Trying Some Homemade Hummus
Hummus seems to have become pretty popular over the last several years. I understand it is from the Middle East, but when I got to eat some on the beach, I knew it has become mainstream American.
I have sampled hummus in restaurants and at parties before and thought that it was alright. Maybe it was [...]
Cookie Dough Recall
I take pride in baking my own homemade cookies, but you can’t beat the convenience of ready to scoop and bake cookie dough. So about a month ago we bought some Nestle Cookie Dough to take to the beach this summer. This way we could have fresh cookies without losing much beach time. Well that [...]
Mayo Or Miracle Whip?
What do you like on your sandwich? I grew up with Miracle Whip in our house. My wife grew up with mayonnaise in her house. Consequently when you open our refrigerator we have 2 jars, one of each.
I have never been a huge mayonnaise fan, but I do use it in recipes for cole slaw [...]
White Whole Wheat Flour
I love sweet cornbread that I make with flour and cornmeal. As I was preparing the cornbread last weekend; I decided to see if I could slip white whole wheat flour in place of white flour. I was interested to see if anyone would notice the difference.
I bought some of white whole wheat flour. It is [...]
Breakfast Fruit or Meat?
While working, I usually eat a couple pieces of fruit. It is an easy way to break the fast in the morning. It usually takes me several hours after I am up in the morning for my stomach to wake up.
I watched a report on the Today Show that basically said I should add protein [...]
S’mores Please
Grilled out last night and as we finished up our dinner, my daughter suggested we make S’mores. Well there were two problems with that. We didn’t have any marshmallows and the charcoal was almost out. My wife solved the first problem, she went to the store to get supplies. I solved the second, I ventured [...]
It’s Greek To Me
Moussaka, patistio, souvlaki, just some of the food I got to taste and not pronounce at the St. Barbara’s Annual Greek Festival for Durham and Chapel Hill.
I usually make it a family tradition to cook Sunday dinner for my family, but this was an exception. It was rainy and cool, so instead of grilling, we [...]
Good Luck Hurricane Fish Burgers?
While watching the game last night, I decided to try a frozen salmon burger. I usually opt for beef, but we bought some salmon burger because my daughter enjoys salmon.
These were pre-formed patties from wild caught Alaskan salmon. I put one in the toaster oven during the first period while the Hurricanes trailed 0-1. When it [...]
Watermelons Are Back
The plants in the store looked small enough. I tried it once and it really didn’t work out. I bought some watermelon plants a few years back to plant in a container. They were the small round melons and the plant grew great. It was the fruit that didn’t. I think we got one ripe [...]
Moist Lemon Cake, from Martha
How does the old saying start? ‘When life gives you lemons, make…’
In this case make…Lemon Cake. While watching the Today Show last week, I saw Martha Stewart make a cake that Matt Lauer said was really really good. Now I know Matt has to try a lot of food on the Today Show, I could [...]
