So this chick seems to have it all. She’s a food network star, she’s wealthy (I heard her father is rich too), she’s gorgeous and she manages to eat pasta all day and not gain a pound. I put all of those negatives aside and decided to try out her Chicken Piccata recipe. I don’t know [...]

I try not to do too many of Paula’s recipes because she is DANGEROUS! lol I truly believe Paula would fry money if it didn’t cost so much. However, after reading several reviews on her “Lady and Sons Lasagna” and looking at the ingredient list, I HAD to try her out. This lasgana was FANTASTIC! [...]

I recently purchased a “Cook’s Illustrated; America’s Test Kitchen” magazine. Let me tell you, for instructional material, they have it on lock. Not only do they provide step-by-step guides, they let you know exactly WHY grandma’s recipe was sometimes hit or miss and why the variation and alteration you have in mind could possibly render [...]

Digging up Patti’s Cookbook (mentioned in the previous post) I also found The New Woman’s Day Cookbook. I think it belongs to my mom but after these great recipes, I think I’m going to have to keep it. The recipe called for a cake pan but I put it in a muffin pan. I made [...]

Ohhh Weeeeee…this was a HOT one! I once prided myself as being able to eat some pretty hot stuff so diving right into the “Spicy like Me” chapter of Legendary Patti LaBelle’s Recipes for the Good Life cookbook happened without the least bit of caution. But baybaeeeee, this songbird put me in my place….stagehand. lol Don’t get [...]

Diva Squared Chicken Salad

Posted in Random Fierceness | No comments

My mom and I teamed up in the kitchen again and decided to make the best of the extra chicken from our 4th of July Bar-b-que and made a chicken salad to end ALL chicken salads. No, for real…lol. Ideally, this chicken would’ve been grilled but we had waaaay too much meat and waaay too [...]

This weekend we were all set to celebrate my sister’s (first ever) job offer as a recently graduated RN at a local hospital. (YAY TERA!!) Carrabba’s was definitely the spot for such an occasion. Anywho, it took us a minute but we eventually realized that “job offer” did not equal immediate cash so we were [...]
