Real Simple’s Month of Easy Dinners

Fanny — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 03:22:35 +0000

Looking for a month’s worth of easy recipes? Look no further than Real Simple’s Guide to a month of easy dinners. I was at Walgreens today and picked up a copy of Real Simple. Their guide to a month of easy dinners was intriguing especially since there is a photo accompanying each recipe. Plus there’s a [...]

Busy day today. Got my mercury filling taken out and replaced with a white filling. Not a fun experience but treated myself to the Starbucks VIA Challenge. What is the Starbucks VIA Challenge you may ask? From October 2 – 5th, go to any Starbucks and taste test the new Starbucks VIA instant coffee against [...]

Instant Rice Pudding Recipe

Fanny — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 19:24:15 +0000

I just saw this on Food Network. Robin Miller of Quick Fix Meals is the queen of planning out a week’s worth of meals by using leftovers to make another meal. I love her strategy and it saves a lot of money. She made chicken kabobs. Then she used the left over chicken for chicken curry [...]

Kung Fu Tacos

My husband spotted the Kung Fu Taco truck outside of an APAture event and brought home some Asian fusion tacos for me. The characters in red on the front of the truck say “kung fu” in Chinese. Kung Fu Taco just started in August so they are really brand new. Basically, a kung fu taco consists [...]

Fra’mani – Gourmet Chef Makes Organic Meals for Costco

Fanny — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 19:08:29 +0000

Finally, organic, gourmet pre-cooked meals are available at Costco! I have always loved Costco, for great deals on Aidell’s chicken apple sausage, Foster Farms chicken thighs, real crab meat, fresh baked bread, Trident’s panko encrusted tilapia, wild Alaskan salmon, and Dunkin Donuts coffee. They always choose the best vendor/producer of a particular product and feature [...]

Xpress Chai – New Flavors

Fanny — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 00:09:30 +0000

Chai is hands down my favorite kind of tea. And Xpress Chai is my favorite instant chai tea. I also love that Xpress Chai is made by an Indian company so it’s authentic chai, probably the only brand of chai that is authentically Indian. They have come out with a new flavor, Cardamom Tea, which is [...]

Frothy Chocolate Espresso Shake Recipe

Fanny — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 23:45:17 +0000

Today, I made this Frothy Chocolate Espresso Shake recipe from Food Network’s Giada de Laurentiis. Flavor is rich, chocolately with a hint of espresso. Perfect! The only thing that bothered me was that the consistency was so watery. I think if you add crushed ice that would help. Still, this is a great alternative to [...]
