Crab Cake Redux
I made crab cakes with a red pepper aioli for Father’s Day and they came out very good… but not great (at least by my standards). I had some of the crab mixture left, so I decided to try another take on the crab cakes. For the second batch, I decided to serve them pan-fried (vs. baked) with...
Mind and Body Detox — Week 2
Ummm… NOT.
I didn’t do awful… I just didn’t really try to keep to a strict diet and detox.
I got to the gym (for yoga) on Monday and Friday. I worked out with my personal trainer on Tuesday. I made several juices and salads that were great. I will post separately about...
One kitchen gadget you CAN live without…
Yesterday I talked about one kitchen gadget I can’t live without. Today I’m going to tell you about one kitchen gadget you CAN live without. Don’t waste your money (like I did) on a non-stick, individual egg poacher like this one from Crate and Barrel:
It’s been sitting in...
If life’s a bowl full of cherries, why do I have all pits?!
Well, that would be due to my “can’t-live-without” kitchen gadget: the Cherry Pitter. I LOVE this tool… and honestly, I use it all the time. I even used to it pit Lychees once… but it didn’t work too well because the Lychee pits were a bit too big and therefore,...

Father’s Day Feast cont. — Gluten-free Blueberry Corn Muffins

Father’s Day Feast — Meal 1 (Breakfast)
Phew… am I glad that’s over! And as you can see by this picture… I had a pretty big mess to clean:
So… what did the day hold? First up was breakfast… with the help of the 4-yo. We made Daddy scrambled eggs with cheese, turkey sausage and homemade orange juice! Here is how...
Mind and Body Detox — Prep Week
By Tammy (BFW) in Healthy & Diet, Juicing & Detox, Me & My Blog, Recipes, Vegetarian on Jun 22nd, 2009 | No Comments
I decided to start doing a clean-up this past week… my mind, my body, my house, etc. I planned on getting back on track withe my eating… ramping up to another juice fast — this time allowing for either one meal a day or raw fruits and veggies (like salads) along with the juices. I did...
It’s strawberry season!!!
I found this adorable colander (it’s one from a set of three) in TJ Max and couldn’t resist grabbing it… even though I have NO idea what I would use it for. I figured it would be a good prop for pictures though… and decided to use it to show off these fresh strawberries I bought. Doesn’t...
Starbucks fixed their lids… but do their cups seem smaller to you too???
By Tammy (BFW) in BFW's Favorites, Hot Gossip, Rants & Raves, Restaurants on Jun 19th, 2009 | 1 Comment
A while back, I wrote about the “Starbucks Straw Conundrum“. Starbucks had introduced a new lid — that is more environmentally friendly and is made with more recycled material (which is a GOOD thing) — but that also caused the straws to collapse, preventing you from drinking your...
