Gourmet Recipes
Rum Pumpkin Cupcakes
Every weekend I have this little obsession of browsing through the recipes of Bon Appetit, Gourmet, Martha Stewart & Sunset magazines in search for a little inspiration or a recipe that is unique and fun. This Sunday I had a hankering for something Fall, Halloween themed and Sassy. Something that I could easily ship to work to feed my coworkers and something that I could add a personal twist too.
An Introduction to Greek Food and Greek Cooking...
Greek cooking offers an incredibly rich and diverse array of foods and beverages that are the culmination of literally thousands of years of living, cooking, and eating. While each Greek meal is fresh and inviting, it is also a trip back through Greece's history.
Ingredients
The names of foods, cooking methods, and basic ingredients have changed little over time.
For you Coffee Addicts
I admit it: I'm a shameless coffee addict. If it weren't for coffee, I would have fallen into a coma years ago. I will probably still be running several months after I die, while the caffeine in my system gradually dimishes.Slow Cooker Turkey Chili

I hope you have all been enjoying the recipes that I've been posting. I absolutely love to cook, and while I love to cook food that is more "gourmet", so to say, the reality of my life is that I just don't have the time. I cook 3 or more times a week (utilizing leftovers!), and really feel that good food doesn't have to be complicated or take all day.

Humor is one of those things that is totally subjective and completely open for debate. A lot of people think that in order for something to be truly funny, it has to be risky or offensive. And while I don’t agree with that, safe humor is never quite as good as the jokes that walk a much finer line.Balsamic Vinegar BLT Sandwich
This is a BLT sandwich recipe with a gourmet flair and extremely yummy.
Ingredients:
:star: Bacon
:star: Bread
:star: Mayonnaise
:star: Tomatoes
:star: Lettuce
:star: Balsamic Vinegar
Start off by "lightly" toasting three slices of bread. I actually use a larger piece of bread.
