First of all – can someone contact Father Time and ask him where this year went? One minute I'm yippin' about it being the end of 2011 and now it's the end of 2012. So, with that said, let's take a moment to look back on the past year and plot out the culinary (and blog) goals for 2013. 2012 was a bit of a continuation of 2011 with continuing medical issues with the Sous Pug. He's had yet another surgery, recently learned he now has diabetes and, as of this weekend, his vet might have an … [Read more...]

Missing The Sous Pug

November 14, 2012 By 6 Comments
Wiggs-Remote

I had a great recipe for you and was going to upload it but found myself totally distracted and not "in the mood."  See, for the past couple of weeks, my little guy has been not feeling good - pretty much since around the time of the hurricane.  We lost power for a few days and, while we have gas heat and hot water, it's an electric ignition for the furnace.  Needless to say, it was FREEZING and the Sous Pug is so sensitive to any extremes in temperature.  The pug starts panting if the house … [Read more...]

Looking To Organize Your Fridge – Let Today Show You How

October 10, 2012 By 1 Comment
Organized-Fridge

One of my biggest kitchen issues (besides the dreaded pantry), is organizing my fridge and freezer.  My fridge is often packed full of ingredients, condiments galore and, yes, there's a whole SousPug section. (The pug has his own area for his chicken, pasta, melon and his favorite cheese.)  It's a balancing act and in dire need of an intervention. The other night, I went to grab the SousPug's pasta and chicken out of the fridge and, as if in slow motion, the glass storage container that … [Read more...]

Roasted Tomato Corn and Black Bean Salad – A Perfect Summer Side Dish

July 5, 2012 By 10 Comments
Roasted Tomato Corn and Black Bean Salad

This heatwave that has Philly (and much of the Northeast) wrapped up in its clutches is brutal – so much so that I am starting to wonder if I'm back living in the humid trenches of Orlando again. I walk out of the house and *boom* the humidity hits like a brick. Add to that the Sous Pug with his issues with the heat (he had heat exhaustion many moons ago) and if you ask him to leave his 70-degree abode, he will probably look at you like you are nuts, plop his butt down and demand watermelon as … [Read more...]

Weekly Question: Meal Planning

November 9, 2011 By 5 Comments
questionmark.jpg

Let's revive the weekly question, shall we? This week's question: Do You Plan Your Meals For The Week?   I have to confess - I do not. I'm one of those gals who wanders through the grocery store and buys what she thinks might be perfect for the week and, quite frankly, my wallet (and this blog) is ready to kick my butt to Timbuktu. I plan the Sous Pug's meals weekly and his grocery list looks like this: 5 lbs. chicken or pork, 2 lbs. pasta, bananas (for treats), fresh watermelon … [Read more...]

Wiggy-Mary

It's been a pretty tough six months - between the Sous Pug's multiple diagnoses, switching to a new (and fabulous vet) who finally figured out what was wrong, to major surgery for both his bladder stones and pancreatitis, and now we're prepping for Surgery No. 2. … [Read more...]

Tried and True: Chipotle Tamale Pie

September 7, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Chipotle Tamale Pie

Recently, I noticed that my DVR decided to record an episode of Simply Delicioso on the Cooking Channel.  Ingrid Hoffmann was making a Chipotle Tamale Pie and I made a mental "must try note."  Then, over Labor Day weekend, I picked up the fall issue of Popular Plates Magazine and lo and behold there is Ingrid with the same recipe.  When something crosses my path a couple of times, I tend to pay attention and decided there was no time like the present to give this recipe a whirl. With the … [Read more...]

Tried and True: Baked Shroom Rice

August 24, 2011 By 1 Comment
Baked Shroom Rice - Final

Rice and I are far from strangers. The Sous Pug's new home-cooked diet requires that he have quite a bit of rice daily and I'm constantly cooking it. It got to be where I finally gave in and invested in a rice cooker to make life a bit easier than standing over a stove and possibly burning it (not that I've EVER done that *cough cough*). Claire Robinson made a dish recently on 5 Ingredient Fix - Baked Shroom Rice - and she promised that it was pretty much foolproof. She was not kidding - it … [Read more...]
