Fresh Salsa Recipe – the best fresh tomato salsa with just a handful of ingredients. So easy to make it will be on repeat with all those tomatoes from the garden!
Here is another bread that I made using the Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day book. I don’t really know what Fougasse means, but it looked neat with the cut outs, and my husband loves red peppers, so I decided to give it a go. Being that I can’t stand bell peppers, I didn’t…
A friend of mine let me borrow her Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day book. This book is great! Who doesn’t love fresh baked bread? I mean really, what isn’t to love? It is pretty much perfect. The recipes in this book are really easy. You start with a base recipe. You spend about…
If you are looking for me today, I am over with Chef Dennis at A Culinary Journey. Yes, you heard me right….CHEF DENNIS!!!! I know, I was shocked when he asked me too. I mean, really, he is Chef Dennis. A real live chef. And I am on his radar? Wow! Anyway…I made this amazing…

Chocolate and Peanut Butter is obviously a classic combination. Usually you see it in desserts, but why not have it for breakfast? I saw this recipe over at The Kitchenarian for her Muffin Monday series. I knew I had to make them. Muffins are always a hit here, chocolate and peanut butter is always a…
Until recently I didn’t think that I liked Blackberries. Not sure how I came to this conclusion, but I have been going off of it for years. Then they were in a fruit salad recently, and I was feeling adventurous and thought what the heck. I live on the edge, don’t I? Well, I liked…
My son is obsessed with cheese crackers. I mean obsessed. He could probably live on Goldfish, Cheese Nips, Whales….all of them! So when I saw Katrina make Homemade Cheese Nips, I was in awe! I knew I had to do it. But I don’t have the cute pastry cutter she has, so I had to…
I think I found a new favorite pasta recipe! I saw this mentioned somewhere, and was intrigued. I had to think about it for awhile though, I was a little nervous. I mean, I LOVE avocado’s, but the idea of that as my pasta sauce made me a little nervous. What would it taste like? …

I interrupt my strawberry series to bring you Macarons. Hopefully you will find them equally delicious! Before I started blogging, I had never heard of a French Macaron. Then I saw them everywhere, and everyone made them look so pretty, but they had a reputation of being so technically difficult. I was scared to…
I received an email from a reader last week asking to do a post on ideas for kids lunches. My first thought was, really? I am not the person to ask. I struggle with this every day! But that being said, I figure there are a lot of Mom’s out there with this dilemma right…

Happy Sunday morning to everyone! Hope your weekend is going well, and you have a great start to the week! It has been rainy all weekend here, so we haven’t gotten to do much. I took my 6 year old to see the movie Hop yesterday, very cute! Today….organizing a closet. I know, you are…
Today marks the day I have had my blog for a month!!! Wow, have I learned a lot in a month. And boy, do I still have a lot to learn! I am choosing to live in denial right now that blogger went down yesterday, and my post from yesterday is just lost in cyber…
Friday was Girls Night In, as I wrote about earlier this week. We had a fabulous spread of Mexican food – chips, salsa, guacamole, enchiladas and more! To top off all of this great food, I thought we needed a yummy dessert. This usually is not a problem for me! But, there is a big…
