In case you missed it, Cinco De Mayo was yesterday! In honor of this holiday I decided to try a recipe that caught my eye in Shape magazine. I love all things Mexican – chips and salsa, guacamole, enchiladas, tacos, the rice, fajitas….pretty much all of it. I think I could eat it everyday, and…
I had printed this recipe from Cooking Light a LONG time ago, and really really wanted to try it. I finally got around to it. I hate it when your expectations are so high, and it just doesn’t live up to it. I love Asian flavors, and pork – so I thought this would be…

It is finally starting to feel a little like spring. It has been a long time coming this year in Iowa. We went from 80’s one weekend, to snowing the next! And since, it has just been rainy, windy, and cold! So this weekend when it was finally sunny and in the 60’s it was…

Tomorrow is my son’s 6th birthday! He is very excited. This weekend we had a party with extended family. He is currently obsessed with anything Star Wars – so he had a Star Wars cake, and got lots of Star Wars presents. His party with his friends tomorrow will be more of the same, I…
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…
