If we’re not Facebook friends (why not, by the way?) you might have missed my post this weekend about our menu. Your loss. Because what a menu it was! It included these: I know. Totally drool worthy right? I can’t claim them. They were foodnetwork.com finds. And though I can’t claim them as my own,… Continue reading Grilled Sweet Potato Wedges

Slow cooker refried beans
I recently stopped purchasing canned foods. And–not to be bossy–but I think you should too. Why? Because most canned foods, as well as those packaged in various plastics, show traces of BPA. What’s BPA, you ask? It’s a chemical that has been restricted in Canada and some US states because it has been linked to… Continue reading Slow cooker refried beans
Mandelbrot
I’ve been busy. Busy baking that is. Today I’m going to share a recipe for Mandlebrot. I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, what the heck is mandlebrot. Where have you been?

This most recent time I promised a few friends on Facebook that I’d post… Continue reading Tequila lime grilled chicken

You all gave me a ton of great suggestions. So many, in fact, that I plan to compile the top ten and present them… Continue reading Cupcakes For Your Sweetie
Strawberry Pie
I dare you to say your mouth isn’t watering. Yes, this is how I spent one of my precious free hours this morning. Baking a fresh strawberry pie for my family to devour after dinner. This, and freshly laundered sheets on the beds that every single one of them will crawl into tonight. And… Continue reading Strawberry Pie
