Wow Chow Cooking

I can’t say I am terribly fond of baked ziti. It tends to be dry and a bit tasteless to me. I am very find of Italian dishes but baked ziti seems to be very… American. lol. American style is great for a citizen watch or architecture, but I think American food tends to be [...]

I have NEVER been fond of tuna casserole. My mom used to make it with some kind of nasty, pasty flour-y white sauce… and then she added PEAS to it!! *shudder* Even thinking about it again makes my spinal column quiver with queasiness. YUKYUKYUK SO it took a team of horses to drag me into [...]

Oh have I got a new recipe for you!! This is our new favorite. I’m sorry I don’t have any photos– the food is gone as soon as I cook it! It’s an easy to make, light meal that is very satisfying. Easy Shrimp & Chicken Garlic Pasta Serves 6-8 hungry people 1 5-lb bag [...]

I went to a Chili’s restaurant for the first time last week. I’m not terribly fond of Mexican food, and I admit I did hesitate a little when going in there. But I ordered some chicken quesadillas, and they were quite yummy. I was astonished at the portion sizes there, I couldn’t even eat half [...]

While I am not a big fan of casseroles (making them or eating them), my daughter threw this together today and it was good! We wanted to use up a lot of the leftovers in the fridge, and make something hearty, to boot. Here’s our potpourri of ingredients (sorry about the small photo, you practically [...]

Looks like FFoF is back! Here are the questions for this week: Tell me either the four strangest things or four non-food items that are in your fridge. Hmmmmm… this is a toughie. I think I’m pretty average when it comes to food…. I’ll try my best here. 1. Hummus. Three packs. My daughter loves [...]

My daughter put this plate of leftovers together for me. WOW, it’s terrific! Looks simple, and it IS simple, but so healthy. The dish uses all leftovers. The daughter quickly steamed some broccoli and kale, and placed it on a plate of leftover Jasmine rice. She dribbled a little bit of leftover pot roast broth [...]

My husband was STARVING and had only a few minutes between jobs to eat. I had nothing prepared. As a matter of fact, all I had were some spurious leftover fragments, an old roast beef hump that I had to cook soon, and some bottles of witch hazel and salicylic acid wash in the fridge [...]

I can’t believe how expensive those “instant” smoothies are, in the freezer section. Holy cow. I think they are $3 a package?! We got a blender, a very nice one, from a dear friend. My daughter has taken it upon herself to create smoothies (mostly because I have been busy reviewing electronics and renovating the [...]

We have another One Question Quiz, and interesting one. What can you make with meat or poultry, rice, cheese and a vegetable? Hmmmm. I’m not very fond of rice or chicken. And while I like cheese, I am fussy about my cheese (only Mozzarella, Swiss, and American). So this one has me as stumped as [...]
