Experiments in a Galley Kitchen: Suggestions please

This started as a way to chronicle my love of all things food - grocery shopping, cooking stores, recipes, baking, cooking and experimenting.

I found that however much I love food, there are other things that occupy my time/thoughts. Some serious - God, family, health, love and more. Other thoughts are definitely not serious - fashion, cosmetics, moisturizers, conditioner and perhaps even my search for the perfect pair of running shoes.

Why share all this with "strangers"? My husband, Mr. Potts, tells me I am a chatty Cathy something akin to a wind up doll where you pull the string and the chatting starts. He appreciates the fact that I choose to spare him (sometimes) all these random thoughts. Yet, he also benefits from my musings on food and my experiments in our kitchen.

I hope you'll enjoy my thoughts - say hello and let me know what you think!

Suggestions please

::Oh yes it's Ladies' Night::

I'll be hosting girls night Saturday with some of my besties. We'll be chatting it up, noshing on yummies & sipping along.

I'm looking for a few new ideas of easy finger foods as well as any fun/festive/Spring (it will be the first day of Spring) drink you think of.

Ideas? Suggestions?

Wish you all could come!

USCEmily said...: Ok, this one isn't healthy, but it's so good it doesn't matter. That's what I tell myself, anyway. Hamburger cheese dip in a crock pot. One can of Ro-Tel, one block of Velveeta, and one pound of browned hamburger. Melt cheese, add hamburger & Ro-tel and you're good to go.

Also, if you want something sweet try this dip for apples. Whipped cream cheese with caramel sundae topping over the cream cheese and then Heath bits (in the baking aisle) on top. Cut up apples and dip. DELICIOUS!; March 17, 2010 at 8:53 AM
