Blasian
My sister Desiree has called me Blasian since I can remember; Black Asian. I have always had a fondness for all types of Asian food. I blame my best friend from high school, Donna. Donna and I met in high school after both of our families relocated to the suburbs. Both of us were city […]
Blooming in Fall with Cauliflower
The fall chill is in the air. And you know what that means …. It’s soup time. So far this season I’ve made Sheila’s chicken tortilla soup and butternut squash soup. Both were yummy as ever, but I’ve started itching for something different. I received an invite to go hang with some retired Kroger friends. […]
All Thai-ed Up
My sister often teases me and says I’m Blasian. That’s a Black Asian. She does that because I absolutely love Asian food. You name it: Beef Pho, Sushi, Bulgogi, Galbi, Tom Kha Gai, Pad Thai, Tika Misala, Singapore Noodles, Hoh Fun w/ Beef, Lettuce Wraps and the list goes on. I love trying to create […]
Paella Problems
So last weekend I woke up with a wild hair to make Paella. I’ve never done it and was feeling a craving for some seafood. I knew enough that I needed a paella pan. So off to T.J. Maxx Home I went. And as luck would have it, they had a paella pan for $20. […]
Savory Vacation Memories
The other day I realized how long it had been since I posted on my blog. Believe me, there’s been plenty of food created and consumed between the time I relocated to the present. I’ve neglected my journaling duties, and for that I’m regretful. I love reading back and reminiscing over the amazingness I’ve created […]
Sweet Torture
Well I’m finally settled in my temporary housing in Cincinnati, Ohio. The apartment is awesome. It’s a complex snuggled between the Red’s and the Bengal’s stadiums in the heart of downtown. There’s a plethora of retail establishments within walking distance. The weekend nights turn out loads of people enjoying the venues. We’ve had several days […]
Alone; Time to Indulge Me
It’s not often I get an entire Saturday to myself. Well the stars aligned this weekend. Husband took a group of boys to Orlando, FL to the Nike SPARQ Combine and Daughter went to Atlanta for a Volleyball Tournament. I stayed behind to start getting myself ready for the big move up North. The morning […]
Guest Blogger: Daughter Brooklynn Collier
Hi, I’m Brooklynn, Sugar-Free Foodie’s daughter. I tend to be quite picky with the food and flavors I eat. So when my mom asked me to try her Key Lime Pie, I was reluctant. Never being a fan of the tart flavor, I suspected hers would be like every other I’d tried. But, after tasting […]
Uncle Buddy’s Piccata
My Uncle Buddy (Wayne) makes the absolute best Chicken Piccata. It truly is restaurant quality. My favorite Piccata from a restaurant is Salmon Piccata from Maggiano’s. Living in Albany, Georgia doesn’t afford me the luxury of popping over to Maggiano’s whenever I’m needing a fix. And Uncle Buddy was living in Florida and is now […]
Pleasing Your Spouse
Anyone that has hung out with me and my husband knows one of our core beliefs (outside of God) is meeting each others needs. Early in our marriage we read Dr. Harley’s principles of His Needs Her Needs at marriagebuilders.com . The concepts basically say that couples who strive to meet each others needs affair-proof […]
