I have never tried Meyer Lemons before. I am not sure I had even heard of them before I started blogging. I finally gave in, and picked up a bag last week at the store. Unsure as to what I should do with them, I went to my dear friend Google. Finally I decided on…
Side Dish Recipes
Bread Salad
I am honored to be posting over at Cooking Healthy for Me today. Ann is lucky enough to be visiting family in England, and asked if I would fill in for her. Of course!! Given that Ann is the Queen of healthy meals, I had to make something to fit in over there. I made…
Corn Muffins
Corn Muffins – light and tender cornbread in the form of muffins! These are great with soups, stews, chili, barbecue, or just about anything!
Bloody Bones
Things are progressing with our house. All the inspections are over and “passed”. We are set to close on December 5th. My husband even found a lot that is worth considering out in Fort Collins. It would be so nice to find something before we moved out there. Then we could send our 6 year…
THE Rice
THE Rice – this rice is a super easy side dish the whole family will love. Mushrooms and french onion soup give the rice lots of great flavor. Photos for The Rice were updated 12/12/14 We have accepted an offer for our house! YEAH!!! Our house was on the market for 41 days, which seems…
Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette
Over the weekend we had some great friends throw us a going away party. It was so much fun to get to hang out with everyone before we move. I had to convince them to let me help with the food. It is after all, kind of what I do! In the end I…
Creamy Polenta
I ended up having to take my son back to the doctor today. He just wasn’t getting any better, after being on the antibiotic for 2 1/2 days. They gave me a stronger antibiotic. She told him in 24 hours he would feel like a new man! I really hope that she is right! I…
Homemade Nutella
Nutella is the stuff dreams are made of. Everyone loves it, and we all can find a million things to do with it. So to start I figured why not make my own instead of buying it. I still had tons of hazelnuts left, even after making this pie. I researched a bunch of different…
Strawberry Raspberry Jelly
We made it home from vacation! It is a really long drive from Salt Lake City, Utah to Iowa. But I can now say that I have driven every inch of Interstate 80 across Wyoming and Nebraska in less than 12 hours. My 6 year old does awesome in the car, or we wouldn’t be able to…
Grilled Potato Packs
My husband forwarded me an email he got from Betty Crocker for some grilled potatoes. He never searches for recipes, or pays that much attention to them. So when he sent me this email, I took it as a hint. I figured the next time we grilled, I would make these potatoes! As luck…
Experimenting with Quinoa
I have wanted to try Quinoa for a long time now. It is on cooking shows and in magazines, and everyone raves about how good it is for you. The thing that has stopped me has been the price. A bag of it locally was almost $11. I finally mentioned it to my husband, and…
