Happy New Year!!! Not quite sure where 2021 went? I had high hopes of creating an amazing blog and writing every day about my cooking adventures big and small. Then, June happened, and an opportunity presented itself to change positions within my company. Next thing I knew, it was January 2022! So, let’s start a… Continue reading Happy New Year!! 2022

Change is good and is possibly on the horizon – no time for cooking tonight! Remember that Spring Creek BBQ? Me, too! BBQ Chicken, meet Chicken Salad – that’s what’s for dinner! I took the chicken off the bone, mixed Hellman’s mayonnaise, Private Selection Dijon mustard, Spring Creek BBQ Sauce, chopped pecans and diced Fuji… Continue reading 4.26.2021

Yesterday, I fueled us up with the Eggs in a Hole so we could work on getting the yard ready for the new playscape that will arrive in a few weeks. So this morning, I decided to leave Todd alone and let him sleep until he was ready to get up (didn’t realize that would… Continue reading 4.25.2021

Happy Saturday! Last night I was not much for cooking, I was pooped! Spring Creek BBQ to the rescue! We ordered enough to keep us going for a few meals – I was hungry for BBQ and I really needed some fried okra! On to today – I felt like me again, and Eggs in… Continue reading 4.24.2021

Each child decorates a pizza box and you can either have the pizza delivered to the school, to your home, or you can go to the restaurant and pick up. Large pepperoni pizza and a Greek salad –… Continue reading 4.20.2021

We need something “healthy” for dinner. Todd has been travelling and eating out a lot, so home-cookin’ is a must! Tonight was Salmon with Far India Pine Nut Couscous, Roasted Brussels Sprouts, and Tzatziki Sauce.

It’s Saturday and I must bake! My mom loves to read cookbooks as much as I do. I’m not sure where she picked this one up, but after she was done reading it from cover to cover, she decided it wasn’t for her. So, I got a new cookbook – yay!!! There are so many… Continue reading 4.17.2021

In September/October 2019 Todd, my husband, decided to try the Keto diet. New recipes, and new dishes to try?? Why, challenge accepted! Note that while I say he decided to try the Keto diet, I attempted and didn’t make it past the first month. I like the recipes, there are some really tasty creations out… Continue reading 4.15.2021
