Super-Duper Spaghetti Pie

Hungry-Girl does it for me AGAIN!  I made the spaghetti pie with Shirataki Noodles, tomato sauce, egg substitute, and cut up mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and green peppers.  mmmm.... delish.  I did not add the turkey pepperoni because I did not have any on hand, but I am thinking the 1/2 cup of egg sub. was enough protein.

I tend to add quite a bit of spices to mine... Dave always says, "The spice is nice."  Tonight I added dried basil, oregano, garlic, and red pepper flakes.

As I was eating it, I came up with the idea to cook this or Dave.  However, I am going to use it as a side dish and do a faux-fry chicken breast with some mozzarella.  His favorite dinner is chicken parmesan.  So, I am going to do a healthier version of it for him.  We will see how it turns out...

Love, 
Haley

Hungry Girl

So, Lisa Lillien is my hero. She is the genius behind "Hungry Girl." If you have not already subscribed to the daily email, YOU SHOULD! go to www.hungry-girl.com and do it, NOW!

The pic on the left may look like mush, but let me just tell you how delicious it was!! The picture is of my dinner from tonight. I made a recipe from Hungry Girl's 200 under 200 cookbook. The recipe was called Ooey-Gooey Cheesy Veggie Stacks. Ah-May-Zing... It consisted of eggplant, zucchini, onions, mushrooms layered with a ricotta, spinach, and garlic mixture. Mmm mmm good!!

best GF ever...

Sorry it has taken me so long to post again... the New Year's Eve holiday got the best of me. Yikes. The cookie on the left is one of the Chocolate Chip Walnut cookies I made for Dave (& his coworkers). I actually used the Safeway chocolate chips and followed that recipe. They were the best cookies...ever. So chewy & delicious. Way to go, Safeway.

Love, 
Haley

hola comida!

So, here I am.  I have had the itch to blog about my cooking for a while now... Then, I saw 'Julie & Julia.'  My foodie life was complete, as I know it...


Obsessed with food?  You bet.


Hopefully this blog will allow me to express my thoughts, encourage you to cook, share my adventures... and if none of these things are done, maybe I can put a smile on your face =)


I want to post pictures, share recipes, laugh at my mistakes, learn from the past, create recipes, yada, yada, yada.......


This past summer (2009), I enrolled in the Wilton cake decorating classes at my local Michael's craft store.  I was instantly hooked (and so was my wallet).  While I was decorating, I was focused on the task at hand; nothing else mattered.  I realized I really enjoyed what I did and what I accomplished in the end.


So, here's to a fabulous day with food...


Love, 
Haley
