I'm Dreaming of...




I went on a field trip for my son's birthday to Dave & Busters and imagine my surprise when I visited their dessert menu and discovered this >>>>>>


Needless to say I have been dreaming about this fondue everyday for the last two weeks. Bite sized pound cake, brownies, bananas, graham crackers, marshmallows, and strawberries have put this on my "must do list". This is perfect for two lovers to get lost in. I can't wait to go on a sexy date. I just want someone to feed me and lick the chocolate that drops on my chin.

Chicken Chili





Ugh, don't you hate these cold, rainy spring-ish days? There's nothing like a big bowl of comfort food to warm your insides. Traditional chili is great but boooooring. I gave chili and update by using boneless skinless chicken breast that makes this dish even more hearty. Two of my friends didn't even think they were a fan of chili until I presented them with this bowl topped with cheese, green onions, sour cream, and honey-butter crackers. To say they are hooked would be an understatement. I remember another taste-tester referring to it as "crack-in-a-bowl".






Caution: Do not make plans, drive, or operate heavy machinery after indulging.

Foody Contribution: Chicken Enchilada

A fellow foody was making Chicken Enchiladas yesterday when I went to visit him. The kitchen smelled so good I rolled up my sleeves and began stirring the sauce just to get closer look. I left before the final product was complete but he made sure to send me a picture. I told him I would make sure this gets a spotlight on Foody Things. This blog is about food that speaks to you. I aim to create and display food that makes you want to eat it directly from your screen. I dare you to tell me that this doesn't make you instantly hungry!

Pineapple Upside-Down Rum Pound Cake


I know its a long name but if I left out just one word...you would not fully understand all that this cake entails. The rum cream I added makes you do a double take and ask yourself "did somebody spike my cake?" I didn't think it was wise to share with the kiddies, but I made sure to dust it with powdered sugar and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the adults. This is how you top off Sunday dinner.


(Fat-girl tip)Pair this cake with a scoop of Haagan-Dazs Pineapple-Coconut.

Foody Experiment: Pizza Casserole


What to cook on a Sunday? Tired of the usual crowd pleasers I decided to experiment with a "Pizza Casserole." I made sure to load it with familiar pizza toppings such as mushrooms, onions, green peppers, mozzarella cheese, turkey sausage, and pepperoni.

I also included egg noodles and even added a layer of green onions!



P.S...kids don't even notice the vegetables included. Shhhh...it's a secret worth keeping.
