…A Splash of Rice Vinegar that is! “Vinegar?”, you may ask…Yes!!! Try splashing it on freshly cut ripe tomatoes or cucumbers, green salads, hot salads, roasted potatoes, white rice, grilled or broiled seafood, or pasta dishes. How about adding it to bean salads, coleslaw or to create a unique and zippy sauce? Why not marinate beef, pork, chicken or seafood with rice vinegar? Especially if you’re making...

Today, I was online creating return address labels from VistaPrint.com… I love this place, it’s where I get all of our business cards from, so I thought I’d delve deeper and get some labels, as I’m in dire need of them…LOL I was playing around with what I wanted and of course, since I’m a hopeless foodie, my labels reflect that.

They told me it was super clean and very nice inside. The waiter was helpful and friendly too. Most importantly, the TASTE! They brought me food...

While visiting Dallas this time, I finally got the privilege to visit Central Market at Preston & Royal. Central Market is a whole-foods, organic-type grocery store/market. That’s a mouthful, right? Well, it is. Not only does it have the prettiest, cleanest, freshest & healthiest-looking produce I’ve seen in quite some time, it is sooo much more. The store is filled with fantastic & “obscure”, mom...

Creamy Malibu Coconut Dipping Sauce is exactly what you want when serving up plump, juicy, coconut shrimp!
