It’s Friday again… Can you believe it? I can’t, but that’s because it’s not *actually* Friday yet. It’s Thursday night… for another 57 minutes, at least.
This has been a busy week for me. Earlier in the week, I found out that I am headed to NYC in a few weeks. I was also busy with [...]

Friday Favorites – Episode 38
Tomato Beef Soup
On a cold, windy January day, nothing beats a nice hot bowl of soup. Right?
Last week, I made a big batch of shredded beef in my slow cooker. After having the leftovers a few times, I knew I needed to re-purpose the leftovers and come up with something new. It’s been pretty cold here (and pretty [...]
Friday Favorites – Episode 37
My Friday Favorites are back!
I hope you’re as excited as I am… I really enjoy reading through everyone’s food blogs each week. I am always amazed by the creativity and brilliance of all of the other bloggers out there. And, when I see great food, I get excited and just have to share… I’m sure [...]
Spicy Black Beans
My husband “doesn’t like black beans.” At least, that’s what he thought.
In addition to the goals I mentioned in my first Ten in 10 post, another ongoing goal that I have is to make more vegetarian meals. I typically make one or two vegetarian dinners each week, but I would like to be eating meatless meals [...]
Stop In for a Caprese Bite…
Thanks for stopping by! Help yourself to some appetizers and have a look around…
You’ve probably noticed that things around here have been looking a bit different lately! I have spent the past week redesigning the site (now powered by the Headway Theme, as recommended by John Haydon) and adding lots of new pages and information [...]
Spaghetti Squash-sagna
We are still eating the spaghetti squash from our garden this past summer. I stashed a few of them in a large brown bag in my garage one day (trying to make space on my countertops) and totally forgot about them until this past weekend. Amazingly, they are all still good, even after a few [...]
Bacon, Leek, and Arugula Frittata
After only a few years of marriage, I had completely destroyed the set of pots and pans that I received as a wedding gift. The nonstick finish was pretty much nonexistent in that short time. So, I switched over to All-Clad stainless pots and pans just over a year ago. I don’t want to get into [...]
Cheesy Baked Penne
While everyone is concerned about swine flu H1N1, it seems another disease is spreading rapidly this fall. It’s spreading like wildfire from blog to blog. That’s right, I’m talking about cook’s block or food blogger’s block.
Just yesterday, I was discussing this very issue on Twitter with Lucy and Kamran after reading their recent blog posts on [...]
Easy Guacamole – First Impressions of the Ninja Master Prep
Even in the age of technology, there is something exciting about getting things in the mail. Yes, the “snail” mail. I get excited whenever there is a letter or card in the mail with my name on it. It’s fairly normal for my hubby to receive packages in the mail, but I rarely get anything [...]
Simple Tilapia with Zucchini and Tomato Saute
I love to cook, but there is something about Sunday afternoon that just sucks the energy out of me and makes me want to order pizza. After a busy day on Saturday and singing in church on Sunday morning, I am usually ready to take a nap while the hubs watches football (unless the [...]
