I created this recipe on a whim yesterday… it was a cosmic accident. John had just made some lovely homemade tomato sauce, I had 3 different colored peppers in the refrigerator that needed to be used, and a pound of turkey in the freezer. Voila! These got rave reviews from my husband and mother in law… they said it didn’t even taste like turkey. So you GOTTA try it! 
By the way, if you aren’t a huge fan of green peppers, try some of the other colors as they tend to be a little sweeter. Again, terrible with the pictures. I need to start taking pictures right after I make it!

Not Your Average Dinner Salad
April 13th, 2010
I made this salad with my BBQ pizza recipe, and it complimented the meal quite well, picking up from the sweetness of the BBQ sauce.
Ingredients
- Romaine lettuce
- Spring greens
- Baby spinach
- Sliced strawberries
- Golden raisins
- Pecans
- Cherry tomatoes
- Chopped red onions
- Mango Ginger Stilton (if you can’t find that, get sweet goat cheese)
- Ken’s Sweet Vidalia Onion Vinaigrette (honey mustard or poppy seed might be good too)
Directions
- Get ready. This is a complicated salad to make. Take a deep breath. This completes step one.
- If your strawberries are not sliced, nor your onions chopped, make it so! Jean-Luc Picard commands it.
- Mix together the lettuce, strawberries, golden raisins, pecans, cherry tomatoes, and chopped red onions together. Crumble the cheese on top.
- Optional: if you don’t plan on having any left overs, mix in the dressing. Otherwise mix it on your individual plates.
- Pat yourself on the back. See, I told you it was hard, but you rose to the occasion.
The best barbecue pizza
April 13th, 2010
Sorry about the lack of a picture. I was so hungry that I didn’t even think about getting a picture until after it was demolished. Next time!
Once upon a time there was a Nick-n-Willy’s pizza place near my old apartment that has since closed down. They had the best BBQ pizza that I had ever had, and when the closed I was very sad. However, it is a happy day because I have perfected my recipe and have now moved the “best ever” to my creation! And now I shall share my knowledge of BBQ pizza with you lucky souls . I also made this salad to accompany it.
Chocolate Frosting Update
March 8th, 2010
I’ve perfected my chocolate frosting recipe, which is actually better tasting the day after. When I taste-test the frosting as I’m making it, it just tastes like powdered sugar and shortening. However, the next day there is no mistaking the rich chocolate texture, taste and color.
And, it starts… Plates

After being cooped up in our apartment for so long, we’ve neglected to make many purchases just to defer until we finally have a house, mostly because we just lacked the space. One such purchase included new dishes. Before we moved, John and I went to Homegoods and found some nice, white dishes for a pretty affordable price but didn’t want to buy them at the time because we were moving, and all of the expenses that come along with that. However, knowing the nature of inventory at stores like HomeGoods, we knew that we couldn’t wait long if we wanted to purchase them. Just this past weekend we went over and of course, they were completely sold out of the dinner plates! I was so disappointed.
