Every Saturday, I go through Twitter with #foodblogger and find my favorite food related articles. These are this week's favorites!


Normally, I think of sushi as fish based food. But there is something to be said for fusion cuisines.

Everything about this is screaming at me, "Eat me!" There's just something about a good runny yolk to sop up with some buttered toast!

Ermagerd, well heeerrrlloooo ❤ (said in my best Kenneth Williams voice 😂)
A pool of deliciousness to mop up with my toast.

I may have mention a few times this year that I've been trying to be on a health kick. This has been my breakfast most days after all. These protein balls sound like a great snack either pre or post workout or even just a midday snack at the office!

Even though I'm trying to eat better, these combine two of my favorite things: cookies and red velvet.

I had every intention of getting this post up last weekend. I had all of my favorite posts ready to go! Here they are, a week later!

Grilled Turkey Kabobs - via Happy Foods Tube

I don't grill a lot of turkey, but these kabobs caught my eye! These flavors sound really good, and I especially like the idea of serving it over rice!

Red Wine Pasta from Barolo with White Ragu - via The Pasta Project

If you've followed along at all, you know I'm an eater of all things pasta! Nothing seems too exotic. This ragu is making my mouth water just thinking about it!

The wonderful red wine pasta I bought in Barolo, Piemonte was so delicious with this white ragu. The glass of Barolo we drank with it wasn't bad either!

NEW #RECIPE on the blog!

Elegant and Delectable with Poached Egg and Bacon Bits - via Cooking with Anadi

We do a lot of avocado toast around here. Usually it's just like it sounds, avocado and toast. Stepping up to a guacamole sounds amazing and full of healthy nutrients! Can't wait to try this one out!

Avocado toast is amazingly delicious, but I love to take it up a notch and make guacamole toast. Make the best guac toast with poached egg and bacon bits!

It was a good week for cookies. Looks like I'll be trying out cookie recipes until further notice. I don't know if I'll start with the Chocolate Turtle Cookies or the Mexican Samoas Cookies!

M&M Cookies

Ready to go in the oven.

It's been raining quite a bit here the last few days, so the boys haven't been able to play outside. It seems that they live for the outdoors, so they've been handling it pretty well. Last night I decided to do something special for them and bake some cookies. They even got try some of the batter! I was looking for chocolate chips in the pantry, but I ended up having to settle for M&Ms. This recipe is adapted from my Anyone Can Cook book. It makes about 12 cookies.


The Recipe:
1/4 cup butter - softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cup flour
1 cup m&ms

Ready to eat!

Mix together the butter, brown sugar, sugar, salt, and baking soda with a hand mixer or stand mixer until combined. Mix in the egg and vanilla until combined. Slowly mix in the flour until combined. Stir in the m&ms. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 - 10 minutes.
