Whew. We totally enjoyed our week away in the woods, and there will most definitely be a blog post or two on the week we experienced. Specifically, I have a post planned to share a bit of our experience with some Miracle Fruit. But imagine being away for the week, […]

Freezing Blueberries
The single easiest act of food preservation you could ever do is freeze your own blueberries. You know how you go to a farmstand or a Farmer’s Market and you see those big 10 pound boxes of blueberries, and you wonder how you’d ever manage to use them all? Buy […]
Off To The Woods!
I closed comments on old articles so that I don’t have to deal with a truckload of spam when I return from our little vacay. You can always e-mail if you have a question, and I’ll get back to you sometime next week. Have a great week!
Taco Pie: A Leftover Solution
We have tacos or burritos quite a bit at our house. It’s just such a great, quick and easy meal. You can vary it by using different meats, cheese and veggie toppings, and it’s totally a make-ahead deal. It’s so easy for me to cook up meat, shred cheese and […]
Getting Organized
It’s slowly getting there around here. We’re in the home stretch of the first week of our new schedule, and I think it won’t take too long to figure things out. If I have it figured out right, we’ll have two meals a week that we take with us, three […]
Brownies With A Twist
We were blessed this past weekend to travel West a few hours and spend some time with extended family. It’s a weekend we look forward to every year, though this year it seemed a little more special because we all missed it last year. One of the things I try […]
Making Stir Fry Magic
Do you know what I love about stir-fries? You can literally make them with anything you have on hand. Literally. Any handfuls of vegetables- fresh, canned or frozen can be compiled in a pot with or without meat and be called dinner. Yesterday I looked in the fridge and freezer […]
A Sweet Treat For The Coming Heat!
The hot, hot, hot weather is on it’s way! Tomorrow at this time the mercury is expected to climb back up into the range of “oppressive”. We’re ready for it. The air conditioners are in the windows, and I have a garden full of salad greens ready to be a […]
Easy Basil Pork Chops
This was one of those meals that I needed on the fly. I had pork chops… and no inspiration as to what to do with them. We’d had several meals of stir-fries and pork taco-like things, and it was time for something porkish that was different than what we’d been […]
An Amazing Pickled Jalapeno
This is a quick pickle, my friends. This is a one jar at a time deal that you store in the fridge and pull out as needed. And it will be needed, because these jalapenos are absolutely delicious, and are a must have for your next barbecue. The idea to […]
Philly Cheesesteak
I’ve never been fortunate to have a real Philly Cheesesteak. I mean, I’ve had them out and about, but I’ve only ever been in Philadelphia once in my life- and that was for a work-related conference that had us inside a conference/meeting center for about 8 hours. Wow, that was […]
Homemade Italian Sausage
After the breakfast sausage post the other day, I figured I better get back right away and share the Italian Sausage recipe. Like the breakfast sausage, this is a revelation for me. I can make my own sausage? Oh my gosh, I can make my own sausage! We love Italian […]
