Pronounced keen-wah, quinoa is something that I only pull out every once in a while, and that’s a shame, because it is a nutritional powerhouse, and it’s super quick to cook. Quinoa is a grain with the rare properties of being very high in protein- this makes it a great […]

It’s Like Having A Greek Party In The Mouth
Today’s party appetizer is so delicious, that I wonder why I haven’t tried it before. It also happens to be wickedly easy. I simply put all the ingredients into my food processor and turned it on, then let it sit in the fridge overnight to develop the flavors. The next […]
Curried Shrimp Salad Cups
When I was planning to help out with the wedding last weekend, I was looking for a few things that were going to be different than what you’d typically see at a Wisconsin party. So I asked around online, and asked people in other parts of the country, what kind […]
Roasted Tomato Bruschetta With Bacon
Bacon always makes everything better- right? I was asked a few months ago if I would help someone prepare a few things for her son’s wedding. They had that period of time between the wedding and reception where they were hosting friends and family for several hours. A full day […]
Back From The Woods!
Before I give a little re-cap of our week away, let me just mention that I’m energized, re-invigorated, and I’m ready to go! This week I have several new posts planned, and hopefully, I can keep the mojo going. I helped out with a wedding this week and made the […]
Gone Fishin’
Literally! I’ll be back in a week or so. In the meantime though, if you’re looking for something new to do and explore- have you seen Pioneer Woman’s new site, Tasty Kitchen? You should. And you should totally sign up and become a member and start sharing recipes. And then […]
I’m Calling Them Blueberry Buns
Because that’s totally what they are. And they are delicious and completely unexpected. Over the fourth of July weekend, my aunt made some absolutely delicious sticky buns that started with frozen dinner roll balls. I still need to get the recipe from her, but apparently my mom did, because when […]
The Blueberries Have Arrived
Hurry! Go get yours before they’re gone! Blueberries, I think, are my favorite. I can buy them by the ten-pound case, and we can go blueberry mad for a few days and not worry about running out. We start with blueberry pancakes, and then turn to blueberry muffins and blueberry […]
Is It Just Me?
Or has the comment spam been pretty bad for other bloggers too? My apologies, as I’ve had to turn on full comment moderation for awhile. I’ve got to find something better for catching the comment spam. Yikes!
A Different Broccoli Salad
I’m really struggling with finding a good time to blog these days! I have a list of recipes that I need to share, and ‘m just not finding the extra time to sit down and blog. One of these days, I”ll get it figured out, and I hope that my […]
A Different Sort of Recipe
Have you tried it? Have you read of people making their homemade laundry detergent? Have you been like me, you read of it, and you think to yourself that there is no way that homemade detergent actually works? Or maybe, also like me, you see recipes that involve boiling soap […]
You’ll Indulge Me For A Day… Won’t You?
I’m just waking up from a solid night of sleep after a very busy, yet very fun weekend away for the weekend. We had the rare opportunity to spend the weekend with family- both old and new! We got to spend time with my wonderful grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, […]
