This looks much cleaner. I think I like it. Please let me know if something doesn’t look right, or doesn’t work for you. I’ve put the Subscription Bar back into the sidebar- I just couldn’t get it to look right in the footer- but other than that, everything should work […]

Well. I guess I didn’t Build A Better Burger. For anyone interested, you can view the finalists list here at the Build A Better Burger Blog. I submitted two recipes this year. And one I thought needed further tweaking, but the second one was really good. So I would like […]

Something tonight came out of the crock pot that tasted pretty good. This morning I was scrambling trying to decide what to throw in the crockpot, when I remembered a package of frozen BBQ ribs from a few weeks back. Perfect. No fuss, no muss, and the kids will love […]

Yikes! I had no idea that my last post was a monumental post. Yesterday I hit the 400th post milestone. wow. That’s a lot of thoughts floating out there on the internet.Unfortunately, today I don’t really have the time to get all poetic about it and share something profound. Right […]

Today was yet another dreary drizzly day out. The perfect day for something comforting. After dropping off Abigail at school this morning, I decided that today was a day for pie. Specifically, a Cherry-Red Raspberry pie that I saw on Food Network last week. It won best in show at […]

So last night for Sunday Company Dinner, we took a tour of India. Now other than one awesome stew, and one awesome shrimp dish, I can’t say that I’ve ever made real authentic Indian food. So last night was all new to me. I had been planning this Indian venture […]

Yesterday we took the day and drove back down near the city of Milwaukee. The occasion this weekend was a family reunion with my Grampas family. The last time the whole family was together was 10 years ago, so this was a weekend not to miss. It was especially important […]

Just a quick post to say that tonight there will not, in fact, be a new cheese post. I had to go do my weekly gorcery shopping, and the hubby and I thought that we would all go out for a casual dinner tonight. We were on our way to […]

The grocery game has been paying off. I am spending a lot less on my regular weekly grocery trips when I take into account what I have on hand, and what I purchase in bulk. Overall I am spending less, and with those savings yesterday, I was able to purchase […]

It’s been a busy week here, and I’m sorry to say, there hasn’t been much to post about. Yesterday was crock-pot creation day, and while I did think the Chicken stew I made was pretty good, by the end of the meal it tasted like just another crockpot dish. I […]

Talk about the most unfair thing to a 6 year old girl. Abigail loves school. She was looking forward to 1st grade the day she got done with kindergarten. And then all summer we heard about her best friend Irissa, and how much Abigail missed her. And Then Abigail was […]

*sigh*Well, she’s off. We got to school today, and it was a little confusing. We never really got clear directions on where Abigail should go today, so we waited a little while and just watched the other kids to see what we were supposed to do. Poor Abigail, I think […]
