Solid Foods Recipes

by Nikki Ok, so let me run down my theory about cookies. They are not evil. They’re not the devil incarnate. They were not put on this earth to destroy me. HOWEVER, they are very easy to overeat. So I have cookie rules: Nik only eats sugar-free cookies (an obvious one) Nik only eats cookies in the presence of others …

~by Nikki We have another contender in the bon-bon challenge! This time it’s my good friend Pam. Instead of sending me a picture, however, she blogged about her bon-bon making. Click here to go to her blog, but be warned: there is some SERIOUS food porn going on over there. So what are YOU waiting for? Bon-bon with us!

~by Nikki From my lovely friend Dee. Remember I told you she had a bit of trouble due to my…erm…technical difficulties? Well her bon-bons still turned out pretty decent. She does, however, have some advice to future bon-bon chefs. She said you might think about cutting them smaller so as not to be so hard on the teeth when eaten. …

~~by Nikki Ok, so here’s the deal. Life has been sort of crazy lately. And I’ve been promising these bon-bon’s FOREVER. You’ve lost faith in the fact that I’ll ever post them. I understand. If I were you, I would have too. So first off let me apologize for that! The hold up is that I don’t have a pic. …

~~posted by Jen OK, we know it’s not even Labor Day yet, but Summer is winding down and we’ve been thinking about Fall.  Of course, we had to poll our friends and see what Fall recipes you are most looking forward to!  Debby B, one of our FaceBook fans, responded to the Poucher Poll today and asked about Pumpkin in …

There was a time, not so long ago, that I was very opposed to protein bars. Because I only tended to see protein bars at 7-Eleven and Wal-Mart, I had the idea that they were all carb heavy and no better for you than a candy bar. I’m here to admit—before you, the world-wide web and God—that I was wrong. …

I have noticed that since I committed to doing meatless Fridays in Lent that I have been eating a LOT more fish/seafood. Interesting. One of my favorite things to make when I don’t want to fuss in the kitchen is tuna burgers. They come together easily (seriously…they take like 5 minutes to mix up a batch), are simple to cook …

by Nikki For years, I went to Baltimore’s Cross Street market just for fruit salad from a particular stall that has been there…oh…I dunno…since God said “let there be light” and there was light…and that guy with a bowl of fruit salad. Nowadays I am on a budget. I am also living a bit differently. So it was a happy occassion …

by Nikki Last week when I was at the farmer’s market I saw something that made me very, very happy. A child devouring a big ol’ hunk of meat on a stick. I thought to myself “summer must be coming.” Meat on a stick, to me, evokes memories of state carnivals, funnel cakes and other types of summer time fun. …

Certain popular websites for girls who happen to be hungry claim this recipe, but it’s been around forever. I got it from somebody who got it from somebody who got it from somebody else which is probably the same place THAT chick got her recipe from. She was just smart enough to market it. That being said… I was in …
