Got this in the inbox today and I thought I’d pass it along to my local readership. I entered this contest several years ago and had a blast! Of course, I’m sure it helps that I won the contest, but nevertheless, it was really fun to do, and I would […]

Dinner On The Go!
We’ve got our new dance schedule for the next year, and I’m going to have to be on my toes when it comes to dinner. Two nights a week, for sure, we’ll be eating our evening meal at the studio. With a microwave at our disposal, that makes packing something […]
An Attempt At Organization
Yesterday was an impromptu jamming day. I had originally planned on spending the day finishing up our camping laundry and getting things put away from vacation, but then the e-mail came in. The local strawberry patch announced their last day of picking, and because it was the last day, the […]
And A Mate: Pineapple Muffins
These muffins just naturally go with the Coconut Almond Muffins I shared the other day! These also rank right up there with some of The Best muffins I’ve ever made. I don’t even have to go on and on about how delicious they are- they are packed with pineapple flavor […]
Amazing Coconut Muffins
A few weeks ago I went on a muffin baking spree. I tried a few new-to-me muffins, as well as a few oldies-but-goodies. This muffin easily ranks as one of The Best muffins I’ve ever made. I found the recipe on a homeschooling forum that I visit. The original recipe […]
Yes, We Went There: Spaghetti Tacos
Our kids are huge fans of the Nickelodeon show, iCarly. Actually, the whole family is. It’s a fun show that all of us can sit around and watch together, and we’ll all enjoy it. One of the dishes frequently mentioned or eaten on iCarly is Spaghetti Tacos. I’ve been hearing […]
The Foolproof Cake
AND it goes with everything. I really, really like making Yogurt Cake. It really is a foolproof cake- though it does take two bowls to mix the ingredients in. What I like is that I can’t seem to mess it up- and I can vary the flavor of the cake […]
Stewed Lima Beans
A week or so ago, Andy was gone for a few days, and the kids requested some simple food for dinner. They asked for hamburgers and pancakes, so I decided to see if I could find something different to go with the burgers. I flipped through a favorite standby cookbook […]
Guess What I Found?
I found my mojo. Last week I was finally able to break out of the funk I’ve been in and find my cooking mojo. It felt so good to get in the kitchen and really cook for a change! And then that feeling continued through the weekend. Our farmer’s market […]
Two In A Row!
I know what you’re thinking. You’re skipping ahead and looking at the meal I made yesterday and you’re thinking, what the heck? She’s baking in the oven? It’s a little warm out for that isn’t it? Yeah, we’re in some kind of bizarre weather anomaly up here, and it’s been […]
You Must Make This
And that’s a fact. Last night I followed my own advice and headed over to the Noble Pig blog for dinner inspiration. Vietnamese-Style Beef with Garlic, Black Pepper and Lime was simply amazing. Amazing, I tell you. It was salty, peppery, tangy, sweet, and loaded with umami. I served it […]
A Food Blog Love Day
I love food blogs. I do, and there’s a spectacular reason why. Inspiration, my friends. It’s all about inspiration. We’ve been insanely busy the last two weeks. In fact, other than a quick bowl of cereal in the morning, over the last two weeks, more meals have been eaten out […]
