We are staying home. While we go for walks with our dog, we always maintain the 6 feet or more from others. I do go to the grocery store every couple weeks to replenish produce. We are keeping busy by cooking, baking, painting, swimming, playing basketball, reading and watching Netflix and Hulu...

We want to make lollipops that are like Linda's Lollies or Dum Dums. When we bought cake pop molds they said they could also be used for lollipops but there were not any recipes included. My daughter and I have searched the internet for a recipe but can only find ones where the lollipops are...

I am drying them out for the first time right now in a dehydrator. I am looking forward to seeing how they turn out. The directions said to store in plastic bag/container in a dark area. Has anyone tried keeping them in oil in the fridge? That is how we have bought them in the past from Costco...

Add pureed chipotles to sour cream with a touch of salt. If you want the sauce thinner add a little cream or milk. It has great flavor. We use it as a condiment for breakfastlunch sandwiches & paninis but also great on grilled shrimp, tacos, roasted chicken, smoked pork, etc.

Steamed & served with hollandaise sauce!!! My very favorite treat as a kid!!! I loved scraping the leaves with my teeth & then devouring the heart drizzled in sauce. YUM! Whenever I head back to the States, I always buy fresh artichokes. One of the things I miss living in Mexico!!

I make 200 meatballs a week & fresh sauce three times a week. So I am confident to say that people like my meatballs & sauce. :ohmy: I have always made my meatballs with 1/2 Italian sausage & half ground beef. When I lived in NY, I used Gianelli hot Italian sausage but now that I live in...

My son's favorite calzone is with chocolate chips, peanut butter, honey & bananas! Once it comes out I drizzle it with with more chocolate. If we have fresh strawberries or raspberries that can be added too. So yummy!

My husband makes homemade biscuit & gravy every Saturday at our restaurant, Barlito on Isla Mujeres, MX. He would love this even bigger heart attack on a plate. We make our own sausage & the bacon down here is to die for. I will pass this new idea on to him!! Thanks!

We had caesar salad that included grilled chicken, bacon, cheese tortellini, romaine lettuce, croutons, zucchini, carrots, tomato, cucumber & yummy caesar dressing from a friend who own's BoBo's Fish & Chips on Isla Mujeres, MX. He was heading to North North America for the low season & made me...

If it looks like there is any dust in it or settled on the bottom, throw it out. Where we live little bugs eat the rice & create the dust if it is not used in a timely manner. Yuck!

My son is lighting the candle for the second night of Hanakkuh downtown at Olivia www.olivia-isla-mujeres.com This is the second year, he has been asked to do this. I love that he can participate in another religion's celebrations. So when we get back to our house we will enjoy last night's...

I love my dad's recipe it has sausage, celery, onion, almonds, dried apricots & Grand Marnier. It is so good!

I make homemade dressing when I cater, for our restaurant menu & when I have guests over but when it's just me eating salads at home....I always have Marzetti's poppyseed & asiago parmesan on hand. I also love a blush vinaigrette but I can't remember the brand. When I was pregnant with my...

Welcome to DC! I have been working on losing the baby weight. I started doing Yoga three times a week. That has really helped with the weight & it is so great to focus on breathing & stretching for an hour as opposed to all the things on my to do list! I have also limited my breakfasts to...

Tonights our date night. Not sure if hubby will be making me dinner then out for drinks or go out for dinner & drinks. Either way, sounds good to me!

My hubby caught a Yellowfin Tuna yesterday so we are having a little sushi/sashimi & then Tuna teriyaki with broccoli, cauliflower, carrots & rice and an argula salad with blackberries, red pepper, toasted pinenuts & balsamic vinaigrette. Maybe more sashimi for dessert!!

We are going out, yay, no clean up!! Not sure where yet, wish there was a place with air conditioning!! It is so hot & humid, I feel like I am melting. :)

My son (4 1/2) helps me prepare dinner. He likes to cut (with a butter knife) all the veggies. Of course, he insists on trying everything as he does it & then is excited for the end result because he helped mommy make it. My vegetables aren't necessarily pretty or evenly chopped but he...

We got take out & tried a new pizza place. Real NY style pizza in Mexico!!! It was great & no real cleanup just had to put some extra pieces in the fridge....mmmmm, pizza for breakfast!

I like to grill it & then put it in paella. Yum.

I made some fish chowder with porgy that my hubby caught on Tuesday with a salad. Double chocolate cookies for dessert.

We are having pepperoni, mushroom & sausage pizza. But I need to get off the computer & go make the dough, saute the mushrooms & make the sausage or we are never going to have dinner. And I am hungry!! :)

We are going to have grilled vegetables, grilled chicken (I can't decide if I'm going to marinate or herb encrust it) & a spinach salad with bacon, mushrooms, red onion & yellow pepper in a sherry mustard vinaigrette.

I also precook my vegetables & meats. I like that they are dryer & I prefer the taste. Mushrooms get a really strong mushroom taste when I cook them first with a little butter & saute until all the moisture is gone. I also prefer roasted red peppers & caramelized onions, both you need to...

I did "Eating Right For Your Blood Type" several years ago. I lost weight & felt great! I need to find my book & do it again! Good luck!
