All Recipes

Long time readers will kind of laugh at the title of this blog post because every time I try a new pizza dough recipe, I declare it the best I’ve ever had!  I really have no idea where my love affair with pizza came from, because we didn’t eat it all that often growing up.  Maybe because it was such a treat and not a...

I don’t even know who won the election. I stayed up with the kadults until nearly midnight, but finally had to call it a night and go to bed.  I only looked at my phone to turn off my alarm this morning, so I’ll wait a while longer to see who won.  Ignorance is bliss, right? It only took me 5 minutes to vote.  I...

I had to laugh when I was waiting for the train yesterday to go to work.  It’s the middle of October, leaves are starting to change yet the weather was around 76 degrees.  I saw some women in sundresses and flip flops, while others had already made the fashion fall turn and were wearing UGG boots, sweaters and scarves. I ate a banana on my...

It’s the coldest it’s been all year, but I refuse to turn on the heat.  Had Tony still been alive the heat would have been on since about September 1 – even if we had day time temps in the 70s.  Right now the house is at 55 degrees, but I have a sweater on, fuzzy socks and a hot cup of coffee so I...

This is going to be a very disjointed post, so just be prepared I am blogging late because I slept in until the last dog was hung before having to get my ass out of bed to Weight Watchers, which I haven’t been to in the last three weeks.  My eats and schedule have been all over the map, and I am realizing that I...

One of the things I love about my new job is that I am trying new foods that I otherwise might have thought I hated.  When I first read the recipe for the corn and chive pudding before my cooking class last Friday night, I wasn’t sure I was going to like it.  First, it had chives in it, and you all know my aversion...

There is only one word to describe yesterday.  LAZY.  Hannah was off yesterday and while we thought we’d have our cleaning/laundry/productive pants on, turns out we had lay on the couch watching t.v. pants on until nearly 3 p.m.!  Normally on my days off of work I try to do so much, but I just felt like doing nothing with Hannah and it was glorious. ...

I realized I needed to use up some of the leftover pork roast from Labor Day, and what better use than to make breakfast taquitos!  Pretty sure I could eat any type of Mexican food any day or meal of the week and never get sick of it.  I used 3 Mission thin tortillas (4) and on the inside added 3 ounces of leftover pork...

It’s amazing when you have an organized pantry what you realize you have on hand.  I have no less than four cans of mandarin oranges, five cans of water chestnuts and six cans of tomato paste.  What I also found was a whole drawer full of red potatoes.  Thanks for doing such a great job organizing the pantry Hannah, I promise I’ll try to keep...

I hadn’t been to Weight Watchers in two weeks, so I had no idea how my weigh in was going to be.  Working two jobs last week every day meant my eating was all over the place.  Not that I ate bad necessarily, but there were times when I ate a late breakfast and lunch, and got home late and never ate anything for dinner...
