I love Chinese take-out. Love it. For us though, we really have to be committed to take-out to order it. For us, Chinese take-out means at least a 30 minute drive, plus the cost of the food. And since I can never make up my mind, we always order a […]

I had to wait until lil’ sis posted about it first… but I’m very excited to say that I’m going to be an auntie again!!!!! My sweet sister Rachel and her hubby Cody are expecting a little sprout next July!!! Remember this wedding that I catered? A humongo congratulations to […]

When this soup debuted in Cooking Light magazine a few years ago, it caused quite a commotion. People couldn’t decide if it really was good. And with the commonality of low-carb diets, a loaded baked potato soup can’t really be considered healthy. I was one of the first to make […]

Yesterday I received the December issue of Eating Well magazine. I’ve really grown to love this magazine. I like their approach to food and the recipes I’ve tried from them have all been winners. Last night I was paging through the issue when a familiar face crossed my vision. It […]

This past Sunday for company dinner I chose an old reliable. There is nothing more classic or more homey than a pan of lasagne. Sauce, meat, cheeses, and sheets of noodles all layered together in the ultimate Italian inspired casserole. Lasagne can seem daunting to some people, but really, once […]

The other day I actually caught a bit of Nigella Lawson’s new show on the Food Network. She is a reason alone to watch that channel. I just love her. She has such a casual way of cooking, yet she presents it in such a classy manner. The other day […]

Trick-or-Treating was more fun today than I expected.

It was so cold tonight, so I hadn’t planned on going very far, but we certainly didn’t need […]
