I received compensation from Alka-Seltzer® to create this Jalapeno Cilantro Coleslaw Recipe with Lime Vinaigrette. All opinions are entirely my own. #MyFoodMoment #CollectiveBias I met my husband years ago, during our starving college days. We weren't all that picky about the foods we ate. They needed to be cheap, plentiful, and preferably available at 3 AM on delivery. Fast forward a couple of decades and our taste buds have definitely matured. We have learned to love exotic foods, recipes with plenty of heat, and new flavor twists on old … [Read more...]

May 14, 2018 by · Leave a Comment

I have so much oregano, basil, and rosemary that I don't know what I am going to do with it all. Many classic Italian recipes often call for 'Italian Seasoning Blend'. Which, of course, I would then … [Read more...]

So, why make frosted grapes (AKA sugared … [Read more...]
