One of the EASIEST and yummiest ways to cook a roast! - 04/27/11 07:41 PM
I promise you, this roast comes out juicy and tender every single time. Ooooh so easy and absolutely no fuss!
You'll need just two ingredients.
A Boneless chuck roast (3-5 lbs), and a packet of onion soup mix.
Take the chuck roast and place it on a large piece of heavy duty aluminum foil. Take the packet of onion soup mix and sprinkle it over the roast. Seal up the aluminum foil VERY TIGHTLY to prevent any leaks. Place the wrapped roast in a roasting pan.
Cook for 4-5 hours in a 300 degree oven. This comes out juicy and fork … (8 comments)

Can the seller make repairs to the house before closing? - 04/21/11 01:19 PM
Can the seller make repairs to the house before closing?
With the amount of foreclosed properties out there, it's not unusual to see many homes in need of some cosmetic repair. The previous owner may have left the home they vacated in a less than desirable or "move in ready" condition. I've seen homes where appliances were removed, carpets were left in filthy condition and even graffiti on the walls.
When a borrower is considering purchasing a property such as mentioned above, it's often requested that the seller make repairs, or perhaps the buyer requests a "carpet allowance". While all that … (2 comments)

My Saturday Foodie Post - Macadamia encrusted cod with pineapple beurre blanc - 04/16/11 11:30 AM
Well, I didn't win the recipe contest, but it sure was fun cooking with the chef up in the Portland area a few weeks ago. I made this at home again the other night so figured I'd post the recipe again with a photo. Cod fillets (really any white fish would work, I just happened to have these on hand.) Halibut or mahi mahi would be good choices too. macadamia nuts panko bread crumbs Olive Oil Pineapple juice concentrate (the stuff in the can in the freezer section) dry white wine heavy cream imitation rum flavoring (I suppose "real" … (9 comments)

"Thai-ish" Salmon over rice noodles - 04/12/11 08:44 PM
I think I have a new favorite way to prepare salmon! So I got home from work last night and pulled out a few salmon fillets. How to prepare them was the question. So, I started going through the pantry and fridge to get inspired.
Out from the pantry came rice noodles and some peanuts. From the fridge came some red cabbage, matchstick carrots, green onion, cilantro, Yoshida marinade and some Thai Sweet Chili Sauce.
Cracked pepper and salt went onto the fillets which were then placed in a baking dish. On top of the salt and pepper they got a drizzling … (11 comments)

My Saturday Foodie Post - A day early - Tacoless Fish Tacos - 04/08/11 02:34 PM
I'll be traveling tomorrow so figured I'd toss this one out there today. Heck, it IS Friday, and Friday's are Fish days, right?
I pulled out some cod from the freezer the other night and was trying to get inspired as to what to do with it. I was kind of in a "Mexican food mood", but didn't want anything real heavy or rich. So Tacoless Fish Tacos is what I came up with.
Here's what I had on hand:
Cod Fillets Peach Mango Salsa Chopped Cabbage Chopped Romain Lettuce Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese Cilantro Green Onion Corn Tortillas

The Power of ActiveRain....How cool was this!? - 04/08/11 01:49 PM
Being a complete newbie to ActiveRain, I'm not at all surprised that all the responses to my blog posts have been from ActiveRain members. I appreciate all of you who take the time to read from a newbie and comment.
Well this morning I noticed I had a response from a NON ActiveRain reader. A gal by the name of Julie must have been doing some Google Searching with regard to how the possibility of the Government shutdown could have an effect on a mortgage.
Yesterday I wrote a blog article on just that.

How will the Government shutdown impact my new loan? - 04/07/11 05:21 PM
How will the Government shutdown impact my new loan?
This may be a question on anyone's mind who is in the midst of obtaining an FHA, VA, or USDA loan. At the time of the writing of this blog, it's uncertain as to the level of impact this may have, but there are definitely concerns.
It's certainly possible that the impending shutdown could effect the ability to obtain CAIVRS, FHA case numbers, VA loan numbers and USDA conditional commitments through the appropriate governmental systems. If such is the case, loan closings could very well be impacted.
While the focus of this … (10 comments)

My Saturday Foodie Post - Karen's Christmas Chicken - 04/02/11 08:15 PM
Don't let the title fool you. This isn't really a "Holiday" dish, per se, that's a name my mom came up with, merely because of the green pesto and red tomatoes used.
This is one of the easiest dishes ever and everyone I have made it for just loves it. It's particularly nice for company, as it's something you can easilly prepare ahead of time, let cook slowly, which allows you time away from the kitchen, allowing you to visit with your guests.
Here's what you will need.
Chicken thighs (1-2 per person, depending on size of appetites)Diced canned tomatos, Italian Style … (18 comments)
