When I made this last week, it got absolutely rave reviews from both Tim and me. I knew he liked it when he took his first bite, said, “Yeah!” and gave me a high five. A few more bites into it, he asked me where I got the recipe. I replied, “Rachael Ray, my old […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
I saw a recipe on Rachael Ray not that long ago that immediately made me think, “I should make that. It sounds really delicious and would be very easy.” Actually, Dr. Travis Stork from the TV show The Doctors was Rachael’s guest and it was his recipe, which they were touting as very healthy. It’s […]
There are many reasons I love summer: the warm early summer weather (not this 100+ degree heat we’ve been having), sleeping in, getting to spend time with Tim and Josie, the drive-in movie theater, traveling, and the wonderful produce (to name a few). Nothing says summer quite like fresh tomatoes from the garden. When I […]
The other day I woke up and decided I wanted to make a skillet scramble for breakfast, so I opened the fridge to see what it had to offer. I saw some of the things we frequently have on hand that were nearing their end game. So I figured, why not throw them into my […]
I think I’m kind of obsessed with this granola bar thing. There are so many different ways to make them – I just can’t help myself! This time I went back to the old standby of peanut butter and chocolate chips, but I also used coconut oil and added coconut. Try to contain your excitement. […]
My philosophy about grilling is that if we’re going to take the time to fire up our charcoal grill, I am going to take full advantage of it. These grilled vegetables are fresh, healthy, quick, and easy. They’re also very colorful. I’ve heard you should eat five colors every day, and some even say five […]
