Anyone? Picture this. Tuesday and Wednesday the big snowstorm passed through the area where Andy is working. Snowstorms mean icy slippery roads, hazardous driving conditions, etc. The National Weather Service tells people to stay off the roads as much as possible. Yet where is my husband? Working. On the side […]

Since Andy is out of town this week, I’m making a lot of kid-friendly fare here. In my mind, there is just no point experimenting on my monsters when he’s gone- it’s so much easier to just make what they like and be done with it. Yet that’s not always […]

I forgot to share this recipe last week! Something that I struggle with every year is the day after Thanksgiving. I mean, what do you eat for dinner that day? The last two years we have had company, so I’ve also felt that trotting out a redux of The Great […]

Well, after the excitement of the last week, this week is going to be the exact opposite. Not much going on in the kitchen though, I’m afraid. Andy is working out of town, so I likely won’t be cooking much this week. I do happen to have some fresh bread […]

I’ve never seen my little girl so excited, enamored, and just plain thrilled. She completely enjoyed her Nutcracker experience, and can’t wait for next year. Last night she told me she was sad that it was all over, and I can’t say that I blame her. It was wonderful, and […]

I have to start today by bragging about my daughter. It seems like she can never find enough ways to amaze me. This weekend is her Nutcracker debut. She has spent the last two evenings at hours-long dress rehearsals, and just can’t seem to get enough! Despite the late hours […]

I’ve been craving those Indian flavor again- ever since Thanksgiving. I had it in my mind to try a turkey curry of sorts with some leftovers, but never got around to it. Then yesterday morning I was peering in the fridge, looking for something to nosh on when I saw […]

I realize that just seeing the words pecan pie may be causing you to shudder. To think back to the past several days and the holiday feasting that ensued. But stick with me, this pie is totally worth it. I love pecan pie. We never had it growing up. I […]

So where did that weekend go? Gosh, it’s been a few days since I’ve blogged…my apologies to those of you checking in, waiting on baited breath for my next post. But you know, it is nice to take a break from time to time. I didn’t really want to blog […]

Thanksgiving was great! Everything turned out great, and we really had a great time. I think Abigail summed it up best when I tucked her in at the late hour of 10:30. Tears filled her eyes and she said she didn’t want Thanksgiving to end. 🙂And would you believe there […]
