I have a confession to make. I ate massive amounts of this. Massive. Amounts. I felt guilty afterwards and needed comforting so; I had another helping. This beef stroganoff was the perfect dish to go all out with. First of all, let me just say, I Love ME SOME PASTA!! The tender beef and creamy hello portobello mushroom sauce and let’s not forget the SAHHHWEET Zima tomatoes made for the perfect meal. Vacation is coming to a close, I’m returning home soon -my eating regimen is shot, and I’m 3 lbs heavier… Oh well, next week I’ll drown my taste buds in green smoothies, run 10 miles on the treadmill, do…

SOUR CREAM AND ONION CRUSTED CHICKEN TENDERS
Hi, Monday! Good Morning! Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. My weekend was filled with the usual cooking, cleaning, laundry, errands and very little sleep. My much-needed vacation is right around the corner Yahoo! I can’t wait. Did I just say Yahoo? See. I need a vacation. About these chicken tenders.

HEMP DATE MILKSHAKE
Don’t laugh at my Coca-Cola glass. 🙂 It’s my new favorite go-to drinking glass. I have the notion that if I drink out of it long enough, I’ll take on its shape. You have to admit, the shape of this glass is FIERCE! So it’s day 3 and going strong! This week commenced our family’s Dietbet challenge. I’m doing well, I haven’t quit nor have I scarfed down a medium pan Wisconsin 6 cheese pizza with a side order of cheese breadsticks and a diet Pepsi- Sorry flashback, but I have been feeling sluggish and ravenous around 3:00 in the afternoon. So rather than binge out on chips, cookies,…

ASPARAGUS FRITTATA WITH WILD SMOKED SALMON
Hi, Monday! Care for an Asparagus Frittata? This frittata is guaranteed to get you out of bed even on Martin Luther King. Jr. Holiday. I’m new to the frittata scene this Oh, so delicious, warm and cheesy bake was devoured by the fam over the weekend ok, so I participated in the devouring. My family loves eggs; we eat them for breakfast at least twice a week, but this dish up’d my egg game big time #browniepointsformom. So, I did what any Mom would do; I added it to our weekender rotation + we love wild smoked salmon especially when it’s fried it sends your palate on cloud nine with…

Rise and Shine, cute Muffins! Rise. And. Shine. Just what I need to get me over hump day. This has been one hectic week thus far, let’s see. It’s tax season. It’s tax season, did I mention it’s tax season? Ugh! And I have the distinct honor and pleasure *side eye* of preparing our taxes right before we leave for vacation. Ain’t that a trip! But I’m not one to complain. 😉 Because my week just got sweeter with these golden delights. To satisfy my insatiable muffin-related desires, these muffin loves were baked 1, 2, 3 times! Who can’t resist a batch of warm muffins fresh from the…

Yes, we were defeated by the Green Bay Packers :(, but we played SPECTACULAR football this season. #dallascowboysnextyearsuperbowl. Next Monday, I will participate in my family’s Dietbet weight loss challenge.

I just love smoothies they are loaded with healthy, sweet ingredients and so easy to make. I used the most usable items I had on hand to make this…

SAY IT AIN’T SNOW
This is what I woke up to yesterday morning. Our first snow of the year and our first snow of the season now that I think about it. I just love snow, but not too much 4-6 inches will do, just enough to make snowballs and snowmen. This is the kind of weather where you eat all things Comforting, Creamy, and Cheesy. Foods like Mac and Cheese, Chili, Casseroles you know all the indulgent foods. I sure could go for a casserole right about now. Schedule weekend comfort treat -check! So. What is Taste of Yummy? The best way to describe it would be like drowning your taste…
