I’m Alive and Kicking- Really!

Good grief, it's been almost a year. A year!! SO MUCH has happened in that year, and I wasn't sure if I would ever get to come back. I've wanted to, but it just hasn't been in the cards until now. I wasn't sure if anyone would even care at this point if I came back. But …

It’s that Time of Year Again- Homemade Uncrustables

Ridiculously enough, the Super Target in Duluth (Minnesota, about 40 minutes North of us) has already cleared out their summer seasonal section and is in the process of building their back to school displays and stock. Last week's ad already had back to college/school deals, even. It's July for crying out loud! As cringe inducing …

Easy Printing… For Real This Time

So after being informed by my BFF that the print feature I added awhile back actually prints the entire blog post instead of only the recipe like I wanted it to, I have (with a little help from a more experienced blogger) figured out how to make only the recipe in each post printable. Yay! …

Versatility is a Virtue- Lemon Garlic Chicken Breasts

The last few days here in Northern Wisconsin have been just heavenly; highs in the low to mid 70's, a cool breeze all day, and chilly nights to cool the house off to be ready for the next day (saving a ton on the AC bill). This is what I envisioned summers to be up …

Back At It Again- From MY OWN Kitchen!!

Hot damn; I'm bloggin' again! I can't tell you how many times in the last 6 months I've said to myself "I really want to blog... but I've got nothing." You may ask "Why nothing?" To which I answer "because of the kitchen from hell with which I was making do." See; when we moved …

I’ve Added a New Feature!

I've had some requests for a "print recipe" feature, so I looked around and found one of those! You can now find a new button on each post. It's labeled "print and PDF" and it can be found at the very bottom of each post along with the sharing buttons. You're welcome and thanks for …

The Beginning of Fall Doesn’t Mean the End- Sticky Sausages

In my wanderings around town lately I've heard many people bemoaning the end of summer and the cooler weather that's settling in. I smile and say nothing, knowing that my opinion is in the minority currently. But when someone comments on the "end of all the really good summer food" I can't keep quiet. Just …

Summer Sucks XIII: No Panini Grill Required!- Pressed Sandwiches

It's been hot again lately. Really hot. Because the air conditioner is no longer functioning. And it's been in the high 90's outside again, therefore it's been in the mid-80's to low 90's inside. Sigh. Summer sucks. So I've been trying to keep meals on the cool side of the spectrum. But I also know …
