Ole` everyone. I thought that I would provide all sorts of ‘Mexican’ recipes in preparation for Cinco de Mayo. First suggestion from the family: Quesadillas! These can be a fun food: Both young and old can legitimately use their hands to hold their food, look silly when chomping into a large piece of it, get…
Ole` It’s Mexican Week: Mushroom and Chicken Quesadilla
Fast & Frugal Friday: Baked Orange Roughy with Paprika and Garlic
Considering we are allowed to have Orange Roughy only once a month, I figured I had better stick with my tried and true recipe. Although I do enjoy to make some truly mutli-layered, multi-flavored recipes, I find that when it comes to fish, I prefer it light and simple. Here is a great example and…

Wild Mushroom Ravioli with Roasted Yellow Tomato Pesto
I am among a fantastic group of FoodBuzz Featured Publishers that received a package of Buitoni’s wild mushroom agnolotti.

Naturally, I was as excited to try the ravioli as Buitoni is for us to rave about it in…

I found his contest Saturday afternoon and set to work. Have you seen the videos Greg has entered in my past contests? Look here and here. So, the contest: Naturally,…
Easter Cake Bake
My daughter and I made a cake for Easter-it is not healthy or even from scratch so I decided to post it on our family blog, ‘A Bird’s Eye View’. The eggs are the ‘robins’ eggs you can buy in a bag and the ‘nest’ is made from chow mein noodles. I will be posting…
National Food Month – Oatmeal Cookie Challenge
While buying my Madagascar Vanilla last week at Sandy’s Fine Food Emporium, I saw their April newsletter and found out that April is National Food Month. I read the list and it gave me an idea. The last day, April 30th, is National Oatmeal Cookie Day so I think we should have a round-up of…
Fast & Frugal Friday: Bison Meatballs
It has sprung! Yes, officially, it is a sunny, warm, not windy, not rainy day and I officially declare it spring in New England. Okay, now that I have shared my excitement, I must post now and then get outside to get to work on the doll house we have been waiting many months to…
MOOoooooo…..minicards
A week or so ago, the lucky FoodBuzz featured publishers received an email letting us know that we will be getting 100 free cards from Moo. I finally ordered mine and can not wait to start carrying them around. I will feel like an ‘official’ blogger. Get some yourself as they are fantastic, cheap and…
