Creamy Corn Salad

Do you or does anyone you know have an avocado addiction? Do you know the symptoms or where you can seek help?
Hello, my name is Seth, and I have an avocado addiction.
Around my house, avocados don’t stand much of a chance. We try to make a salad several nights a week, and they always make an appearance in the salads. Now, it seems, they are making their way into other dishes (although, this one is still a salad, just not of the green variety).

Creamy Chicken Stuffed Portabellos

“I’ve never met a mushroom I didn’t like”. That is my Dad’s favorite way to joke with us about his mushroom fascination. No, not the special ‘shroom variety, but hey… a nicely prepared mushroom can be just as magical.

P.B. Curry Stir Fry

Going back to my review of P.B.Loco’s Asian Curry Spice Peanut Butter, I am thinking my conclusion may be correct. If you remember, I said that I think that particular flavor of peanut butter would be more suited to use in cooking than to eat by itself. Well, the other night, I put it to the test. I whipped up a quick stir fry, and made a sauce using the curry peanut butter. It turned out to be very good. I guess you could say …

Sweet ‘n’ Tangy Carrots

Aren’t carrots great? Not only do they provide lots of nutrients and add great color, but they are also incredibly cheap! We have been finding them for about $. 69 / lb. So, if you are looking for a super cheap and easy side dish to top off your next meal, why not opt for the orange?
I made these Sweet ‘n’ Tangy Carrots for a Christmas potluck dinner recently. Unfortunately, you may see from the picture that I forgot to add the fresh parsley. Somehow, …
