A few weeks ago I went on a muffin baking spree. I tried a few new-to-me muffins, as well as a few oldies-but-goodies. This muffin easily ranks as one of The Best muffins I’ve ever made. I found the recipe on a homeschooling forum that I visit. The original recipe […]

Yes, We Went There: Spaghetti Tacos
Our kids are huge fans of the Nickelodeon show, iCarly. Actually, the whole family is. It’s a fun show that all of us can sit around and watch together, and we’ll all enjoy it. One of the dishes frequently mentioned or eaten on iCarly is Spaghetti Tacos. I’ve been hearing […]
The Foolproof Cake
AND it goes with everything. I really, really like making Yogurt Cake. It really is a foolproof cake- though it does take two bowls to mix the ingredients in. What I like is that I can’t seem to mess it up- and I can vary the flavor of the cake […]
Stewed Lima Beans
A week or so ago, Andy was gone for a few days, and the kids requested some simple food for dinner. They asked for hamburgers and pancakes, so I decided to see if I could find something different to go with the burgers. I flipped through a favorite standby cookbook […]

You Must Make This
And that’s a fact. Last night I followed my own advice and headed over to the Noble Pig blog for dinner inspiration. Vietnamese-Style Beef with Garlic, Black Pepper and Lime was simply amazing. Amazing, I tell you. It was salty, peppery, tangy, sweet, and loaded with umami. I served it […]
A Food Blog Love Day
I love food blogs. I do, and there’s a spectacular reason why. Inspiration, my friends. It’s all about inspiration. We’ve been insanely busy the last two weeks. In fact, other than a quick bowl of cereal in the morning, over the last two weeks, more meals have been eaten out […]
Time For A New Sandwich
We’re still under seige from the ants, though I think we’re finally gaining on them. I still find one on the counter here and there though, so cooking is still minimal in my kitchen. It’s a bit 0f an ordeal to throw a meal together and then have to clean […]
