Caramel Fudge Coconut Cream Pie – Delicious, Elegant and You Can Prep It In Minutes!

On May 20, 2013, in Dessert, Freezer Cooking (Batch Cooking, Once-a-Month Cooking, OAMC), Recipe, by Glenda Embree

Let me make this emphatic disclaimer, from the outset. THIS is decadently creamy, richly delicious and soul-satisfying, once-in-a-blue-moon dessert. It is NOT what we eat everyday, (but, oh Baby, you will be tempted. :) ) and no one is more aware than myself, that it has no redeeming health properties, whatsoever. Please don’t send me [...]

On April 28, 2013, in Budget-wise, Freezer Cooking (Batch Cooking, Once-a-Month Cooking, OAMC), In the Kitchen, Mexican Food, Recipe, Snacks, Vegetables, by Glenda Embree

We love Mexican food in this house. We’ve discovered, though, that we probably prefer an Americanized version of it.

On April 11, 2012, in Appetizers, Breakfast, Freezer Cooking (Batch Cooking, Once-a-Month Cooking, OAMC), In the Kitchen, Lunch, Pasta, Rice and Grain, Recipe, Side Dishes, by Glenda Embree

I’m always on the lookout for quick-fix breakfast options and ways to prepare tasty meatless meals. I’ve recently been experimenting with incorporating more quinoa (say KEEN – WAH) into our meal plans, so I’m pretty enthusiastic about blending all three goals into this yummy recipe. Switching up or adding even more veggies is going to [...]

Fiesta Bake! This Recipe’s a Keeper! PLUS My NuWave Precision Induction Cooktop Review

On February 10, 2012, in Casseroles, Freezer Cooking (Batch Cooking, Once-a-Month Cooking, OAMC), In the Kitchen, Main Dish, Mexican Food, Recipe, Reviews, by Glenda Embree

UPDATE: It is with great sadness that I can no longer endorse the company producing and marketing the NuWave PIC. I LOVE, seriously LOVE the product, but the manner in which they charge for shipping is, in my opinion, not ethical. The product is worth far more than the $99 being charged for it; and [...]
