There is one member of the Big Flavors family that is just not discussed enough around here. She’s made an appearance on the Hot Dog Taste Test Championship and on the About the Big Flavors page, so you know she’s [...]
I’ve always had a soft spot for a good healthy morning muffin, which first originated during my bagel-slingin’ days. We (and by we I mean the bagel shop) always had 6 or 7 different muffin varieties for sale. They were baked in the morning and once they were gone, they were gone. The [...]
I shared a recipe for healthy, one-pot chicken and beans with you earlier this week so that in my very next breath I could tell you about these donuts. There’s so much less guilt when you stage a chicken and vegetables recipe first and then follow-up with less-than-healthy [...]
Since the Bills will probably never make it to the Superbowl again while I’m alive, Superbowl Sunday is mainly about the food for me. Sure I like watching the game and hearing all of the dramatic stories. I even enjoy catching a commercial or two. But, until the Bills make it to [...]
Whether it be for snacking or an actual meal, I just can’t pass up using the crockpot on football Sundays. Crockpot cooking ensures tasty food and great results with very little work required. This means more time watching the pre-game festivities and less time in the kitchen. Everyone wins! Here are some of my favorite [...]
I can’t even begin to explain my love for peanut butter toast crunch cereal. It’s not even a stretch to tell you it was one of the happiest days EVER, when I saw that PBTC was back on shelves (yes, us Peanut Butter Toast Crunch fanatics are allowed to abbreviate for easier discussion). [...]
Here’s my shot at a step towards being a bit more healthy with snacking. It can’t be all cheese-filled snacks and processed foods all of the time, I guess. (Though, I sure wouldn’t mind always having a big batch of chicken wing dip on hand, just in case.) I was looking around [...]
I’ve previously mentioned that Buffalo restaurants almost always have stuffed banana peppers and chicken wings on the menu. It’s rare that you’d go to a restaurant in this city and not see [...]
This might have been one of the longest weeks, ever. Lowlights include trying to hang a ceiling light fan for four hours, getting 4 hours of sleep each night, and screaming at the Home Depot store manager over why I should get my countertops for free because it’s not my fault that they don’t have clear [...]
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 [...]
