Hi All.... Susan and I of She's Becoming Doughmesstic decided to do a blog post swap for Super Bowl. If you want to see what I made head over to her site. Hello everyone! I’m thrilled to be here, guest posting for Miss Peabody, Queen of Sweet. Me? I’m Susan, and I have my own blog – She’s Becoming Doughmesstic. Over there you’ll find lots of sugary goodness, a few dinner worthy concoctions, breads, breakfasts…you name it. But like Peabody, I LOVE desserts, so you’ll find no lack of them there! When the two of us put this plan in motion, I had every intention of making you all something sweet. Cupcakes, brownies, cookies. But P probably has you covered there, so I opted to go a little savory, and present you with this incredible Sweet Potato Chili. After having survived a long and brutal winter, filled with lots of football and the foods that go along with it, I thought it was time to change the snacking line-up for this year’s Super Bowl. Sure, you need … [Read more...]
Spice, spice, baby….
Many of my friends are sad that Heidi Klum and Seal are divorcing and so very shocked as they seemed so happy (with the exception of my delusional guy friends who think they have a shot with Heidi now…hahahaha). A lot of people seem to be a lot of things. I firmly believe that people have three lives: a public life, a private life, and a secret life. People always tell me how open I am on here and what not, I can assure you that there are many a thing you don’t know, and well that’s okay. You don’t need to know everything about me. We don’t need to know everything about celebrities. I am not sure what happened along the way but it’s not our right to know what celebrities are doing at all times. I don’t care if they pump gas just like me. Or that they eat ice cream. They carry their own groceries. They aren’t like me. You know why? Because no one is following me around with a camera trying to take photos of me at the grocery store. Thank goodness too. If someone saw … [Read more...]
Lost in translation….
Even though I am allergic to all peppers, raw onions, raw tomatoes, cilantro, and pretty much anything that makes Mexican food Mexican food I surprisingly love to cook it. I love the smell of the onions and peppers cooking. I just don’t love the fact that I have to dress like I am going to a hazmat dinner party to do so. :) And while this is actually more Cuban than Mexican it does possess many of the things I am allergic to. So why would I make it? Same reason I cook half the time…for someone else. Spread the love. :D And with that I give you my first savory dish of the new year on the blog (most people voted yes on the savory…actually I am not sure if there was a no)…Ropa Vieja Stew. Now while Old Clothes Stew does sound yummy…we will ignore the direct translation. I promise there are not socks and underwear used in the making of this stew. :P This recipe comes from my favorite food magazine of all time Cuisine at Home. Seriously, I have yet to make something from there … [Read more...]
Panera’s Asiago Cheese Bread…as a pudding…
So you spoke and unlike a politician…I listened. :P When I asked what you loved at Panera Bread a ton of you said that you were all about the Panera Asiago Cheese Bread, which I had never tried. So last week I headed there for my bowl of French Onion like I always have and to buy some of that bread. I also deviated and got festive, going with the Easter egg shortbread cookie instead of my go to Cobblestone. I had planned on just making it into bread pudding so I cut into it to help it get stale quicker. My bff asked what was going on with the bread. I explained and he looked sad and asked why we didn’t just get to eat it. He wanted to eat it. So I told him that we could try a piece. Well, 5 minutes later and I only had a half a loaf left to work with. :) So that inspired a side dish for two. :D So I cut the remaining bread into cubes and hid them from a certain hockey player in hopes I would actually get to make the bread pudding. For the record, I totally get where you … [Read more...]
