Easy Recipe: No-Boil Lasagna (Sabroso Saturday)
October 23, 2010 by 14 Comments
My family loves lasagna. What's not to love? You've got pasta, sauce, cheese and meat. It's like heaven on a plate if you ask me. I know there are many different ways on making lasagna like without meat, eggplant, spinach, chicken but I always make it with ground beef and sometimes I add a couple of Italian sausages. I'm a carnivore (not so much of a veggie person) so I cannot eat a lasagna made without meat. It's the substance I need in a meal. Back in March, I attended an event that … [Read more...]

When I woke up this morning, I thought to myself, I've got to get a recipe up on my blog for Sabroso Saturday. I was thinking of my version of empanadas (which I will post soon) but I wanted to post pics with it too. So then I thought maybe I'll add a breakfast recipe and was wondering what to write. Like any other morning, I drank my coffee with one of my favorite magazines like Everyday with Rachael Ray trying to get inspired with one of the recipes.

September 25, 2010 by 13 Comments
After seeing Go Red Por Tu Corazon on TV last week, I have to be honest and say I've set my mind to eating right and cooking healthy for my family. I don't want to have heart disease at an early age and I certainly don't want my family to suffer from that either. I was so happy when I was invited to an event about making one night a week a sandwich night with the Deen Brothers from the Food Network. I chose the Tuna Fish Sandwich from the event because it is tasty, healthy and very easy to … [Read more...]

Yesterday I attended an event called Sandwich Night With The Deen Brothers (Paula Deen's boys Jamie & Bobby).

The purpose of the event was to show people that serving sandwiches can be a quick and easy solution for dinnertime. It's both easy on our wallets and our waistlines ;). The Deen Brothers … [Read more...]

I saw this recipe being made right before my eyes at a Hellmann's event this past week (full event post coming up) made by Iron Chef Bobby Flay with the help of Lori Loughlin (Becky from Full House). It was one of my favorite recipes that they made because not only was it easy to make, but it is healthy and very tasty. I'm one who is very picky when it comes to veggies (yes, I know, that is bad!) but with this recipe, I found out that I love fresh spinach. Who would've thought! I never … [Read more...]
