Myra Cook’s Outrageous Muffins are a good carb/protein snack or meal!

24 Apr

6 egg whites, slightly beaten

1 1/2 cups quick oatmeal

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce( can sub with 1/4 banana, 1 cooked apple in micro)

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon cinnamon

6 packets Splenda

 

Beat egg whites until frothy (but not stiff). Fold in the other ingredients. Portion batter to make 6 regular muffins. Add ground oat flour or more oats to your consistency. Bake at 375° approximately 14 minutes or until golden brown on top. Can be refrigerated or frozen.

This is an amazing and portable way to get your protein and good carbs in. This recipe can be doubled in size to make 12.  Feel free to make this your own and substitute! Some have tried using pumpkin and zucchini. Some prefer making the applesauce to 1 cup or adding mashed banana or blueberries. Make it your own and throw in some ground cloves, ginger or nutmeg. I have a friend that doubles the recipe but with 3 cps zucchini instead of applesauce, plus she cuts her oats to 2 cups. Enjoy!

 

Great Holiday gift opportunity: $25 Restaurant Gift Cards for $3 each

20 Nov

Good at thousands of restaurants nationwide!

Pardon me for the “spammy” interruption but I think you’ll find the “meat” is in this deal. Myra and I buy and use gift certificates from this group all of the time. This is something new in that it is a gift card – not a certificate. But here’s some really great news: the gift certificates are available for $2 each (for $25 certificates).

Here’s the bad news: the really good restaurants usually sell out quickly because they only allow a certain number of these to be sold. So, get ‘em while they are available, I did! I bought FIFTY of them for gifts and to keep as giveaways at events.

A Happy Husband is a Mellow Husband

12 Sep

A happy husband is a mellow husband, especially at Mellow Mushroom pizza

Cheese lips.

Calzones always make husbands very happy.

Jazz hands with the ‘food scientist’, chef and master pizza slinger Adam who happens to ROCK in the oven arena.

Build your own salads – never can go wrong there ~ I’m in heaven! Right about now I was VERY angry with my husband who had NEVER taken me to Mellow Mushroom yet in all our 13 years of marriage living in Georgia! His response was, “…well I can’t take you everywhere then it would all get too boring…” and so I’m assuming he is saving the best for last. THEN he tells me he used to eat there like 4 times a week before we got married. Hoarder.  Hummptf.

Coolness.

Adam, a ruddier jolly man very content with himself, and his job. He is one of the main reasons to experience The Mellow Mushroom.

2421 Shallowford Rd Marietta GA 30066 770-516-1500

Gotta go back! Can’t wait! I love Mellow Mushroom! More locations? Wow. Over 100 locations now. Just type in your zip code!

Taste Test! Sugar Free Maple Syrups

24 Jan

PhotobucketWhen you want syrup you really want something that tastes like what we call syrup. For this installment Myra takes a quick tour of a few name brand sugar free syrups. Since she is not a food professional nor is she paid or sponsored by anyone these are her real time comments.

If you have another suggestion for a sugar free syrup Myra would love to have your opinion and the name of the syrup, too. Just leave it in the comments section at the bottom of the page or use the Contact page to let her know.

Have other ideas for taste tests for Myra? I happen to know she loves a taste test about as well as anything else foodly.

Oh I just discovered this little teensy place off of Barrett Parkway near the Town Center Mall that packs a HUGE sushi punch. You need to check this place out. It is very cute inside and they offer great deals on Bento Box Lunch Specials. Very clean, very fresh and very fast. I love America!

This is more than a meal it is an entertainment and cultural experience. A new meaning to the word fresh with endless sides. Be adventurous and start off with an enormous sized appetizer the Korean-style pancake pa jeon with seafood and scallion is served on a sizzling iron platter. It is a tasty pancake-omelette that is stuffed with squid, oysters and loads of tasty green onions chives and herbs.

Then go to the seafood stew with egg. It comes out of the kitchen in a stoneware pot and boils done right in front of you, the server cracking a fresh brown egg into the sizzling stew. Truly authentic Korean BBQ available too with seven of their tables fitted with built-in grills and large overhead fans for parties of two or more who wish to cook their own fresh selections and served in beautiful stoneware.

Such a Jerk!

Please give me a THUMBS UP at the bottom of my review on facebook No Reservations: Hungry for More inspired by Anthony Bourdain and The Travel Channel.

Caribbean food includes all of your favorites??seafood, chicken and steak??prepared with the flavorful and colorful ingredients of the islands. Some popular dishes are coconut shrimp, jerk chicken pasta, chicken kabobs, ribs with guava BBQ sauce and Key Lime Pie.

bbcfb

Food plays a central role in family life and traditions in the islands. Cooks spend days preparing menu offerings for holidays, festivals, and special family gatherings. The cuisine of the Caribbean is like a cultural patchwork quilt. Each ??patch?? or dish represents the plentiful bounty of the islands’ lush tropical vegetation, combined with the one or more diverse groups of people that have lived there, including the original Carib and Arawak Indians, followed by the Spanish, British, French, and Dutch settlers, as well as Africans, who have had a profound influence on the food and cultural traditions of the islands. Later followed Indian and Chinese settlers, and travelers from the United States.

Try these on for size. Habanero Wings: Crisply fried and tossed in a spicy habanero pepper barbecue sauce. Bahamian Grilled Chicken Kabobs: Wood-grilled chicken breast, fresh mushrooms, onions, peppers and squash served over yellow rice.Cuban Sandwich: With ham, roast pork, salami, Swiss cheese, with lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise, hot-pressed on Cuban bread. Chocolate Island: Rich chocolate mousse on a fudge brownie Island in milk chocolate sauce and vanilla bean anglaise.

I could live here. This place really exists. I’ve seen it with the whites of my own eyes. As seen on The Travel Channel, the world famous MUSEO del JAMON or loosely translated ‘Ham Museum’ you just gotta see and smell it for yourself. This was THE kobe beef LONG before kobe-style beef became popular with acorn and hazelnut free range grazing. When in Madrid eat and drink like the Madrilenos. Feel free to move about the country.

South of the Border, Paradise style. Newly renovated, Paradise South of the Border is an add-on to the Paradise Grille bar, and the neighbors are really happy. It is a spacious new Tex-Mex Mexican restaurant; eat-in or available outdoor tables if you wish. They also have a meeting room available at no extra cost (min 12 people). The service is very fast very friendly, and the location is very clean. Very inexpensive and great for business lunch, family date or dinner.

This place has been here forever, well ever since I have been here, and that is at least 11 years. They never mess up an order and they serve good hot fast Chinese-American style inexpensive Chinese food. They deliver ALWAYS fresh food in about 15 minutes if you are lucky enough to live or work nearby. The driver is a very nice man. The owners are good people just trying to hash out a good American living. Food is yummy and fast and I’m delighted.
