This is a cookbook I really wanted to own. I mean, it’s a book full of recipes for the crock-pots and slow-cookers in our lives, and who could not want an easy dinner sometimes. I received this book for Christmas a few year ago, and sadly, it did not live […]

Here she is… Miss America!
Well, not quite. But Abigail lost her first tooth today, so I thought I’d share the moment. She is so excited to go to school tomorrow. I hope she manages to sleep okay… This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 License.
Wednesday
And I promised last week that this would be the return of Weigh-In Wednesday. So here it is. I am sad to say that with all the work I did last year at losing a slight 4 pounds, thay have managed to creep back over the holidays. Or at least […]
An Unknown Goldmine
Yesterday when I went grocery shopping, I finally remembered to stop and look at the King Arthur Flours. I’ve always just gone past them, because although I know they are of an excellent quality, I also know that quality is not free, so I’ve just passed them by, assuming them […]
That Crock Pot
Well, nothing like a migraine to get in the way of an entire day. I went grocery shopping yesterday and by the time I got home in the morning I was at the beginning stages of a headache, and it never went away. All intentions for the day pretty much […]
Tortilla Making?
Yesterday for Sunday Company dinner, I decided to commit a sin and prepare a couple of recipes I’ve never made before. Usually when I do this, it’s a recipe I’ve had before, but normally, I’m not a huge fan of testing recipes on company. The whole affair started Saturday when […]
A Fantastic Loaf
The other day on the Cooking Light Bulletin Board, I was discussing breads with a gentleman who mentioned that he was making a buttermilk bread at the moment. That sounded so intriguing, and I really didn’t want to bother him to type up the recipe, as bread recipes can get […]
I tried…
A few weeks ago, Kevin at Seriously Good announced a Mac-N-Cheese off for today. All in the spirit of fun and good eating, of course. I made a mental note to participate, I mean, mac-n-cheese! What’s not to love about macaroni and cheese. Sadly, in my meal preparation this week, […]
The First Dud
Last night I returned to a new favorite for dinner. Honey Ginger Chicken Bites were exactly what we all wanted. That chicken is so good. This time I made it with all chicken thighs, and I left out the orange zest, and that’s the way it should be made. So […]
Check Another One
I’m on a roll. Today I grabbed another cookbook and check another off my list. Although in all fairness, I knew this book would not be difficult to check off the list. Today I turned to my trusty King Arthur Flour Baker’s Companion. I love this book. I have yet […]
It’s Wednesday!
And this is the one-week warning that next week, Weigh-In Wednesday will return. I’m not 100% sure what the focus will be, but next Wednesday it will return in some form or another. I think I’m going to utilize my Wednesday post to focus more on healthy eating than fitness […]
Breakfast for a King
Happy New Year! This morning I woke up feeling refreshed, and after checking my e-mail this morning, I decided I needed to make a special breakfast to start off the new year. It’s been a long while since I’ve made a batch of scones. Once upon a time, they were […]
