Colleen’s New England Clam Chowder

June 6, 2013

My sister makes a wicked delicious New England Clam Chowder. When she made it a while back, my family was in awe. Could something taste so good? We have her to make it any chance we get – like when we spend weekend afternoons at the winery. New England Clam Chowder screams summer. Pair it with lobster, scallops, hot dogs, hamburgers, etc. A delicious appetizer at any backyard picnic. Your…

Salmon Packets

June 3, 2013

Salmon – not only is it very good for you, it also makes a very friendly summer dinner. If you’re looking for an easy fish dish, you’ve come to the right place. We’re making Salmon Packets. All you’ll need is some salmon (or any other fish), butter, veggies, seasoning, some rice, and aluminum foil. Oh and don’t forget to pair with a nice glass of white wine… I loved having…

Shrimp Salad

May 10, 2013

We love Shrimp; we’ve made buffalo pizza, panini, cajun…we can go on and on. Shrimp can make a great addition to almost anything. What I love about the summer is when I can incorporate seafood into any meal. Although lobstahh is my first choice, shrimp comes in a close second; they are easy to prepare and are a small, delicious accessory to your dish. While on vacation, I had a…

Mama’s Seared Scallops

May 9, 2013

My mama, aka Mommy Marquis, aka Tammy loves scallops. Anytime we’re out at a seafood restaurant – well any restaurant – she’ll use that opportunity to hunt down scallops on the menu. I’m not sure why she loves them so much, maybe it’s equal to my addiction to chocolate? Loving scallops so much, my mom decided to start buying them at the seafood market and cooking them herself. She came up with…

Roasted Shrimp and Steak: Surf and Turf

May 6, 2013

It’s seafood week! To jumpstart summer, we’re going to feature a whole week of seafood-inspired dishes. Shrimp, salmon, scallops, some traditional, some experimental, but all delicious! Our first dish uses roasted shrimp atop a savory steak. I was craving steak and thought I could simply top the steak with some shrimp or scallops; I went for the shrimp. I roasted the shrimp in a lemon olive oil with a touch…

Perfect Baked Potato

March 15, 2013

Who doesn’t love a good baked potato? I made this last week when I was on my cleanse. A god send. Lightly salted, buttered, and fluffy – what more could you ask for? Rubbing butter and salting the potato is key. The skin will be crunchy, and will be a nice contrast to the fluffy inside. Ingredients: Russet or Idaho potato Some butter or olive oil Salt Directions: Preheat your…

Spinach Stuffed Chicken Parm

March 14, 2013

In the past few months, we’ve started stuffing chicken with different things. When we tried stuffing chicken cutlets, we found that to be a fail. So we decided to roll the chicken with filling lining the inside. We’ve done Spicy Chicken, Bacon Stuffed Chicken, and Spinach Stuffed Chicken. This led us to making these spinach stuffed chicken parm rollups. Fatima loves Italian food. After making those turkey parm meatballs, we’ve fallen into…

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, a nutritionist, nor a fitness guru. The purpose of this cleanse was to give an account of my overall experience and should not be used as your sole source for dieting information. Please consult your doctor before any diet changes or regimen. I found this cleanse on a site off of Pinterest, but it has disappeared from my board. I googled the Wonder Soup…

Cleanse Day 7: Rice

March 10, 2013

Cleanse Day 7: Today your food intake will consist of brown rice, fruit juices and all the vegetables you care to consume. Oh my! Today is the last day of the cleanse, woof! Rice, fruit juices, and veggies all day. I’m ok with rice, I could eat that and be satisfied all day. But after Fatima said I would be “backed up” if I ate only rice, I thought I…

Cleanse Day 6: Beef and Veggies

March 9, 2013

Cleanse Day 6: Beef and vegetables. Today you may eat an unlimited amount of beef and vegetables. Eat to your hearts content. Hunger ensues. I was so hungry this morning. I had the last piece of steak for breakfast with a side of sugar snap peas (the last of them). I officially ran out of veggies so I wasn’t able to pack a lunch. I thought I would leave my…

Cleanse Day 5: Feast Day

March 8, 2013

Cleanse Day Five: You will eat beef and tomatoes. Eat two 10 oz. portions of lean beef. Hamburger is OK. Combine this with six whole tomatoes. Increase your water intake by about a quart. This is to cleanse your system of the uric acid you will be producing. Today I get to eat steak, tomatoes, and drink lots of water. Boring? Maybe. I felt like it would be a normal…

Cleanse Day 4: Wonder Soup

March 7, 2013

Cleanse Day Four: Today you will eat as many as eight bananas and drink three glasses of milk. This will be combined with the special Wonder Soup which may be eaten in unlimited quantities. Gassy. That’s today’s word of the day. So today, I started the cleanse off with a banana, a bowl of soup, and a glass of milk. Weird? Yes. I made the soup last night in the…

Cleanse Day 3: Fruits and Veggies

March 6, 2013

Cleanse Day 3: A mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount, any quantity. No Bananas (yet), no potatoes. I licked an oreo today. I didn’t eat it, but I licked it, just once. Maybe twice…Those are just the cravings talking, not hunger. Surprisingly, I felt really good today on the cleanse. Energized, cleared mind, and lighter. I started off the day with guacamole (modified): 1 avocado, red…

Cleanse Day 2: Vegetables

March 5, 2013

Cleanse Day 2: All vegetables. Like with yesterday’s fruit, eat all the vegetables you want today! Start your day with a large baked potato for breakfast (see my prep work below). Remember to drink 10 glasses of water. Enjoy your baked potato. To help you get through the day, I included my baked potato recipe below. You’re allowed to use butter. This will be your complex carbohydrate. For the rest…

Cleanse Day 1: Fruit

March 4, 2013

I found this 7 day cleanse on Pinterest. But I can’t find it anymore. It disappeared from my board, so I hope that doesn’t mean it’s a scam… I’m trying this out because I’ve never done a cleanse before. I want to be able to try out the cleanse and give a first hand account day by day. I’m a HUGE sweet tooth, so I’m anticipating some strong cravings later…

Taco-less Chili

March 1, 2013

What I love most about a crock pot is the “set it and forget it” mentality. That feeling you get after a long day of work, and realize you have a warm dinner waiting for you when you walk into your house. The crock pot is a magical thing. You can make breakfast, lunch, dinner, and desserts for a family of four or for yourself for the week! This chicken…
