Tasty Tuesday: Fatburger

This weekend I went to Fatburger for the first time ever.  That's right, EVER!

Easy Marinated Cucumber Salad

Cucumber is so delicious, and one of my favorite foods.  It is cool, fresh and crisp and pairs beautifully with tangy, zesty flavors.

Women for Women Wednesday: Holly Marie Combs

Holly Marie Combs played the beloved Piper for 8 seasons on Charmed, which happens to be one of my favorite TV shows.

Tasty Tuesday: Deep Fried Shrimp

I don't ever deep fry food (I admit to being a total wuss), I rarely order it, and I don't even try the novelties at the fair, but I do have an inexplicable weakness for fried seafood.  Calamari is ALWAYS a good choice, as is deep fried shrimp!

Baked "Poutine" Yams

Poutine has become so popular over the last few years, but I don't eat french fries very often.  So I decided to change it up and mix the great aspects of poutine into a baked yam.

Women for Women Wednesday: Christina Aguilera

I LOVE Christina Aguilera.  I don't care what her image is or what era she is channeling; she is amazing.

Jade Blend Rice

I love Bulk Barn and I always find interesting new things to try there.  Unfortunately, they keep their rice in  dispensers in the candy aisle (which I try to avoid) so I missed out on trying this delicious rice mix for a very long time!

Maple Bread French Toast

Superstore just put out a new maple loaf, and it is perfect for making french toast!

Women for Women Wednesday: Jana Kramer

I only discovered Jana for the first time when she appeared as Alex Dupre on One Tree Hill.  I found her charming and funny as Alex, but her voice is what really captivated me.

Tasty Tuesday: Chicken Taco Salad

I am not a fan of beef tacos in any way at all (bad experience when I was younger), but I have so much love for chicken taco salad.  As with most things, the absolute best is usually homemade, so I finally caved and bought one of those metal dishes for baking tortilla shells into bowls.  What a good investment!

Amped Up Cream of Mushroom Soup

Warning: if you are anti-canned food, leave now.  Sometimes, we just don't have the time or energy to make everything 100% homemade.  There is nothing wrong with that and, with a few special touches, the results can be delicious!

Women for Women Wednesday: Katie Melua

Katie Melua has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard.

Tasty Tuesday: Roscato Rosso Dolce

I am a major lover or Moscato wine and almost never drink red wines, but when I walked past this bottle of Roscato in the store, I knew that I had to try it.
