Basic Foodie Tutorial: Cookies in Seven Easy Steps

April 28, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

In order for me to understand how to go about making something, I like to break it down into basic steps. Once I can see the “bones” of a recipe, I can connect the rest of the baking dots. A new long-winded recipe can get anyone completely lost. Here are my basic steps to baking […]

Recipe: Easy & Healthy Mango Sorbet

April 28, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

Yes, another mango recipe but hey, they have been half off at my store so I can actually afford them! If there is another fruit out there on sale where you are that you would like to turn into a sorbet instead, go for it. One thing I like about mango is it does not […]

This week I am finally getting my very last silver filling removed at the dentist. Growing up, my mouth was FILLED with silver fillings and soon they will all be gone. This is the first time in my life I asked my doctor to do dental work on me! I am terrified of the dentist […]

Suzie’s sacreligious version of Tyler’s Shrimp Scampi

April 26, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

I made myself a huge treat on Friday night, my own version of Tyler’s Ultimate Shrimp Scampi with Linguini. I wanted to do a recipe review of Tyler’s original recipe but I didn’t have wine or linguini so as usual, I improvised. Instead of the wine, I made my own seafood stock. Many may find […]

Ayurvedic Cooking: Listening to Your Body

April 25, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 8 Comments

Believe it or not, my lawyer recommended I read The Quick & Easy Ayurvedic Cookbook. For those of you unfamiliar with Ayurvedic medicine, in yoga it is believed that there are three doshas that we belong to. They are divided up between air, fire and water/earth.

Diabetic Dream Desserts and The Big Book of Diabetic Desserts

April 23, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 8 Comments

The use of sugar is a controversial issue. It is one I have a hard time coming to grips with myself. Most of the time I would take the “real thing” over a substitute. I do not like chemicals in my food but recently so many people I care about are finding out they have […]

Cooking Tutorial & Recipe: How To Make Beet Chips

April 23, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 8 Comments

I was craving something crunchy the other day which often happens to me. I’m more of a chips person than a cookies person which is very, very bad! I don’t allow myself to eat chips anymore and have even forbidden salted shelled sunflower seeds because the salt kicks my blood pressure way up. I bought […]

Yup, this strawberry-inspired recipe is going in the cookbook too. I think I’m onto to something here! There are a couple of general […]
