Believe it or not, I just completed a 6 mile hike in 3 hours! Sore - yep. Exhausted - you betcha. Thirsty and in need of reward ~ ABSOLUTELY!! Mardi Gras is just around the corner and I figured that the 3 ounces of fruit juice and garnish fulfills a portion of my daily fiber needs and the 4 ounces of rum will take the place of my ibuprofen. Now, all I need is a really cute bartender to deliver it to my recliner......

Yea, I know we've been layin' it on pretty thick with the chocolate and the pork butt; however, I just had to share this one with you. Confession: I've NEVER made my own BBQ sauce. There are just so many good ones on the market to satisfy my diners, and to be quite truthful, I've never been much of a fan....until now!
My friend, and Chef, Jill Smith gave me this recipe and a whole bunch more to share with you for our Meatless Monday sessions. We're going to head to Asia for the next few weeks. One of the keys to preparing Asian Cuisine is to have all of your ingredients prepped before you start cooking ~ you'll thank me for that tip:)
Let's face it... New Year's resolutions are no match for peanut butter and chocolate--especially the combination! But, if my calculations are correct peanut butter = protein, chocolate = antioxidants, and MINI Homemade Peanut Butter Cups are OK and even healthful for one and all. You know I'm right... : )
Doing some planting in the next few weeks and before I know it, these lovely Z's will be coming out my ears! Unfotunately, I'm the only one in my house who likes this versatile vegetable. If you live in a similar situation, just remember that it's really easy to hide zucchini in soups and casseroles, especially if you peel it:)
It's citrus season here in AZ and I thought this punch seemed appropos! I really enjoy cranberry based cocktails - not too tart, not too sweet. Kind of like me ~ yea, right!! Happy Weekend:)
I created this salad when I worked as a chef on Charter Yachts in the Caribbean. This is high in fiber, over the top in taste and very easy to make. Would sometimes serve it alongside a gazpacho or all on it's own with a nice baguette. Enjoy!!
I found a frozen piece of meat in my freezer last Saturday and since Sunday was all about football, I set it aside to thaw for a big pot of stew. Keeping some basic staples around the house, i.e. celery, carrots, onions, tomato paste and potatoes, saves you from a trip to the grocery store on game day ~ UGH! Oh, wait...do we have enough beer???? Honey!!!
Yes, there may be some confusion as to the differences between a Classic Chelada and a Michelada, but who really cares? These Mexican drinks became popular back in the 1940's and 1950's and the people from the country of origin swear by their curative hangover powers. Hey, Bartender! I'll take tres, por favor. Happy Weekend!!!
