Here I promised to be back yesterday with a yummy dinner recipe, and then I realized that I had already posted the dinner on the blog before. And then the mroe I thought about it, I am just not crazy about the dish. This was the third time I’d made […]

Well, a week has gone by. I’ve been feeling really good the last few days- it’s been a good week so far. Even my chocolate Promises have kept their place in the cupboard. However, a step on the scale this morning shows no change. And while I fully admit that […]

It seems to be a recurring theme among foodies this week. I have been trying to cook out of what I have on hand this week. So far it seems to be going quite well. Tonight’s dinner was no exception. Today I got it in my head to utilize some […]

This morning I wake up and I see that Alysha has posted the weekly round up for the Virtual Recipe Club. This week’s theme was Italian. That was a tough one to pick just one recipe for. I have made several Italian inspired meals over the past few months, so […]

Snowing that is. I am sooooo done with winter. I have had enough snow and slush and cold weather. I want to be warm. I want to watch my children play in the yard in the lawn. I want to cook on the grill, and have a salad to go […]

Tonight was pizza night. Who doesn’t love pizza? Everyone in our house loves pizza. Especially homemade. Tonight’s toppings included cheese, canadian bacon, pineapple, mushrooms, and onions. The portion for the kids was just the bacon and the pineapple. This is our standard pizza. Usually we’ll add red bell pepper, but […]

Today I determined I was going to learn a new skill. A kitchen skill. Today I turned my attention to a daunting little pastry staple- Pate A Choux. For those who may not entirely be familiar with Pate a choux, it has another term, or discription to be exact. Choux […]

Well, today is the day I promised to talk a little about weight loss and dieting and my personal goals on this. I admit though that I am not entirely sure where I should start. I could go on and on about any of those subjects, but I will try […]

So sorry, I don’t have the previously promised dinenr post. I made a maple-mustard pork tenderloin that really was a bit of a bummer. And my thoughts earlier about getting Abigail to eat a good dinner were well-foiled this evening by her expression of distaste at everything on her plate. […]
