Mindful Monday was about the time I spent with my girlfriends. Fat Tuesday is going to be about something I fed to them. My girl, Wendy was feeling these bars. Just like the name suggests, there is some butter in there. If you cut these up like you would a pan of brownies, you would end…

Fat Tuesday: Chicken and Waffle Bites
I had never eaten chicken and waffles until I moved to Southern California. To be honest, breakfast was a clear division of sweets and savories. I did NOT want my bacon and eggs in my syrup! Once we relocated, I was obligated to try Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles. I mean, this is a little slice of…
Fat Tuesday and a Little Almond Cake
I made these sweet little almond cakes a couple weeks ago for my evening at The Huntington. I mean, there’s no reason to not have special food just because you’re eating it on the grass, right? These types of cakes are sometimes referred to as friands when they are baked in oval, muffin tin type…

Fat Tuesday: Poutine Three Ways!
Oh, Canada! Thank you for the poutine! I’ve been talking about poutine with my oldest for a while now and I finally kept my word and made it for dinner. I wanted to do a traditional poutine recipe as well as a few twists. So, you are getting a three way! Eeerrrr… I mean three…
Fat Tuesday: BACON
I thought it would be fun to have a reoccurring thematic post. I got the idea from my friend Jane over at http://www.theheritagecook.com If you don’t know her, you should make a point to do so. She is fantastic and unlike me, is an actual cook/chef/recipe developer extraordinaire. Seriously, go there. Jane does “Chocolate Monday”….
