I go back and forth a lot on whether or not I really like Rachael Ray. I can’t say that I particularily enjoy watching her- she seems so frantic sometimes. And her little sayings are kinda fourth grade. But I have purchased several of her books, including the latest one […]

Because sometimes good intentions run amuck. This was my attempt at EoMEoTE. And in addition to being dumb enough to take a picture BEFORE dousing the blaze with baking soda, I learned that poaching eggs is so much more than dropping some eggs into simmering water. Um…yeah…it will be a […]

That sounds like it could be naughty doesn’t it? It’s actually a fun event being hosted by Sweetnicks today. I’ll Show You mine If You Show Me Yours is actually referring to the refrigerator. So let’s take a peek, shall we? Here is the main body of my fridge. It […]

Well, I don’t know about everyone else, but I had fun coming up with a few morsels for VRC: Food On A Stick. It was equally fun to see the entries pop up in my inbox. And all of them look really good. I mean, mouthwatering good. One of the […]

I just HAD to come up with one more recipe to share for VRC:Food On A Stick. I decided to try something a little different. A while back, I was inspired by Cat Cora on Iron Chef: America. It was Battle:Hamburger, and she made these little burger patties on a […]

Well, we had a very nice weekend in Minneapolis visiting my brother. Very nice. The whole weekend was pretty relaxing and fun. The kids had a complete blast, and Zander was very sad to learn that Uncle Ben would not be coming home with him in the van. Abigail, however, […]

My contribution this month is a recipe for Chicken Tikka. I found this recipe in Rachael Ray’s 30 Minute Meals 2. The recipe is definitely a 30 minute meal- unless you let the chicken marinate longer, which I defintely did. There are also other recipes with the Chicken Tikka Recipe […]

Honestly, I do try to eat healthier. I am always eager to try new foods and new combinations of foods in an effort to eat healthy and also have it be tasty. But lately I have discovered a few things that I guess I am just not going to be […]

Food On A Stick!! Here’s my weekly reminder about VRC: Food On A Stick. We’re coming up on the deadline with just one week to get your submissions in. As a reminder, VRC recipes do not need to be current, they can be something in your archives, or simply a […]

This is the time of year I spend smiling. I hate winter. I really loathe winter. I despise being cold, and no amount of bundling up can keep me from becoming cold. So I welcome spring wholeheartedly. From the moment The Great Thaw begins until the leaves start to bronze, […]

Albania is one of those little-known countries. I have always known OF it, I excelled in geography in school, but I never knew much about it. Sunday nights we have a group of friends who get together from our church. We always have a meal together, and right now we […]
