As many of you know, I’m headed to the Big Summer Potluck (#BSP2) this weekend! So, since I still need to do some laundry, pack, and wrap up 75 gluten-free sugar cookies I decorated for the event, I’m going to keep this short! I’m sure I’ll be sharing all fo the details about the event here…
I would love to say that we have lots of ripe, juicy tomatoes in our garden at the moment, but that’s not the case. It seems that the hot, dry weather we have had lately is working against me. And, of course, the groundhog that has learned to climb the fence isn’t really helping, either….
This time of year, I often start experimenting with different flavors of pizza. Sure, I love traditional pizza with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese, but once we start getting fresh ingredients from our CSA, I can’t resist using some of them on pizza. It’s still early in the season right now, but we’ve already had…
This week, it has finally started to feel like spring around here… Well, maybe more like summer! Either way, I’ve been enjoying the fresh air and getting a lot of work done on flower beds and garden outside. I’ve taken a lot of my cooking outside, too… The grill has been working overtime! As a result,…
This week I’ve been making the mistake of blog reading in the evenings. Let me tell you… Repeatedly looking at gorgeous food at 10:00pm is not smart! I’ve been craving a midnight snack every night. It’s also made it difficult to pick just a few favorites for this blog post. There were lots of amazing recipes and…
It’s time to recap another Kitchen Bootcamp challenge! This month, I thought it would be fun to mix things up a bit and take on the World Cuisines chapter from The Professional Chef, our monthly textbook so to speak. I knew that some new flavors would help me get out of a bit of a…
It’s Friday again, and fall is officially here. We’ve had a rather cool and dreary week this week, and I’m really not complaining. It’s been nice to pull out the sweaters, do some fall baking, and drink hot cider in the evenings! So, as you might have expected, a lot of this week’s favorites have a…
I first started cooking for myself when I was in college and lived in an on-campus townhouse with 3 other roommates. Taco night was always a big hit. We would pick up one of those taco kits – you know the ones, with taco shells, salsa, and a taco seasoning packet. All we had to…
When I’m dreaming up my menu for the week, I will often ask my husband if he has any dinner requests for the week. Last week when I asked, he said “something Mexican with meat.” I think he was thinking of my Beef Enchiladas (pardon the awful picture… that recipe’s on my remake list), which…
Friday Favorites two weeks in a row… Can you believe it? I’ll give you a minute… Now that you’ve gotten over the initial shock, let’s get right to my favorite posts from the past week… Shall we? I really think I’ve picked some good ones this week… I hope you agree! I am loving this…
