Exciting news – our kitchen is done!…ish. 🙂 I mean, it’s definitely back in working order. We still have a few things to put away, the crown molding needs to go on top of the cabinets, the dishwasher has to be mounted to the cabinets, and I have to get a new curtain and put […]
We’re supposed to have pretty nice weather this upcoming week, and it might be our last chance to break out the grill. Here’s your opportunity to give something different and wonderful a try! If you’re tired of grilling the same old burgers, steaks, and chicken, try this grilled pizza recipe! Never thought about grilling pizza? […]
Eggplant Parmesan, and eggplant in general, is one of those things that I didn’t really like until I was an adult…like almost 30. But in my defense, I never really tried it until then, so I didn’t know if I liked it or not. It just so happens that eggplant is in season right […]
It’s been a while since I posted. Did you miss me? As you know, we’ve been remodeling our kitchen, so that is keeping us busy, plus we were out of town for a wedding last weekend. I apologize for neglecting you all. As a peace offering, please accept this delicious turkey burger recipe – my […]
Once it starts to turn cool and fall makes its appearance, pumpkin begins calling to me. For about three or four years now, I have been making these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies that, for me, are synonymous with the beginning of fall.

It’s an exciting time around our house because we’re in the process of a complete kitchen overhaul. I mean, the whole works – we’ve torn down two walls, and we’ll be getting new flooring in the whole main floor, new cabinets and countertops…it’s so exciting. And such a mess! And if you’ve ever remodeled anything, […]
If you love Mexican food like I do, then maybe you’ve tried before to replicate the delicious white queso dip found in Mexican restaurants. I don’t know about you, but I could eat that stuff by the vat. But that’s besides the point. If you’ve tried to make it at home, then you know it […]
Peaches are in abundance right now, so I’m always looking for yummy ways to use them. I really love eating them al natural this time of year – they’re just so perfectly ripe and juicy and flavorful. I mean, let’s be honest, the rest of the year, peaches aren’t worth a darn. So this time […]
It’s that time of year – tomato season. I’ve mentioned before that I love tomatoes, but inevitably every year I find myself with an abundance, wondering how I can use them up lest they go to waste. If you find yourself with a similar conundrum, then you’ve come to the right place. Not only is […]
