I will admit it. I have been known to pay a pretty penny for random desserts that I dream about. There is a certain dessert company that sells it’s goods in cafe’s across town. They have a whoopie pie to die for with a splash of cinnamon and brown sugar. After paying almost $4 for… Read more »

Mac n’ Cheese with Green Chili and Bacon
Homemade Mac n’ Cheese was something I started perfecting a long time ago and while my favorite kind is this classic recipe it’s fun to experiment with ingredients, and see what you come up with. I mean, come on, it’s pretty hard to do noodles with butter and melted cheese the “wrong way”. For a… Read more »
Broccoli Tomato Salad
This is one of those side dishes you can whip together in a few minutes, add it alongside some kind of protein and call it dinnertime! It’s not cuisine or rocket science, but it’s fairly healthy and everyone at our table is a big fan. Here’s What You’ll Need 1 Head of Fresh Broccoli –… Read more »
Shrimp Scampi
I’ve hit a weird point in my pregnancy, for some reason chicken (my favorite protein) is really grossing me out and seafood (something I rarely use) just sounds delicious. Since I can only really be counted on for maybe one homemade dinner a week right now I usually pick some kind of seafood to… Read more »
Fruit & Veggie Pops
It’s getting warmer here in Southern California and it seems that any time the temperature gets above 72 degrees my boys start asking for popsicles and ice cream. Usually we get them those mighty mini pops from the store that are roughly the size of a postage stamp (not too much sugar) and are labeled… Read more »
Roast Cauliflower with Capers and Onions
Believe it or not, my first cauliflower cooking experience was only a month or so ago when I made Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes. Since then I’ve used it along side asparagus in a delicious soup and now here I am roasting it out right. As I’m sure most of you knew (long before I got over… Read more »
Salty Dog Cocktail
I had my first Salty Dog a year or so ago and I immediately loved it. The grapefruit juice is tart and delicious and combined with the salty rim it very nearly covers the taste of the gin completely… a dangerous proposition. These are perfect for a warm spring afternoon, and since grapefruit is in… Read more »
Hearty Beef Stew
Warm and Hearty This spring it seems our weather patterns can’t sort themselves out. Today is a beautiful sunny 73 degrees, while Friday it was pouring rain and quite cold outside. Since it was so cold and Dave wasn’t feeling very well on that rainy day I decided to make him something heart warming for… Read more »
Momfession: Marriage to the 8th Degree
Yesterday I was moving some dates around in my calendar and I realized that next month is my wedding anniversary. Just as that date seems to slip up on me every year, so too did these last eight years. Where did the time go? It seems like we’ve lived a thousand lifetimes since our wedding… Read more »
Citrus Smoked Ham
I know readers, I know. If I was a good food blogger I would have made this recipe and posted it for you weeks ago so you could have used it for your Easter lunch yesterday. But let’s be honest, that’s a whole lot of ham to inflict on my family in the span of… Read more »
