Christmas Muffins

2008-12-29T10:56:00.000-08:00

2008-11-11T18:51:00.000-08:00

Grilled chicken portobello mushroom sandwich with provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato and mustard. Sweet potato fries baked on the side!

My Take on Veggie Burger

2008-11-03T18:51:00.001-08:00

A little bit different. A veggie burger on top of fresh spinach and tomatoes. Side is a cabbage and potato hash. A little sour cream for the burger. Pretty yummy!

What is Beatiful?

2008-11-03T18:48:00.001-08:00

Veggie Broth

2008-10-20T19:38:00.001-07:00

Making your own vegetable broth is the way to go. Chicken and vegetable scraps with the appropriate herbs simmering in water for about 3 hours. Efficient and yummy!

Quiche

2008-10-05T06:57:00.001-07:00

This was my first quiche ever! Organic whole wheat pie crust, with spinach, onions, garlic, green onions, bacon, Cheddar cheese and Parmesan. Four eggs and a cup of whole milk. I must say it was pretty good!

Tamale Dinner

2008-09-24T17:58:00.000-07:00

There will always be a special place in my heart for tamales. There is nothing like them and they are a true San Antonio tradition. Here I have chicken, jalapeno, and tomatillo tamales that are baked over some brown rice. Tamale sauce is what makes the dish - olive oil, garlic, flour, cumin, chili powder and chicken broth to thin and thicken it out. Next to it I have my own mexican veggies - broccoli, carrots and onions with lime zest. Garnish is avocados and limes.

Thai...Or As Close As I Can Get

2008-09-17T15:50:00.000-07:00

So I love Thai food, but do not have the talent to make truly authentic Thai food. Here is a combination of wheat somen noodles, carrots cut ribbon style, snap peas, onions, garlic, bok choy, cabbage, Thai peanut sauce (essential), cilantro, lime juice and crushed cashews. I also had some miso soup on the side. Don't get too excited...that part was from a box. I normally do not have seaweed lying around the house!

Spinach and Cheese Puffs

2008-09-06T09:08:00.000-07:00

My mother loves cocktails and appetizers on a Friday or Saturday night. The Hemingway Daiquiri's were not exactly what we were hoping for, but we were resourceful. The puffs are a perfect appetizer.

Spaghetti Squash

2008-09-06T09:04:00.001-07:00

A spaghetti squash with fresh veggies - spinach, tomatoes, garlic, and onions. Put with wheat penne pasta and some great northern beans. Very yummy!

Lobster

2008-08-25T17:04:00.001-07:00

This is my first lobster cooking experience. I feel like we did really well. Boiled in seasoned water. Really the shot glass of butter was unnecessary, the flavor of the meat was unreal.

Polenta

2008-08-03T08:23:00.000-07:00

Sorry, few that look at my precious blog, I've been a little busy lately. A couple of weeks ago, inspired by the chicken Marsala event that happened, I decided to make polenta on my own. Corn meal mixed with water. Basil, Parmesan, and a little butter in the polenta mix. Then topped with spinach, asparagus, tomato sauce, bacon, ground pepper and a fried egg.

Pita Pizza

2008-07-14T19:42:00.000-07:00

Whole wheat pita with organic tomato sauce spread. Fresh spinach, thinly sliced tomatoes, broccoli, garlic, basil, Italian seasoning, pepper and mozzarella. Paired with a salad. I love Italian food, even when it is healthy.

Breakfast 3

2008-07-13T17:25:00.000-07:00

The Magnolia Pancake House is San Antonio is a must. These pictures should prove it.

Fish and Shrimp Tacos

2008-07-13T17:21:00.000-07:00

Okay...fish and shrimp tacos are some of my favorites. The best is the black bean soup. So very healthy. Includes brown rice, tomatoes, garlic, red onion, cilantro, cumin, red pepper flakes, Monterrey jack cheese and avocado.

Chicken Marsala Part 3

Chicken Marsala Part 2

2008-07-13T17:16:00.001-07:00

Chicken Marsala Part 1

2008-07-13T17:11:00.000-07:00

Chicken Marsala is an Italian favorite and a treat in my house. Peach are fresh with honey and a pomegranate martini for fun.

Breakfast 2

2008-06-25T16:55:00.001-07:00

I mean...breakfast is where it's at. Especially when it is for dinner.

Some Random Items

2008-06-25T16:50:00.001-07:00

I love the spinach and tomato colors together. It's beatiful. Also, some stirfry that became fried rice.

Some

Rack of Lamb

2008-06-21T10:14:00.001-07:00

We decided to get fancy the other night...so we had ourselves some wonderful rack of lamb. We roasted it with some simple seasoning and made a fiery sauce for it to lay in. Also, there was some roasted vegetables including Brussels sprouts and carrots. Couscous accompanied with basil and sun dried tomatoes. It was very good!

Some Drinks

2008-06-15T18:53:00.000-07:00

Udon Noodles

2008-06-15T08:16:00.001-07:00

Sometimes I like to pretend that I can cook Asian food. This is simple udon noodles with bok choy, carrots, seasame seeds, snap peas, green beans, broccoli, shitaki mushrooms, seasame oil and soy sauce. I also used tofu in it, which was actually a very nice texture and tased great. Enjoy!

Oh...Stuffed Artichokes

2008-06-02T16:51:00.000-07:00

Okay, so this is a really an appetizer, but I always can make those an actual meal. The stuffing consisted of turkey italian sausage, garlic, red onion, sundried tomatoes, basil pesto, dried bread crumbs, olive oil, spinach and parmesan cheese. Scrapping the inner artichoke was not easy, but it was definatley worth it. This was great!

White Chili

2008-06-01T18:57:00.000-07:00

So last week, for my weekly dinner, I made myself and my boyfriend white chili. So simple...ground turkey, chicken broth, leeks, mushroom, onions, carrots, cumin, chili powder, great northern beans, and beer. Or eles it wouldn't be chili. We made some salsa verde on the side. Enjoy!

Breakfast 1

2008-05-26T19:32:00.000-07:00

This is just a quick little breakfast diddy. I love the combination of garlic, red onion, tomato, and spinach. I can just about use this combo for in anything, and for any meal. One of my favorites is to make an omelet, and beacuse I love breakfast probably the most, it's always fun to jazz it up a little with some sausage and cheese. Oh, and you always have to have some fruit!

Surprise Party!

2008-05-21T18:42:00.001-07:00

At the Grey Moss Inn in San Antonio, Texas we had a surprise party for my mother. The food here was absolutely wonderful. I thought their plating work was simple and concise. The third one was a grilled chicken with "witches brew". Not sure what that is but it looked incredible. I had the tenderloin, the fourth pic, and it melted in my mouth. The open grill is very unique. Looked like a old well. Anyways, it was a wonderful party and a wonderful restaurant! I'll have pictures of the tasty beer and wine later!

It's Ravioli Time...

2008-05-20T17:42:00.000-07:00

Sometimes when life is a little more chaotic then I would hope, a very simple meal is in order. Last night, I toasted some very potent roasted red pepper, mozzarella and basil ravioli. Yummy spinach salad on the side, and tomatoe sauce. I thought it was all really pretty all together. Hope you enjoy!

And alot. I mean eating is my favorite, and cooking, well...its like art. I am not a chef, not a gourmet cook, I'm not really a foodie, I just love food. There will not be recipes on this blog, or exquisite diddies on the aroma and flavor. No critisicsm and or expensive ingredients. Just me eating, and other little tidbits on life and food (and drinks). There will be lots of picutres of the food I create, because my plate is my canvas, and from there, anything beatiful can happen.

PS. Don't be fooled by the cupcake. I mean, I love cupcakes, but sweets are not really my thing. I'm more about savory. But this picture is beatiful, courtsey of my sister, so I wanted to share it.
