MorningStar Farms serves country-style biscuits

Morningstar Farms sausage biscuit

Product: MorningStar Farms Sausage Egg & Cheese Biscuits Size: 11.1 ounces Price: $4.89 Available: Most grocery stores Most mornings I eat fiber-filled flakes in 1-percent milk. But other times, the sun is streaming through the window, coffee is brewing, orange juice is poured, and I think of big flaky buttermilk biscuits with spicy sausage, melted […]






Risotto receives jazzy makeover

chicken and mushroom risotto

Product: Zatarain’s New Orleans Style Chicken & Mushroom Risotto Size: 10.5 ounces Available: Most grocery stores One doesn’t usually think of risotto and microwave in the same sentence, so I was a little skeptical of this offering from Zatarain’s. I served this on New Year’s day in place of my usual Hoppin’ John. The wild […]






Fiber One brownies take guilt out of dessert

Fiber One brownies

Product: Fiber One Chocolate Fudge Brownies Size: Six 0.89-ounce brownies Price: $4 Available: Most grocery stores Brownies are by nature a decadent treat. Chewy enough to disrupt digestion, fattening to derail diets and cholesterol laden with the addition of nearly two sticks of butter. I thought my favorite version containing loads of fat and carbs […]

Campbell’s has introduced a […]






Cookie milkshake

Chocolate Malt Cookies

Chocolate milkshakes are delicious anytime. By themselves, they offer a cool, frothy drink. And with food, especially burgers, they complement your dinner. So why not in a cookie? I have made chocolate cookies with a variety of nuts and chips before, but not with candy. I had a bag of Whoppers nearby, so I decided […]






Sliders kick off New Year’s party

Pizza Sliders

Sliders are just so darn cute and popular. That’s the criteria I look for when New Year’s rolls around. One year it was Jello shots. The next focused on the most popular way to display mashed potatoes — in a martini glass. So in keeping with trendy and tasteful, I decided to prepare a few […]






Dishpan cookies satisfy cereal craving

Dishpan Cookies

Often I grab a granola bar or cookie for breakfast. I can eat Dishpan Cookies any time and feel no guilt in scarfing down a couple with a glass of milk. After all, these cookies are full of crushed cornflakes baked right into their golden interiors. I was curious about the name and discovered variations […]






No noodles required for eggplant lasagna

Eggplant Lasagna

Eggplant lasagna is so easy to make and is a healthy addition to your menu — especially if you are trying to reduce carbohydrates from enriched white flour. To soften the eggplant, I spritz it with an olive oil spray and pre-bake in a 375-degree oven for about 10 minutes prior to adding in layers […]
