I saw this baby over at Joanne's Eats Well With Others and it not only impressed my mental senses but made my mouth water and instantly became a "need"....."must have"......"craving".I knew I had to make it that night.

Chicken Piccata

Chicken Piccata by Danielle Nichols

I remember the first time I had Chicken Piccata. Sir Sportsalot and I had gone out to dinner at a nice local steak house. I had never heard of the dish and didn't even know what the heck a caper was. I even asked the waitress what it was to make sure it wasn't fish. (I'm allergic to fish...all fish).Well, come on now....doesn't…

A true "southern woman", in every sense of the phrase.My grandmother.I never spent as much time with her as I wanted; her being in Alabama and me, California. But she is responsible for everything that feels "southern" inside of me. I never lived anywhere but California but I feel a…

WOW! Pineapple Zucchini Bread

WOW! Pineapple Zucchini Bread by Danielle Nichols

I really feel silly. I mean.... borderline knucklehead material. Have you ever gotten an idea about how something would be, only to be completely wrong? (ya, it doesn't happen very often and we really shouldn't admit it.....so we'll just keep this on the down-low).I remember the first time I heard about zucchini bread (years and years…

Mexican Meatball Quesadilla (made with leftover meat)

Mexican Meatball Quesadilla (made with leftover meat) by Danielle Nichols

These are not your typical meatballs. Not because they're flavored with a Mexican flair. And not because they were put inside a quesadilla. What makes them so unusual is that they are made from LEFTOVER meat.Cooked meat from the night before that I had leftover.This concept was brought to my attention as I was searching for a recipe…

Cheeseburger Meatloaf Sandwich

Cheeseburger Meatloaf Sandwich by Danielle Nichols

Cheeseburger Meatloaf SandwichSeems like an awful lot of work for a cheeseburger doesn't it? But it wasn't intended to be a cheeseburger. And technically it's not. It's a meatloaf sandwich the day after I made a meatloaf. Only the meatloaf was more like a cheeseburger. It's called Cheeseburger Meatloaf. I got the recipe from my…
