Smoked Gouda and Cheddar Mac with Spinach
This recipe has been sponsored by the cool folks over at One2One Network in partnership with Nestle Carnation The Cooking Milk. This is my own twist on the Pepper Jack Cheesy Mac recipe from the free CARNATION - Holiday Guide.pdf I received from Carnation Cooking Milk. I'm a big, BIG fan of spinach. Anytime I can get away with mixing it into a dish, I do it! This particular dish had my interest... More...

This recipe has been sponsored by the cool crowd over at One2One Network in partnership with Nestle Carnation The Cooking Milk. Can I just tell you this is the CREAMIEST potato recipe I have ever made? When Cassie from One2One Network asked me to make two recipes using Nestle Carnation Evaporated Milk in place of regular milk, I didn't think it would make much of a difference. I was wrong. It...

Long before the holiday season began, Jill began pointing out dutch ovens to me in the Williams-Sonoma kitchen store. I have to admit, she's extremely good about giving me hints for the few things that she wants. She pointed out the Le Creuset Dutch Ovens and I started researching my buying options. What I found was very surprising. Apparently, dutch ovens have been around in one form or another... More...

With a name like Road Kill Grill Seasonings ALONE, I had to try it! Road Kill Grill Seasonings is a mixed grill dry rub with a mild kick. Last night, I fired up the grill, invited some neighbors over and we had ourselves a taste testing. We voted it to be OUTSTANDING for Blackened Tilapia and Grilled Shrimp. I can already see us eating it on chicken and steak, too. Even though it's on the spicy... More...

Sometimes I go to the grocery store without my kids. That's a real treat for me because it gives a chance to actually read food labels and compare prices. This week, I wanted to share with you my take on these three honey brands. Now, I normally just put honey in my hot tea at night. Occasionally, I drizzle it over my bagels. I don't consume it enough to know one from the other and why their cost... More...

First of all, I admit I am slow and skeptical most of the time. I am not the type of person some would call an early adopter. I tend to watch everyone else buy up the latest fads, electronic devices, gadgets and hottest fashion apparel. I patiently wait and watch to see how long stuff lasts and how valuable it becomes. It's usually when things hit the clearance racks that I become interested in... More...

Some time back, I was given a chance to sample Pam Professional High Heat cooking spray. I thought, "Sure. Why not? I doubt I'll notice anything special. It's probably just another cooking spray." BOY WAS I WRONG! The first thing I noticed after baking with it was that it didn't "gum" up on my baking pan. The excess spray just sat beaded on top like water, waiting for me to wipe it away. That... More...

WHO'S TRIED STARBUCKS CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO TRUFFLES? My girlfriend gave me this box full of yummy goodness for my birthday. I was scared at first, to be quite honest. You have to know this one thing about me....I truly love espresso based drinks. Not just coffee. Coffee is completely different from espresso which is different from a latte which is different from a cappuccino. There are levels of... More...
