Well, I was skeptical but Nathan’s Chili in a pouch isn’t half bad. It’s actually really good. I made roasted potatoes, southwest chopped salad, baked beans, Cajun butter & salted corn & mustard & fresh chopped onion coney dogs.They were fantastic! That’s one of the things I miss about being away from Michigan—-there are Coney Island restaurants on every corner.
Wishing everyone a fantastic weekend. Relieved to be able to sleep in tomorrow!! Xo j 💚 New Orleans inspired me to buy beignet mix & I had a box left that has been sending me subliminal messages for a month now: “Open open open me up!” So, I did. They are absolutely delicious, light & airy with just enough sweetness! Simply mix with water and fry at 325F until golden. Liberally pour the confectioner sugar over top, sides, bottom & all crevices lol for the real Nola experience. Of course, you cannot have these without a piping cup of fresh brewed coffee!
I maybe under the weather, but my kitchen gives me life! Happy Saturday. Xo j 💚 What are your food plans for the weekend? I’ve been ill for a week now. What started as a common cold, blew up into an upper respiratory infection. Good times...and an ED visit on top of things during the week. I’d like to stay hibernated all weekend and be served breakfast, lunch & dinner!
I need rest! My favorite comfort “bbq ish weekend food” meal idea is simple. I love a crispy crunchy natural casing hot dog and playing with the different toppings. Baked beans are a favorite as well. Picnic food doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive. In a world of complexities, keep your meals simple. Please remember, and gently explain to those who truly do not understand, the meaning of Memorial Day! It is a day to remember & pray for our fallen service members. Our freedom is certainly not free! We should never forget how lucky we are to be citizens of the United States of America! God Bless America! Xo j ❤️🙏💙 15 Year’s ago, my sweet sister, at the tender age of 19, graciously boarded a plane and helped me navigate motherhood with my identical twin boys. So, when it was her turn to have a spontaneous twin pregnancy, it was my turn to return the favor. My heart goes out to any mom of multiples (especially spontaneous ones) because it’s such hard work. So many times over the years I have had women say: “I want to have twins. One shot and it’s done.” And I’m thinking, and most times blurt out, “no, you don’t!” Anyway, her baby boys are beyond beautiful; and, unlike mine, they are only fussy when they are hungry.
I took my two littles to experience the fun. They LOVE them too! It was a great girls’ getaway. Sunce they are her babies, I won’t post pics of them; but, I’ll post the two breakfasts I got to make in her kitchen. Happy Spring almost Summer!!💛 Xo j Because I don’t have the energy to talk about the smoked ribs & recount my recipe for the dry rub and sauce for wet mopping, let’s stick to the corn.
I simmer the ears with 1 tsp (or maybe a little more) of seafood boil seasoning and a tsp of butter. It makes for such flavorful corn. Try it sometime. Hoping everyone had a fantastic Sunday! Xo j 💚 ...and the Savor This team💛 Well....the last two weeks I could have done without....so, I went inward.
Today, being Mother’s Day, I’d like to wish all of the hard working moms a very special day. I said I wasn’t cooking but it’s where I find my peace. Yesterday, I made fajitas. The best way to make them is simply to season your steak of choice well with a dry rub of salt, pepper, garlic, taco seasoning, and something spicy 🌶....grill on medium heat 4 minutes, half turn and another 4 minutes...then flip just one time and continue grilling for 5 minutes. Take off and put in a covered bowl. Let them rest 15 minutes. Then slice on the bias. Take those tender, juicy flavorful pieces and fill a scorched tortilla with sautéed onions & peppers, cheese, etc & crisp red pepper chips.... Now, try something different: 1 tbsp cilantro paste 1 tbsp garlic paste 2 tbsp water 1 tsp taco seasoning 4 drops of Savage Jerky Reaper hot sauce whisk and drizzle over the top of each taco for that extra kick of flavor..... And that’s how you add a signature touch to an old favorite! Happy Mother’s Day!❤️ Xo Team “Savor This”💚 |
Decadent can be healthy....
