Pepperoni Pizza Puffs - StumbleUpon
If I ask my kids what they want for dinner, there's a ninety percent chance they will say pizza. They love it, as most kids do. I guess I have an affection for it too, but we don't indulge too often. If I had to choose a favorite pizza, it would be the Hawaiian, but no one else in my household appreciates its flavors like I do, too bad for them. So when my kids came home from school and I had this afternoon snack waiting for them, they were pretty excited to be having pizza at 3 PM. Okay, so was I, can you blame me?

The cold weather months really put me in the mood for grilled cheese sandwiches and soups.

Elsie also brought her panini maker over to my house, it was my first time using one and I've got to say- I'm now a huge fan! We made 9 different grilled cheese variations for our family to choose from, some savory some sweet.

By the time this past weekend hit, I think anything requiring technique or poise in the kitchen would have had induced some kind of cerebral short circuiting – I imagine there would have been sparks, probably some twitching and likely even drool. Okay fine, so there might have been drool anyway. Actually, when the cake emerged, there was probably drooling and clapping.

The 13 Biggest Nutrition and Food Myths Busted
Behind most food and nutrition myths, there's a kernel of truth. We separate the science from the silliness. When I was a teenager, I steered clear of chocolate. Not because of the calories or even the fat (which was considered the ultimate evil back in the ’70s).

No Meat Quinoa Chili Recipe
Man, I love Quinoa. As a carb, I’ve always used it to replace brown rice and pasta for a clean, protein-packed, nutritionally dense side dish but… just a few nights ago my lovely Lady-Friend (Coach MC, of course) gave Quinoa a whole new life with a meat-free chili recipe. It’s obviously higher in carbs but they’re clean, fibrous and protein rich. To boost the protein in the meal, I wash it down with a serving of whey.
Scalloped Hasselback Potatoes
“Scalloped” is an attractive word, isn’t it? When I hear it I think of several things: first, there’s scallops, as in the seafood—totally delicious. Then there’s the scalloped shape that can live on the edge of a pair of shorts or on the collar of a woman’s blouse—always pretty and dainty. And of course scalloped potatoes also comes to mind, which carries my imagination to a land of crispy potato skins drenched in a sea of cheese and cream.
