Tonight’s dinner was inspired by a recipe from Eating Well magazine. I don’t cook out of Eating Well nearly enough, and I tell myself that every time I make a recipe that I consider a repeater from them. I say dinner was inspired, because I didn’t follow the recipe 100% […]

A Daliance With Dill
It started innocently enough. We were going to spend an evening with friends, and I needed to bring along a salad and dessert. I had every intention of hitting the farmer’s market for salad things, but the day got away from me, and I ended up at the grocery store. […]
Happy Birthday Abigail!
Could my girl really be ten years old today? Why yes, yes she is. Once again, she requested a Star Wars cake for her birthday. I thought I could go the easy route that I took for Zander’s birthday, but unfortunately the only Star Wars Lego sets available were the […]
Dutch Oven Delights
I’ve been wanting to share this website with everyone ever since our camping trip this year. I love talking to people about what we eat when we go camping, because no one ever believes it. When the average person thinks of camping food they think of things like hot dogs, […]

One of the few things that is growing nicely in my garden is my lemon thyme plant. I brought this plant home with me in June from the Minneapolis Farmer’s Market, along with five other herb plants. For the most part, the herbs are doing okay. (Except the sage which […]

No End In Sight…
For salad season, that is. Here we were, having a cooler than normal, mild summer, and now that we’re in the last few weeks of it, it’s letting loose like you wouldn’t believe. Hot and exceptionally sticky makes for a really cranky me when it comes to cooking. And not […]
Almond Chicken Salad
This salad doesn’t need much of an introduction, or a long tale about how it came about being made in my kitchen. It’s been hot and muggy out this week, and cooking anything has been far from appealing. Unable to come up with any ideas for a cold supper, I […]
The Indispensible Grill Basket
Do you have one of these? If not, and you have a grill, then you need one. You really, really do. I had no idea how much we needed one until we had one! We were given one not too long ago, and have made much use of it ever […]
