Any of you that follow my blog know that if it can be cooked, I am pretty sure it can be grilled. I had also heard of grilling avocados to make guacamole, so I thought I would give it a shot. It was so easy, anyone can do this, and I make lazy man’s guacamole, […]

Smoky Pork Pappardelle for Company
April 13, 2011 by
I made this dish a year ago and loved it so much. I was excited to try it again as a company dinner because there is nothing I love more than having the whole meal done and ready when company arrives. For the most part this meal delivers. I got the recipe from Food and […]
Menu Planning for a Crazy Week/Weeks
April 4, 2011 by
This is my menu plan for this week and on into next week, because it’s one of those months. Not only that but we are fully into track season which means long late days of track meets. So here is my attempt to feed those left at home and those of us on our way […]
Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup
February 14, 2011 by

Tuesday’s Tip It seems like this time of my year my cupboard is a little more bare as I haven’t grocery shopped as much. I still want to make an amazing meal, yet keep it affordable. This is where meal planning comes into play and thinking ahead is key. Last week I wanted to make […]
Baby Dutch Babies
November 30, 2010 by
I love Dutch Baby Pancakes, so much so that I tend to make them so often I wear everyone out. Then I have to take a long break and then bring ’em back. I saw this somewhere, for the life of me I can’t remember where, and decided to make mini’s just for a change. […]
Meatballs
November 8, 2010 by
These are a very favorite recipe of mine. Please don’t hate me because of one of the ingredients that I use, I promise it is so good. I got this from a friend while living in Germany. It has become a “go to” meal every winter for the last 15 or so years. It was […]
With the economy the way it is, it seems like everyone is cutting back and trying hard not to spend money aimlessly on things. I think this is great.
