Cooking With Mommy

Hello Love Muffins!   Long Time no See! Or so that's what it feels like to me! I was supposed to be back a little while ago but ...life! Since the last time I was here, I've added some newness to my life. I have MORE Brands that I'm working with now. I'm not sure if I ever told you all that I was a MAJOR workaholic many years ago. If not, it was bad. I went from never having a job for 18 years to having 3 jobs (simultaneously) by the time I was 20/21 (I think 20). Why is that significant? Because I have a really hard time turning down opportunities when it comes to brand deals (which doesn't work the way you think it does!)  Anyway! Let me tell you about these Deals that are going on Right Now!  *You know those viral videos of the Moms with the big houses/kitchens refilling the fridge or doing the pantry makeover? 9 times out of 10 those containers and bins are from  Smart Design ! Well, if you're trying to get organized before your Holiday Guests arrive; you ca...

#CookingWithMommy I'm behind several posts but this deserved to be pushed to the front of the line! Thank you @rpspasta for giving us the opportunity to try your #GlutenFree #Pasta. This is /was #AMAZING I didn't really have a #recipe, just trying to remember flavors that matched what I remembered #spinach #Fettuccine to taste like. First, the package stated that the pasta on its own was really flavorful (I'm thinking all companies say that) and toss with something light. I tasted the pasta to see if it was done and it was really good just by itself! (I salted the pasta water prior to cooking) I melted some #SmartBalance and added #OliveOil, #MincedGarlic, #DicedOnions, #Seasonings, #Parsley and #Shrimp. I let that sit and marinate while I made the pasta. I have a picky eater so I couldn't add the #Fresh #Organic #Tomatoes and #Pecorino until it was in my bowl. Speaking of my bowl, I had 2! I completely went over my calories on my #MyFitnessPal #App but it was totally ...

HEEEEEEEEY I DID!!!!!!! Ok I had not planned to cook anything for Easter but we received a free huge ham from the food pantry so ...... Since my plans changed I decided to make the ham, vegan mac n cheese, sauteed broccoli, a "baked" sweet potato for me and gluten free french baguettes. Back to what I was originally saying, I used the recipe I posted on 3/15/16. I felt it was too good to be true, but it worked. Yes, I did add a little here and there. (I added the link to the original recipe at the bottom of the page)  This is what I did: The ingredients are really simple, I added the garlic seasonings and paprika.  All I had to do was boil the GF noodles, drain them, put them back in the pot, and add the ingredients.  The recipe called for 2tbs of Earth Balance , I used to huge 2 "Kitchen tablespoons" of Smart Balance. I put the exact amount of milk and nutritional yeast. The recipe called for 1/4 tsp of salt, (at some point y...

Mommy/Baby Style! So for Valentine's Day I attempted to make us Heart shaped GF pancakes. The pancakes turned out great (The Lil Chef ate 5 pancakes! & said they were so good she didn't need syrup. Ok I had 4 myself) I can't duplicate what I did because I mixed the end of 2 pancake mixes together. I'll just have to create something else brilliant at another time! :D  Crazy Hearts! The Perfect Pancakes as The Lil Chef called them. BACON...Everyone's Favorite! My plate, I created my own Strawberry Syrup! Such a big piece of bacon! MMMM!

                                                           The Star of the day!!!! Tuna Melt for Breakfast I have been wanting to make this forever! What better time to make it but on my Birthday!!! This recipe actually turned out better than I expected. I did skip a step, I was pressed for time but it turned out fine. I did not put it in the oven as directed.            My Birthday decorations went up on the 25th and are still up lol! What do I want every year for my Birthday? Lamb! I caught this one sale at Aldi a little while ago and froze it.  The marinade is very important!!!! Let it sit overnight! This time I decided to brown it before I put it in the oven. Smashed Potatoes! This was interesting! Voila!!!! Very g...
