We’re still under seige from the ants, though I think we’re finally gaining on them. I still find one on the counter here and there though, so cooking is still minimal in my kitchen. It’s a bit 0f an ordeal to throw a meal together and then have to clean […]

The Smallest Creature…
Ants. The ants are at it again. Only this time, we are fortunate that our ants are the kind that only come out at night. These are far preferable to those horrible tiny ants we have had in a previous home that literally got in every food item in the […]
Ten Minute Mashed Potatoes
I never would have thought it possible, and yet, I did just that last night. Cooking Light magazine was the magazine I cut my cooking teeth on. It taught me how to cook- and how to cook healthily. I have so many recipes and cooking methods in me repertoire thanks […]
Another Crock-Pot Winner
Clearly, I have to purchase this cookbook. I’ve renewed “Not Your Mother’s Slow Cooker Family Favorites” the maximum that our library allows, and I’m still enjoying it. I opened it up yesterday to see if I could find dinner inspiration and found it almost instantly with Apricot-Ginger Chicken Legs. One […]
Sloppy Chicken Parmesan Sandwiches
Today’s recipe is one of those things that came about simply because everything else just didn’t sound particularly appealing to me. Last weekend we’d done up a few rotisserie chickens on the grill and had a whole lot leftover. With a bit of a warm up in the air (finally!) […]
Scratch Cherry Pie
It is most definitely the year of the pie for me. Pie is one of those things that makes everyone happy, and is actually one of the healthier options when it comes to desserts. In fact, often times when I make a fruit pie, the pie slices actually become part […]
A Super Quick Non-Recipe
Last night as I loaded dinner into the crock-pot, I thought that I should share it here on the blog. It’s one of those things that is so easy, it’s almost embarrassing to share. But it’s tasty, and most importantly, it’s ready when I want it to be ready. We […]
He Cleaned His Plate And Asked For Seconds
Anyone who knows my son, knows how that NEVER happens. And I truly mean never! Oh, he’ll ask for seconds on fruit or dessert, or something sweet, but never, never the “real food” on his plate. Last night, I watched in sheer amazement as my son tasted his supper, proclaimed […]
The Growing Boy, Part II
So yesterday I posted about the crackers that I was making to keep my Always-Hungry-And-Growing-Boy satisfied. The crackers help, but after a while, he does get tired of the same old snacks. There is one thing though, that he will always be happy to eat- and it does a fantastic […]
The Growing Boy
There are days where Zander is just your typical normal boy. He eats normally, plays normally, and is just an all-around kid. And then there are days where I wonder if he’s hiding a homeless boy somewhere in the house and is squirreling away food to share with him. But […]
Playing With Crockpot Cookery
Things are constantly changing in our household! Andy has finally returned back to work after a long winter lay-off, and when he works- he works! A work day usually finds him returning home quite late in the evening- well after the dinner hour has been visited by the kids and […]
Loaded Waffles
Over the next week or so, I’m going to go through some random photos I’ve taken over the last month and just say a thing or two about that picture. It’s been a quiet couple of weeks, but there is still food. There is always food, and while some may […]
