I love condiments, so it is no surprise I love dips.  All kinds of dips…not one I would turn down.  Well, a seafood dip I might turn down (I don’t eat anything from the water….I know, weird!).  I came across this Spicy Bleu Cheese Dip from Eatingwell.com and think it looks just delicious!  A perfect [...]

Steak and Shake!

June 2nd, 2009 · 3 Comments · Big Pickle, Dinner recipes, Food recipes, Healthy Recipes

No, not that Steak n Shake!  Although I am quite fond of that one!  Those skinny fries are the best!  And since they are so skinny, it means there are less calories right??
This is steak and shake because it is so easy-peasy and it doesn’t take long to throw it all together.  This is Grilled [...]

Do I have any spinach in my teeth?

May 28th, 2009 · 8 Comments · Big Pickle, Breakfast Recipes, Food recipes, Healthy Recipes, Lunch recipes

My sister cannot even put as much as a little crumb in her mouth without asking me afterward if she has anything in her teeth!  Every SINGLE time!
I wish I could just install a swivel mirror that attaches to the back of her head and she could swivel it on around everytime she needs to [...]

Bleu light special!

May 22nd, 2009 · 4 Comments · Big Pickle, Dinner recipes, Food recipes, Healthy Recipes

This Herbed Balsamic Chicken with Bleu Cheese from Epicurious looks really delicious.  If I liked Bleu cheese, I might even think it tasted delicious–but it’s not always about me (I’m told)!  I know LOTS of people who are very fond of the ‘ol Bleu, my husband being one of them!

I think this is perfect for [...]
