Possibly an exaggeration, but ultimately, that’s the kind of dinner I’m looking for during the week. Today’s recipe came about somewhat haphazardly when wandering through the aisles of our new local grocery store. You know you live in a small town when the opening of the grocery store leads to near riot type of excitement. […]

Our Kitchen Renovation
I’m quite open about my love of cookbooks. In fact, when we recently renovated our house, I was very concerned with finding a spot in our kitchen for those books. Having them on a shelf in a room far away from the kitchen was just not working for me. Now, they’re easily accessible to me […]

Today’s recipe is for Mango Apple Ceviche and it’s really good. It’s from the new Smitten Kitchen cookbook, which […]
Broccoli Bake

Super Easy Salad
Kale. How do you feel about kale? This following recipe is a super easy recipe for a simple kale salad. It requires minimal effort, but is quite filling and, without a doubt, healthy! I enjoy it as a main, but it could easily be a great accompaniment to a meal. This is a similar, but […]
This One’s a Banger
I’ve left you for so long, I decided that my first recipe back better be killer. THIS recipe deserves all the praise. It may stop your heart, because it certainly isn’t healthy, but it is delicious. Yes, it’s another NY Times Cooking recipe. Have you subscribed yet? You may want to after you try: “Crisp […]
