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 …

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! …

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 …

Outsmart the Winter Wind- Creamy Chicken and Bacon Soup

It’s An Honor- An Appearance Outside My Own Blog!

I have a recipe up my sleeve that I wanted to share this week, but due to technical difficulties I couldn't get it posted. I hope to have it up next week. In the meantime, I had something exciting happen last week: I was contacted by Endless Simmer to be featured in their Top 10 …

You’ll Probably End Up Sick- Chicken Garlic Soup

It's that time of year again; the weather is getting cooler (well... it is here, anyway), school is back in session, and pretty soon it will be time to close the windows up for cold weather. All of that adds up to one thing: outbreaks of cold & flu bugs. While it's true that people …

Autumn Is Coming, Bringing Sports With It- Chili for Hot Dogs

I've certainly made no secret of my love for Autumn here on this blog and in life in general. However, that love doesn't carry over to the sports that come with it. Well, one sport in particular: American football. It's not that I'm against sports entirely; I'm not. Rugby is awesome, soccer is pretty damn …

Don’t Knock It Til You Try It- Gingersnap Beef Stew

Seriously- stay with me on this one. I know it sounds outrageous and you want to turn your nose up at the idea. You're thinking "Gingersnaps don't belong in beef stew. Or any stew for that matter." But if you refuse to be at least a little adventurous and humor me on this you will …
