Emeril Spices up my world….

by DanicasDaily on July 29, 2009

Let me just start out by saying my pedicure and orange peel rocked! Seriously, you’d be surprised at how smooth it makes your heels when they use the orange peel.  It reverses all the damage from flip flops ~ I highly recommend it if you are ever considering it.

When I got home I had a super cool package waiting for me from FoodBuzz.  It was a bunch of fun Emeril Spices that I received as part of the Taste Makers Program.    I cannot wait to try them out and see what fun recipes I can come up with using them all.

Original Essence & Chicken/Steak Rub

And Horseradish Mustard & Chicken Stock

 

I was totally hungry by the time I got home (reading a bunch of cooking magazines during my pedicure probably didn’t help).  I snacked on some Lemon Pita Chips with Roasted Red Pepper Hummus while I pondered what to make for dinner.

I thought of making a BBQ Chicken Tortilla Pizza using that Roasted Red Pepper Sauce from TJ’s or making breakfast.  Then, The Husband made a good point that I should eat leftovers with him…..not cooking = the best option for dinner.

I had 1 piece of BBQ chicken – LOVE BBQ chicken!

And 1 pork loin rib.

Some leftover cheddar potatoes – so good even the next day!

I had to share my corn on the cobb with The Husband so I only got 1/2 of what you see here.

All together with a POM Mocktail Spritzer – dinner was ready in under 3 minutes!

Just to show you all how small those Trader Joe Raspberry Vanilla Bars I plated it tonight with some whipped cream and sprinkles.  They are small but they pack a bunch of flavor for 2 Weight Watcher Points.

It’s funny to me how yesterday I wasn’t really hungry all day and today I think my hunger sensor is broken and I am eating everything in site.  Maybe spinning revved up my hunger levels?…Hmmm…..

Tomorrow I think I am going to replicate that Shrimp Scampi I had on Sunday….MMMMM! 

I have to bring a dish to my Nephew’s 2nd Birthday party this Sunday.  I could make my usual Vegan Pasta Salad but I am thinking something new is in order.  Do you all have a favorite goto BBQ side dish you like to bring?  I’d LOVE any ideas you have!

I am watching Chopped, but, think I am going to move onto reading next. 

Nite all!
