The Taste of the Sisterhood has been a blessing to me and my dwindling recipe repertoire if I might say so myself. I hope you’ve been trying some of our wonderful recipes and if you have, please link up here if you’ve posted about them or tell us which ones you’ve tried! That’s what this Monthly … [Read more…]

Thanksgiving.  Christmas.  Hannuakah.  Kwanza.  New Year’s Eve.  New’s Year’s Day. A lot of holidays happen during the next six weeks.  It’s a love-hate relationship:  you love to eat everything but you hate how it makes you feel and look.  If you are like me, it does appear that my jeans shrink … [Read more…]

I only have sweet potatoes at Thanksgiving, and usually laden with butter, brown sugar, marshmallows and pecans.  Not so good for me, eh?  I love the taste of sweet potatoes and while I had heard “they are good for you”, I never really knew why until I started researching for this post. My friend … [Read more…]

One of my favorite things in life is one of the simplest: pizza. But I think I like my own better than the delivery kind and you can try it out for yourself and let me know what you think! The sauce is homemade, you use a yummy premade whole wheat crust, some fresh mozzerella and some fresh basil … [Read more…]

Today, I post a recipe for Oatmeal Applesauce Muffins that has gotten me through so many situations, including the one this weekend in which I am doing my first half-iron distance triathlon, probably right now as we speak and as you read this! (I sure hope I’m doing well right now!) What did I have … [Read more…]

I hate to say it, but I have to admit that I like the taste of the small hamburgers at MacDonald’s.  I know, I know- bad me but I didn’t say that I actually eat them hardly ever.  I’m not sure what it is about those small, little burgers but they taste so yummy (and flat, lol) to me.  C’mon, I can’t … [Read more…]

Whose is it??? Hmmmmm…. Well, it has something to do with Butternut Squash and a stew and if you’re recognizing it already, then it’s probably you, DEBRA! So thank you for sending it in!! First off, this month’s project is to try at least one recipe a week from our Taste of the Sisterhood … [Read more…]

I’m going to be honest here, I’ve posted this recipe before, but it really is one of my favorite Sunday dishes (I eat dinner with my parents every Sunday) and I thought it’s worth posting again. Add a side like grilled veggies and you have the perfect Sunday supper. Modifications: Sometimes I … [Read more…]

How do you round out the perfect hangover brunch? With a perfect Bloody Mary of course! Because: I am reviewing the delicious array of V8 juices this week and decided that a V8 cocktail would be a great way to tie the two in and… And because I’ve never even had a bloody mary before … [Read more…]

Happy November! Really? It’s November? If you haven’t noticed already, there is a “festival” of sorts going on around here and if we could actually send you food through the computer it would be like a yummy food sample festival with all the yummy recipes that we’re posting each day. But it’s … [Read more…]

Seeing that November is Taste of the Sisterhood month, I figured it only appropriate to share one of my favorite, healthy, quick and easy recipes with you. The best part about it is that it’s not only delicious and low calorie, but it will spice up your love life too. That’s right. This breakfast … [Read more…]

This week has been an eye opener for me. Do you have any idea how much frozen chicken I have? And how many bags of bagged salad I throw away weekly? It’s so sad! So for week one of our Pantry Purge Project here at the Sisterhood, I have made almost all of the frozen chicken I had stores of and … [Read more…]

So it’s Friday and it’s my turn to share with you something food-related.  I could talk about fiber and how good it is for you or I could talk about the benefits of any host of fruits and veggies, BUT I would rather share with you a recipe, because I like to cook and I like to try new recipes and I … [Read more…]

Have you ever tried chicken sausage? It’s fantastic. I never even knew it existed until I began the journey into calorie-counting and I found it as an ingredient for something on Spark People. Its whereabouts in the grocery store perplexed me so I wandered around looking for it and found it … [Read more…]
