Pineapple Tart Cookies – Singaporean Style

January 30, 2021 //  by Tom

Chicken Hot Wings – Oven Roasted and Cooked to Perfection

December 19, 2016 //  by Tom

Do chicken hot wings have their own place in the food pyramid? I think they might have left them off the bottom because they are a must in any balanced diet… Maybe they just ran out paper when they were drawing the pyramid. Glorious chicken hot wings, how I love thee. If there ever was a food that could brighten even a dark Chicago winter day, it would have to be the perfectly roasted chicken wing, with magic dust of course, and finished with some Frank’s hot sauce. Worries disappear as …

Carrot Orange Beets Ginger and Turmeric Juice (COBGT Juice)

October 11, 2014 //  by Tom

Beet Juice Recipe to Boost Your Nutrition Intake and Brighten Your Day! Bold color and big nutrition. This juice is loaded with some richly colored roots, kicked up with ginger and turmeric and then smoothed out with some oranges. It turns out super red, but don’t let that fool you, it doesn’t taste as earthy (like dirt) as you might imagine a beet juice blend. With the eternal question of juicing or smoothing, I choose both. I have not gone down the juice cleanse road, although I …
