Ok, I am just gonna post a quickie here. I hear people say things like “I don’t have time to cook” or “It costs too much to eat healthy”. We could dig deep into the way that healthier food is priced, but that’s not my aim here. I just want to show you what I…

Black-Mary Gin Fizz
Lawd! What a night! I made these over the weekend and am extremely excited to be sharing it with you! I’m new to gin, but my exploration has been super fun! I have found that I really like Hendrick’s and a lesser known brand called Wilder. Wilder Gin is made a hop skip and a…
Smokey Cheddar Corn Fritters
This sassy little appetizer could have easily made it’s way onto a Fat Tuesday post. In fact, it was part of the very same meal that I featured in my post last Tuesday! It’s definitely not health food, but it certainly was delicious. Very simple and completely satisfying. You will need the following: 4 ears…
Fat Tuesday: Spicy Braised Short Ribs and Bleu Cheese Polenta
Sweet Jesus! These short ribs killed! I mean, the meat… it wanted to stay on the bone, but it could not. I LOVE short ribs. There is a lovely little restaurant in my home town called Centrale. They make this dish and it’s where I fell in love with it. If you ever find yourself in…
Mindful Monday: Popsicles and Cookies for Breakfast!
I could see the confusion wash over my oldest when I told him that they would be eating popsicles and cookies for breakfast… His wheels were turning and he was undoubtedly thinking, “It’s happened. The old broad has finally lost it.” No child, I am no more insane than I was yesterday. I am only…
TGIF! Fig & Maple Bourbon Fizz paired with a Fig & Goat Prosciutto Wrap
It’s Friday! That means that The Swearing Mom has come up with another delectable specialty cocktail for you! Today you’re getting a double whammy! I have paired a cocktail with an appetizer just for you! This is easy enough for you to make after work and be nibbling and sipping in no time! For the…
Fig, Goat, Arugula Flatbread
Figs figs figs! Here we are again, more than half way through fig week and once again, I’m throwing some goat cheese in the mix. I can’t stop, yo! This is just as easy as the Fig & Goat Grilled Cheese from my previous post. The Rock Star and I had this for dinner last Sunday and…
Fig & Goat Grilled Cheese
It’s just a simple grilled cheese sandwich. No special technique, just buttered bread cheese and… figs. Oh geeze, The Swearing Mom is using figs? AGAIN??? What is that, like three days in a row? Yep! And there’s even more to come! Figs are SO special! They’re like humming birds or shooting stars! They’re completely limited,…
Fat Tuesday: Rosemary Fig Upside Down Cake
I LOVE an upside down cake, but my love of these inverted delectables pale in comparison to that of my brother. Knowing his love of figs, I knew that even if nobody in the world liked this cake, I would have at least one fan. His exact comment when I sent the food porn to…
TGIF With The Perfect Strawberry Margarita
This margarita is perfect! Seriously, everything about it screams “drink me”! Unlike Alice’s bottle, this one will only make you feel big, your physical body will not actually change. Bonus! Strawberries were on sale and I knew that it was an opportunity to explore some classics. I bought a whopping five pounds of the damned…
Chili Corn Bread Waffle With Cilantro Lime Creme Fraiche
Well, that was a mouth full! Seriously, though… I couldn’t think of a better title or a single flavor that I could leave out of it! This would be a phenomenal starter dish to share or a savory breakfast meal. Adding green chiles to corn bread is not a new idea, but waffling them, may…
Fat Tuesday Meets Two-fer Tuesday: Coconut Cookies Two Ways!
I love coconut. I know that it’s not the flavor for everyone, though I don’t get that for the life of me! I got a new fridge, hence, was forced to empty the old one entirely. You know, not a quick little clean up, the whole shootin’ match! I came across a half used bag…
