Does ‘hunger and a buzz’ make a meal… AMAZING?!

hahah, i think just the word "amazing" comes out too often when drunk....like everything is AMAZING! and the best ever! hahah. i exaggerate so much when i drink.

Taste Test: Greek Yogurt

oikos is my absolute favorite. i much prefer it over any other brands i've tried. i think it's the thickest, with the right amount of tang....sooo good! i did a funny blog post on greek yogurt too:

Taste Test: Milks Not From a Cow

blue diamond almond milk is SO good!!! i even like it in my coffee!

From Talk

Fresh Mozzarella

that's exactly what i wanted to use it for--on fresh tomatoes with fresh basil & balsamic...i was like pouring on the balsamic to get any real flavor. and rubbery was definitely the texture i got. oh well! goat cheese is my absolute fave! never had brie, but will try that soon.

Tarragon.....Anyone????

tarragon is really good in chicken & tuna salad!

Do You Have a Favorite Greek Yogurt?

Cabot's Plain Greek Style Yogurt is absolutely wonderful! The price is right, too....much less expensive that Fage. Trader Joe's brand yogurt is also very good....especially the Honey flavoured. I like plain yogurt with a dollop of lemon curd....YUMMY!

Fage is fine but way too expensive.....rather make it myself than pay that amount. Oixos and Chobani, not so much.

My mom would make a dish with country ribs and sauerkraut that was so good! I'm glad I finally learned how to make it.

I've always loved stew that's cooked all day in the slow cooker paired with a mixed green salad and freshly baked bread.

Cold weather is chili time! Made with fresh tomatoes, chunks of steak and some diced habanero for a little extra kick. A big bowl of chili, caesar salad, and cheddary potato rolls are a truly memorable and satisfying meal.

Mom's homemade shrimp creole night is a big family favorite year-round, followed by Mom's holiday time cookie bake-a-thon. Yum!

Kielke and farmer sausage with "gravy" (aka cream sauce with onions). Oh thank goodness for Mennonite roots. If only I worked like a farmer to work it off.
