Beet pickled eggs are a delicious and healthy snack that is easy to make at home. Not only are eggs a great source of protein, but pickling them in a beet-based brine also adds a host of health benefits. Eggs are a great source of protein, vitamins and minerals, and are known to be one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. They are a great source of choline , a nutrient that is important for liver function, brain development and memory. Eggs also contain lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidants that are important for eye health. Pickling is a great way to preserve food and also add flavor. The process of pickling involves immersing food in a vinegar-based brine, which not only preserves the food but also adds a tangy and delicious flavor. Pickling also has a number of health benefits, as it can help to improve digestion, boost the immune system and even aid in weight loss. Beets are packed with vitamins and minerals, and are known to be particularly high in folate, manganese, and ...

Anyway, in 2014 we had a party. We got some goodies from TABASCO® through HouseParty.com and tried out three recipes using TABASCO®. Since the party, we've made this Zesty Bacon Cheddar Dip over and over again. We've brought it as a Thanksgiving appetizer, a Christmas appetizer, a party with our neighbors at their farm, birthday parties, Spring and Summer parties and even just because. This recipe is so easy to make and it makes a ton on a budget. Aside from the TABASCO®, the key ...
Making a salad isn't really a science, but there are so many things you can do to salad to mix things up. With salads being so inexpensive, I just can't bear to pay for a salad when I'm dining out. Fast food salads are boring and overpriced. The only time I'll pay for a salad at a restaurant is if I'm at Golden Corral. Then it's no longer a salad, but a giant mound of calories. Since the Mr. doesn't eat salads, it's almost like I'm making up for all the times I wish we had a side salad for dinner. I've switched things up a bit and I'm getting my salad fix at lunch. Mixed berries and nuts are just one of the ways I spruce up my salads. Now, I will give credit to Chick-Fil-A. Their Grilled Market Salad is actually edible and kinda worth the money. There is no chicken in this recipe, but you can always add it or your favorite protein. Another thing I could live without is the apple chunks. Aside from the mixed berries, the mint and ho...
Fingerling potatoes are very rich and flavorful. I'd call the flavor earthy and buttery. In this recipe, we use our favorite method to prepare potatoes; roasted with fresh herbs and flavor vegetables. Rosemary, garlic and sauteed onions are the sidekicks to bring out even more flavor. There are several varieties of fingerling potatoes that are rich in Vitamin C and Potassium. They include Purple Peruvian, French Fingerling, Ruby Crescent, and the Russian Banana varieties. Fingerlings are available all year round with a peak season in the late spring and early summer. They're a bit more pricey than your average spud, but totally worth it. This Tri-Color Roasted Rosemary Potatoes recipe is best in the cooler months if you're looking to conserve electricity. Fingerlings can be prepared in a number of ways; baked, boiled, roasted or even grilled. They really dress up your dinner plate and make a great holiday dish. Serve them along side your favorite protein, whether...
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, though I never eat it during the week and I'm too lazy to make it on the weekend. We used to pick up donuts and things from fast food or semi-fast food joints, but that just didn't satiate my taste buds. We tried Waffle House and Diners, but that became too expensive. There is nothing like a home-cooked breakfast. I've recently had the pleasure of making my own ham, egg and cheese sandwiches on an english muffin since we moved into the house, but for Father's Day I figured I could do a little more for Travis on Father's Day ( as an honorary soon-to-be Step Father ) for being such a positive influence in Nicholas's life. He'll be off this year, so I'm definitely shooting for a breakfast in bed. The hard part will be deciding which one of these 10 breakfast recipes to serve for Father's Day. As an anti-vegetarian, aka he hates vegetables , breakfast is actually one of the meals here I can sneak them in. I m...
