The egg-stravagnza is continuing, and just in time for your weekend! Of course, when you think of eggs, you think breakfast. They’re filling enough to eat as a meal, and also pair well with plenty of different ingredients and flavors. That’s why I turn to omelets for breakfast (well, actually for lunch [...]
How was your St. Patrick’s Day? Did you overdose on corned beef, shamrock shakes and/or green beer? I hope not. Instead, I hope you took my advice from Thursday and made plenty of extra corned beef. We certainly did. Well, maybe not “plenty of extra” but, it was a fairly obnoxious amount of meat. [...]
St. Patrick’s Day is always a celebration in this city. Not only is there a very strong Irish heritage and presence in Buffalo, but everyone and their brother is Irish on this weekend. In fact, the St. Patrick’s Day parade here is the 3rd largest in New York state. It stretches [...]
The Big Flavors are not big meal planners. I mean we do have ideas around what we want to eat for dinner during the week, but we don’t list it out by each day and then plan our shopping trip around the list. We probably should do this, and I’m actually a bit surprised [...]
While I know eating healthy is important, I find it can sometimes be difficult to find good-for-you meals that have actual flavor and also keep you full for more than an hour. In the Big Flavors house, a healthy meal will always contain some type of protein. It’s hard to get Mr. Big Flavors to [...]
Some people who know me know that I have an alternate title. I’m not just Mrs. Big Flavors. To some, I’m known as the pickle queen. That’s pretty much because I’m addicted to pickles. I could eat a whole jar (maybe even two jars) of pickle slices in one sitting, without even skipping a beat. (How’s that for your [...]
Have I mentioned that life in the Big Flavors house is absolutely craaaazy these days? I’ll be honest, recently many dinners in this house have consisted of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or some Chinese food take-out. Hey, it can’t always been homemade three course meals and picture perfect desserts, although that would definitely [...]
For me, it’s usually a stressful kind of day when a pizza cravings hit. There’s just something about a crispy pizza crust and gobs of melted cheese that instantly lifts my spirits and puts the day back on track. (Actually, pizza and chocolate both have the same effect. But this post is about pizza so [...]
There’s this one onion dip recipe that has been in the family forever. It’s made at every family gathering, and it never last longs. In fact, it’s so popular at these parties that my Grandmother has resorted to hiding the dip containers in secret places or writing “Do not Touch” messages on the [...]
Almost everyone has their family favorite version of enchiladas. Some are made with chicken, some with beef. Others are completely vegetarian. We all have our preferences on whether enchilada sauce should be red or green. The Big Flavors are definitely fans of the latter. Mexican night in our house means whipping up [...]
