Our Best Bites

Do you have any cooking disaster secrets?
I do………..like the time I put in the peeling from the garlic clove in the chili instead of the clove……..I didn’t know. I thought that was the good part………I know….what can I say? Now had this blog been around way back when I didn’t know about garlic cloves, I would have had a much better chili.

Yummy Recipes

Kate and Sarah with Our Best Bites has a very user friendly cooking blog. I’m a visual learner, so all their recipe great photos of each step keeps me calm and confident that I too can make whatever delicious meal they’ve posted.

I also want to thank them for becoming one of my sponsors.

As mentioned, their site is very user friendly. They have a link for Tips and Tutorials……….God love’m. In fact they have a soft spot for cooks like me because they even have a HOW TO for garlic…….see. This could have saved me years of ridicule………my friend Marla still laughs at me. If she could see me now…….I even have a garlic press………and the jumbo size jar of chopped garlic in the fridge.

I LOVE seeing all the ingredients needed for a recipe. I don’t know why, but it takes the “too hard” factor out of it.

Lime Cilantro Dressing

These lovely ingredients make this yummy looking dressing………. Creamy Lime Cilantro Dressing. The name says “don’t make me, I’m too difficult” but after seeing their photos……..I can do it! If I remember correctly, they used this on their Chili Lime Steak Salad…….OH MY!

Thai Dish

How about this Thai Peanut number? This is something I plan to make very soon!

Dessert Recipe

Great desserts too. They really have a bit of everything on their site. The Pizzookie……..I’ve had this at a pizza parlor once and never once thought about making it at home………….until now!

I think I have ALL those things in my fridge RIGHT NOW! Love their photos…………

Silk Died Easter Eggs

You’re probably wondering why all these eggs are wrapped in fabric.
Cute……..but……….. That fabric is actually silk ties……..Why do they have eggs wrapped ties? Did I miss this decor idea in the latest Country Living?

OH DEAR MOTHER OF PEARL………….. can you believe it? The dye transfers onto the eggs. Is that the most original idea of 2009 so far? They have a TUTORIAL, so we can all copy them and have wonderful decorated eggs for our Easter table to impress everyone around us. Stunned……….

Our poor husbands will not have one tie left in their closets………..they needed new ones anyway didn’t they?
