I have never had the cleaning skills as my daughter Hannah.  My Mom and I joke that I don’t know how Hannah came out of me because I was the kid whose room looked like a tornado went through it.  It could be like that for months until I couldn’t stand it anymore and then would do a clean sweep.  It may have lasted a...

It was 47 degrees yesterday morning when I got up – love!!  Just something about crisp cool air and I am a happy camper.  And right now as I type this?  It’s 35 degrees!  Okay, that may be a bit too chilly for me this early in September, but we’ll end up in the upper 60s today. More breakfast casserole for me!  This time with...

I talked to Charlie!  Every time I had called he was sleeping.  I called my Mom and started to talk to her and I heard my brother in the background say “I have cancer.”  You have to know Charlie personally, but he was saying it in a funny voice and it made me laugh. He sounded tired.  His main complaints are the awful, constant bad...

Thanks for all your comments on my Guy Fieri Halloween costume.  I’ve done famous chefs three years in a row and am stumped on who I should be next year – let me know if you have any ideas! 😀 I still had leftover roast beef, so I made a hash – 3 oz. roast beef, baby spinach, roasted red pepper, 2 eggs, 1/2 ounce...

I think you guys know I like pizza.  A lot.  When I was foraging through my fridge to come up with breakfast yesterday morning, I realized I still had some artisan bread leftover from my rosemary bread I made over the weekend. Don’t really need to twist my arm too much to fix pizza – and there is really nothing “breakfasty” about this – not...

What a wonderful weekend we had.  The weather was amazing, and I was really bizzy in my kitchen this weekend. I forgot to tell you yesterday that the flea market we went to on Saturday was pretty gross – I mean like worse than some garage sales.  But I did get a new fish spatula and some Greek seasonings, but other than that it was...

Since I’ve had this blog over two and a half years, I am constantly finding new blogs to read and then quickly add them to my blog roll so I know where to find them again.  Yes, I am still one of those people who has yet to set up Google Reader – so my blog roll is a quick and easy way for me to check up...

Tony and I had the best early Valentine’s dinner.  We’ve only dined out on V-day once and vowed never to do it again.  I found a cool restaurant, but what they failed to mention was that their Valentine dinner was pre fix, no substitutions and . . . $100 per person, without drink! We almost walked out right then and there but we stayed.  It...

Best Shrimp Cocktail Ever Reason 1,001 I love my husband!  Holy cow, he made the best shrimp cocktail ever – I have ever had INCLUDING RESTAURANTS!  But you’ll just have to read through my post to get there! Reason 1,002, 1,003, and 1,004 reasons I also love my husband: 1,002:  He took me to a restaurant supply store! 1,003:  He took me to the Japanese...

It was raining outside, so that meant the grills were out of play.  Well, I could have used the gas grill, but I would have been really wet!  I love cooking with Tony, but our kitchen is so tiny for the two of us.  We managed to tag team to put this meal together in about 20 minutes from beginning to end – not too...
