First, she recommend… [Continue Reading]
My father-in-law loves lamb ribs so he’s always coming up with ways to cook them. He showed up the other day with a sack full of groceries, prepared to cook just for me! What a nice surprise to get don’t you think? Anyways, I sat back and watched him cut, chop and stir until the… [Continue Reading]
Tomatoes and onions create some wonderful dishes and this one is no exception. Because it’s nearly impossible to find green tomatoes around here, I used firm red tomatoes instead.

Well, I Ain’t No Rachael Ray! In early June, I had the chance to attend an Oscar Mayer event and learn about their Deli Fresh Meats.

Menu planning is essential for keeping your pantry stocked and budget in check. I don’t know about you guys but with the kids out for Summer, they are eating EVERYTHING in sight which means I’m spending more on food.

I’ve been very overwhelmed lately so I have to give a huge hug and thank you to my mom who stepped in and “submitted” this recipe. She’s actually the real foodie between us and I hope that one day she’ll start her own blog! My mom said this is to die for! It’s a little… [Continue Reading]

I’m not quite sure why it’s not called a Tomato, Onion, & Cucumber Salad considering onions are in it too but, nevertheless, it’s a favorite around here and an easy to one to make! Per my mother’s advice, I used a mason jar to give it “the look”. Of course I was unable to find… [Continue Reading]
