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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
A few girls from work and I started a book club, and I volunteered to host the first meeting. Since I love Mexican food, I decided to have a nacho bar. In the interest of keeping things easy, I decided to cook the meat for the nacho bar in the crock pot. Incidentally, remember my […]

It’s […]
Of all things barbecue, I’d have to say pulled pork is my absolute favorite. I especially love it on nachos at Busch stadium during a Cardinals game. Pulled pork is actually really, really easy to make and the crock pot is the perfect method of cooking. Since it cooks low and slow all day, it […]
I don’t frequently cook pork at our house. We have a pretty steady rotation of chicken and fish. I do occasionally buy those premarinaded pork loins and throw them in the freezer when I need a no brainer dinner. But I feel like I’m always seeing delicious pork loin recipes, so the other day I […]
Hold on to your socks, ladies… They’re about to be blown off! That’s right, you have a guest chef in your presence. I am, humbly and proudly, the husband of Cara, and she has humored me by letting me share with you one of my chefly secrets (to be honest, this recipe, as with most […]
I’m always looking for new (read: easy) ways to cook fish. Tim and I ate at a restaurant a while back – it was at least a year ago, but probably more – and I had salmon that had pesto stuffed in it. I don’t remember anything else about the meal – not the side […]
