Sloppy Joes


Why is Joe so messy?

The Original Sloppy Joe Sandwich was invented at Sloppy Joe's Bar in Key West, FL.  Their
consistency is just a coincidence to the name.

Sloppy Joes
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 can tomato paste (no sugar added)
1/2 cup water (or more depending on the consistency) 
1 TBSP apple cider vinegar
2 TBSP yellow mustard
1/2 tsp ground cloves 
1.5 tsp salt
2 tsp garlic powder



Brown the beef and onion. Drain fat in colander. 

Return to pan and add remaining ingredients and heat through.

Add more water to get to desired consistency.

Serve in lettuce cups or on Maria's Bread and with zucchini fries!




Maria's Mind Body and Health Bread is Wonderful!  I will have to say the consistency took some getting used to.  It's a tad chewy.  You'll have to make it to understand, but MAN- If you crave just sub roll type bread...make this!  Super easy.  I've baked homemade bread for years.  All the temperature modifications, rising and so forth!!!!  This is some much more practical! I use it for sandwiches, my messy Joes and garlic bread.  Also for breakfast, I spread a little cream cheese on a piece for a bagel craving! :)

Snickers Smoothie

ONE WORD.... Snickers!  Yep!  Makes your mouth and mind BUZZZZZZZZ ! This recipe was graciously shared to me by a trim healthy mama.  I am always skeptical when something says 'healthy' and has a name brand tagged on it.  Like brownies made with cottage cheese.  Or how about 'Doritos' kale chips!  C+C Music Factory comes to mind with "Things that make you go hmmmmmm!"   BUT................. This really has a Snickers-ish flare to it.  And- I love it.   Go all out on your extract.  I have friends that get theirs at Walmart, but quality verses quantity wins me over.  You usually have to use more of the cheap stuff to get that punch of flavor.  My favorite is Bakto .  The other spotlight in this Snickers Shake is Glucomannan.  You can read its wonderful qualities  here. Snickers Smoothie Into your favorite blender add the following:  1 cup of Unsweetened Almond milk (or if you're in heavy weight loss mode, 1/2 cup of almond milk

The Shrinker

A drink that shrinks your waistline, gives you energy, improves your health and fights cancer? What in the world? Yes, it's all true!  Oolong tea can be purchases online, found in Asian markets and I even saw it at Publix.   SHRINK the FAT... **** Oolong improves vitality... prolongs lifespan... combats the aging of skin... treats eczema and rashes... prevents heart disease and cancer… reduces high blood pressure... it's a physical and mental stress reliever... strengthens teeth and prevents tooth decay... improves brain power... you get the picture. Best of all it makes a scrumptious drink called the "SHRINKER" and you get all these extras and more thrown in for good measure.   Oolong contains antioxidants that powerfully destroy free radicals. Research conducted by Dr Kenichi Yanagimoto from the university of California, showed that only 15 days of Oolong tea drinking enabled an incredible 50% reduction in free radicals. Another study conducted by

My allergic reaction to jalapeños

****** If you are having an intense burning from cutting jalapeños and found this blog on the web, scroll to the bottom.  I have labeled what you need to do!!! It was Saturday afternoon. I had a wonderfully planned party at my house for 6pm. I diligently cleaned all day. I had let my house go, so a deep clean was in order. I was saving all my cooking for the last hour of the party so everything would be warm. It was 5pm and I was ready to cook. Being 6 months pregnant, the breaking back work of cleaning had almost done me in, but it was worth it. The house looked great. I planned to make a few dishes, but my star dish was 'Jalapeno Poppers'. I had them in restaurants in the past, but never made them. I got the recipe off a Facebook page. She hand typed it (no blog or star winning website) so it was simple instructions. I destemmed, cut them length wise and deseeded 15-20 jalapenos. Followed the rest of the instructions and into the oven they went. I de
