Getting over the boredom of FOOD!

I was watching the food network as normal or I should say as usual. It's my moms doing, lol! Anyway, I've been so bored with the normal food selections that I decided to make a couple of the recipes from Sunny Anderson's show. She had an inexpensive meal, which did not turn out to be so cheap if you know what I mean. It was the need to get all the seasonings that aren't normally setting in a normal pantry, for instance, mustard seeds, pink peppercorn, hot paprika and smoked paprika.

Well, I went on with my bright idea even though it cost me a small fortune for the night. I could have went to Joe's Crab Shack or PF Changs but I stuck to my guns and did the damn thang! LOL!

Anyway the dishes I made are as follows:

• Braised Red Cabbage and Turnips : this was a good dish especially coupled with the next recipe


• Chunky Pear Chutney: this is sooo good. I'm not a huge fan of the spicy but I like when paired with the sweet! This dish is every bit of sweet and spicy. I love it with the cabbage. Sunny...bravo! :D My tummy thanks you.
• Grilled Lamb Chops: I didn't do the Chicken Fried Pork chops only because I already had Lamb Chops that I wanted to sink my teeth into...so thus Lamb Chops! LOL These too were scrumpouslicious! The lemon with the thyme was so good and garlic is always a bonus! My hat off to Bobby too! MUAH!

Now only what am I to do with tonight's dinner. I think I'm going to gear it to the kid (my lovely 13 month old son), Savon! I will be introducing him soon!
I so wish I had of taken a picture of my wonderful meal. Oh well, next time!

XMAS 4 Savon sale

Not sure how many of you know that I had a baby back in March. He is 8 months today and I'm wondering how I'm going to give him a decent Christmas this year. You see I've been struggling for about two years and I've been holding it together until September of this year when we got evicted. The next step...Savon and I living out of our storage unit! I pray it does not come to that but I do want to make this Christmas memorable for both of us.

So I'm asking for your help. I have a sale that will start Friday, December 4 through the Sunday, December 6, EVERYTHING in the store will be 30% off. Everyone who makes a purchase will be entered into this year's Holiday Extravaganza...

So please RETWEET THIS...I really want to make this Christmas a special one.
