.
Yeah, well. Problem solved!
That's right. This cookie dough is meant for eating. Not for baking.
Please, do not attempt to bake this cookie dough...
Read MoreIs it bad of me to tell you that even as a Texan... I can't stand to eat meat off the bone? I'm a white meat only (no dark meat here) and boneless kind of girl. I always have been for as long as I can possibly remember. That's right. I don't care for ribs on the bone, wings (or legs) on the bone, or even steak on the bone! No bones.
I've said it before, I could very easily become a vegetarian without skipping a beat. In fact, I've found that eating meatless dinners 2-3 days of the week slash my grocery bill and helps me to feel better overall. That being said, I am a Texan and barbecue is a weekly requirement as well!
Since I'm a boneless fan, skewers are sort my go-to for faux ribs. It gives me that raw carnivore feel while not grossing me out in the process. Plus, I get to use a leaner cut of meat for my 'ribs' - which meals less calories and less guilt...
Read MoreI was craving something that was a little 'snacky' for a dinner this week. Sometimes, you just don't feel like having a meal for a meal. If that makes any sense at all to anyone else. So I settled on a chicken dip.
A while back I made a really tasty Skinny Buffalo Chicken Dip before, but since this was going to be partially for dinner, I wanted something that was a little different and maybe had some more substance to it. I did, however, use the same basic idea from the buffalo dip to create this southwest version of it.
This southwest chicken dip was nothing short of amazing, and it totally didn't feel or taste as if there was anything skinny or light about it. It's always nice to feel as if you're indulging, even if you aren't!...
Read MoreA month or two back I was whisked away off to a magical land of mystery and whimsey, otherwise known as the Sherwood Forrest Faire. While there I was enticed to try meat-on-a-stick for lunch. I was somewhat skeptical at first but after the first bit I was enchanted. It was amazing! As a side, the meat-on-a-stick could come with a baked potato loaded with butter, sour cream, pesto and parmesan. Also... To. Die For.
The meat on a stick was a thicker piece of what appeared to be flank steak, grilled with some mystical yellow seasoning that I could only fathom was turmeric. So, I went on a hunt as soon as I got home...
Read MoreI know that this is dangerous territory since there are flaming debates out there over what makes an official 'Chicago' dog. But, this is what I've come to know and love as a 'Chicago' style dog for several years now.
Where did this all start for me? A fun little place called 'Freddy's Frozen Yogurt'! My mom and I stumbled across the place some years ago and happened to try their rendition of a traditional 'Chicago' dog - which was fantastic!...
Read MoreA few weeks back I was sent a Wilton Armetale Casserole/Baker, at no charge to me, to try out and give my honest opinion on. Since today starts up March Madness, I wanted to do something inspired by Tailgating!
Of course, there were the usual suspects... but, I wanted to do some dessert since I feel that it's a severely overlooked additional to any proper Tailgating experience.
Since I wanted the dish to be Tailgating friendly it had to be something that could be prepared a few hours in advance, was versatile, and could be cooked on the grill just as easily as it could be in the oven...
