 Here's my picture of how it turned out>>>

This was fabulous and huge hit with my girlfriends. If you don't like cilantro though, sorry, but this ones not for you. I had never used actual chipotle chili peppers this recipe calls for before, and it was fantastic! Little on the spicy side to warn you.. but yummo!

We can thank Miss Rachel Ray for this bowl of happiness.

Corn and Bacon Pie (Quiche)

Quiche! Why can't it be spelled the way it sounds? "Keesh"... Ahhh, much better..
This "breakfast pie" is delish!

I, ummm, didn't read the recipe entirely until it was over so I ended up mixing ALL the ingridients together in stead of layering them... Whatev..it was UH-MAZE-ING (since we're into phonetics today).. Disappeared from the breakfast table faster than Tickle-Me-Elmo's on black Friday. Ironically, I did make it on black Friday... huh..

We made the non-dairy version using the Coffee-Mate original creamer mixed with water instead of milk.

Crock Pot Beef Stew

I'll start with what's cooking in my crockpot right now..

El Crock Pot Beef Stew. 

I accidentally left it on "high" when  stepped out the door to the spa (wouldn't that be nice) work..so it cooked for about 4.5 hrs on high. When I got home, I tasted it and YUM! The beef was super tender (falling apart), and the soup/sauce was awesome. I added a little tomato juice since I had some on hand, and then salt and fresh cracked pepper. Also, I used baking potatoes instead of the red potatoes they called for (just because it's what I had). I'll be tossing the Rhodes buns in the oven in a few minutes, and I'm sure the husband will be SOOOO thrilled for his meat and potatoes tonight :)

I'd give this 2 thumbs up!

First Things..

As this is the first post of this blog, I'll keep it short yet informative. ( I don't want to overload myself in the first shot, as I'm not very good with being consistent with my blogging..heh heh)


I wanted a way to have something of a food/cooking diary so I can remember recipes I find as well as how it actually tasted. I'm nothing of a food critic, and I wouldn't even say food is my passion. I just enjoy cooking, baking, and eating. That's all. If you find this blog to be helpful, I'm very glad you did. But just for my sake of not feeling guilty when I'm not posting, this is for my benefit primarily :)

So now, that that's off the table. I'm ready for some food!

Thank you Disney for your fine example of a culinary taste discriminator.. :)
