Today is National Noodle Day. Since I have been sitting on a recipe for a noodle kugel for some time, I decided to try it out today!
This is a rich, dairy dessert style kugel, but there are many varieties of sweet or savory kugel.
I altered the recipe found on the link above in the following ways: Continue reading

“Eggs in Clouds”
To view the full, original Rachael Ray Magazine recipe click here.
The original recipe called for chives, but my chives plant looked a little worn out, so I substituted dried tarragon. Tarragon plays well with chicken, so I figured it would be a nice flavor to add to eggs as well.
In order to lighten up the meal, I skipped the bacon crumbles. If you decide to use the bacon, I would suggest cooking it off in advance so that it won’t be smoking hot when you add it to the egg whites mixture. If you would like to substitute the bacon, I think you could include chopped roasted red peppers or peppadews, either would add flavor and color to this dish, just blot off some the of moisture before adding.

I have been on the hunt this year for a revitalizing, refreshing and flavorful GREEN smoothie. I have tried a variety of recipes thus far involving spinach, grapes and cucumbers among other fruits and veggies.
Last month, I purchased a copy of Oprah magazine (mainly for the clutter busting tips, as I am a big fan of organizing). The issue contained a few recipes including one for a kale based juice! Check out the recipe here. Continue reading

In my last post, I mentioned that I am the proud new owner of a Vitamix high performance blender. I have been dying to get this tool in my kitchen for some time and it was a VERY special Christmas gift. I have been making soups, frozen desserts, fruit smoothies and even frozen cocktails in this appliance.
A few days ago, inspired by an article in Bon Appetit Magazine, I made the above pictured veggie based elixir. I always try to use up what I already have in my refrigerator/pantry, so I put my own spin on the recipe. Continue reading
THINGS I ATE:
7. Cranberry Mustard from the Wisconsin Cheeseman. My turkey sandwiches would not have been the same without this delightful little condiment. I got a jar in January and I can honestly say that as long as the company continues to make this product, I will have a jar in my refrigerator going forward.
6. Best of Soup Appetizer at The Chart House Restaurant. The perfect appetizer for this soup lover who wanted to try ALL the soups on the menu. Three perfect tasting size portions, in a beautiful formation of ramekins, included a New England style Clam Chowder, a sherry kissed Lobster Bisque and a chilled Gazpacho.
5. Jersey Devil Chocolates. I have tried a lot of spicy sweet chocolate bars and products from all over the world but this brand knocked out the competition. Dark chocolate, chipotle chili and cranberries are combined in a delicate balance of exquisite goodness. I found Jersey Devil Chocolates to be the ultimate chocolate bar / candy treat this year.
