I have a thing going with mushrooms. It’s not really a good thing. It’s more like a grossed out thing. But then I had a delicious portobello burger on our road trip, and things started heating up for me and the mushroom. So I bought some. That might have been a little ambitious, being that I had no idea how to wash them, prepare them, or cook them. Then, just as I was about the start cutting them, I noticed the gills....

Creamy Eggnog Cocktail Recipe After all the stops he has to make and all those presents to deliver, Santa gets thirsty. And so do busy moms trying to wrap a million presents and bake even more cookies. Juggling all the balls of the holidays is hard work. School recitals, company coming, holiday parties, gift exchanges, and more. Time to take a break, use up the last of your eggnog, and put your feet up for a minute....
The tech support people told me it should have been seamless to all of you and the benefit is that my site should load faster now. Fingers crossed. In addition to going nutty with blog stuff, I spent time with these kind of nuts. The smell of roasted nuts in my house has been intoxicating. It smells like Christmas time at the mall when you can smell the fragrance of roasted nuts wafting through the stores just begging you to inhale a few handfuls, immediately....
It’s September, but really, it’s EARLY September, so a picture of the last few ripe and wonderful days of summer is what’s gonna be happening right now. Okay, buckle up and grab a drink! Is it a cozy PSL keeping your warm on your couch? Is it a cold agua fresca to cool you down while you soak up the sun? Could be either! Depends on the day! Because it’s that magical time of year known as September....
Our vacation already feels like a long-lost distant memory, but it’s only been 10 days. I was going through my photos and was lusting after the beach. Then again, don’t we all lust after a white sandy beach with turquoise water? Well, some people claim they don’t like hot weather or are they’re not a “beach person” but I’m pretty sure being here is better than a trip to the dentist....
Best Ever Pumpkin Whoopie Pies Recipe Whoopie!!! That’s what I want to say when I bite into one of these pumpkin whoopie cakes. If you’ve never eaten a homemade whoopie pie, it’s essentially rich buttercream filling that’s sandwiched between two very soft and tender cookies. It doesn’t get much better! I just wanted to pick off these little morsels and squish them between my fingers. The cookies are soft and remind me of my days squishing Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies as a kid....
Easy Asian Noodles with Sweet and Sour Sauce There are layers and layers of flavors in these Asian-inspired noodles that are ready in 30 minutes. Soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, lime juice, ginger, and Asian chili-garlic sauce (found in the Asian aisle of most major grocery stores) make up the sweet and sour sauce and coat the noodles beautifully. They’re sweet and sour, with a very subtle heat from the ginger and chili-garlic sauce....
Sweet and Sour Salad Recipe Sometimes garbage salads are the best. They’re the salads I make when I have a produce drawer full of stuff and I throw it all together. And sometimes all that stuff works so amazingly well together. That was this sweet and sour zucchini salad. It’s naturally vegan, gluten-free, light, fresh, and healthy. Perfect summer food and helps with the abundance of zucchini many people have now....
From my earlier post today about my online order, it got me thinking that I need to get busy making some Nooch Recipes now that I have my stash replenished. I need to make some more Spicy “Doritos” Cheezy Dip Or maybe I should whip up another Cheezy Vegetable Bake The Nooch is perfect in the baked veggies I have about 15 nooch recipes compiled, here Since I eat so many salads and dressings really help make the salad and keep things interesting, I made a Creamy Honey Mustard Dressing....

Fresh – All of the vegetables make the salad not only beautiful but so fresh and delicious....
Can you believe in less than one week it’s going to be Thanksgiving? What, huh? Feels like I was just cooking Thanksgiving Dinner. But it was Last.Year. Wow. As I posted the other day, life is really moving at warp speed! The other day at TJ’s I picked up a few Thanksgiving meal items Scott is not vegan. I’ve discussed our different dietary paths many times in the past. He’s a vegan at home, and a whatever he wants when out....
It’s a healthier twist on chicken parmesan because the chicken isn’t breaded. You definitely won’t miss the breadcrumbs in this easy dish that’s ready in 20 minutes and packed with flavor. It’s also like a caprese salad bumped into chicken and pasta and they lived happily ever after. The tomatoes help keep the chicken moist and juicy, the basil packs a flavorful punch, and the cheese is gooey and wonderful....
Turquoise water Tropical flowers A nice run and not-too-shabby view from my running path. I’d rank my day a 27 on a scale of 1 to 10. No complaints, clearly. After an extremely windy run, I enjoyed a few squares of White Chocolate Peanut, Pretzel, & Chocolate Chip Fudge They liked the fudge, too. And I really like the local coffee here in Aruba. It makes for a perfect fudge chaser....
Bjork here. Checking in for the monthly income report here on Pinch of Yum. We’ll look at three things in this report. We’ve been doing these reports for over five years now.

You can check out that first income report here....
Fast And Easy Everyone loves sugar cookies but not everyone has time to make them and that’s where these frosted sugar cookie bars come into play. You’ll have these bars ready in no time. They’re soft with slight chewiness and remind me of bakery-style sugar cookies. You know, the thick cookies that are frosted with sprinkles and just melt in your mouth. Same goes for these bars. The bars are as easy to make as using a package of Krusteaz Butter Vanilla Sugar Cookie Mix....

The store is located in a pretty hip part of town and I don’t think I’m the only one hip to the thrifting game. I surmise as fast as old cast iron comes in, it flies off the messy shelves. Except this week because I found two pieces. I think I can make eggs muffins or who knows what in this piece. Whatever it’s intended use, I could stop a burglar with it....
Ok, let’s you and me have a chat about this chili. Can we agree that white food is super comforting? comment icon 72 more comments Did you love those rain shots? Bjork did all of those as I was slurping up his bowl of soup. Yep. Rainy days are fun. Think about it. White sauce. White cheese. White sugar. White potatoes. White bread. White ice cream. White chocolate? White sauce and white cheese and white chicken on white crust named gooey, cheesy white pizza....
