Okay, so maybe I set the bar too high for myself, this being the first time cooking food in a pressure cooker.  I’ve only ever canned in a pressure cooker, but we had gone through several recipes and techniques and settled on one that used the least amount of oil (at least that’s what I was looking at!) 😀 So after the overnight soak in...

Holy Wow was this good!!   When Hannah was driving us to meet my mom on Sunday, I grabbed a Food and Wine magazine from November that I hadn’t finished reading.  Yep, too many magazines and not enough time to read them!  This recipe caught my eye immediately.  While I don’t like fresh raw cauliflower (like on a veggie tray) I love it cooked.  I’ve made...

To leave a comment for my giveaway!  The winner will be picked tomorrow!

So Tony and I went back and forth with over fried chicken recipes, and we finally decided to go with a Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe.  The secret to that recipe was soaking the chicken in buttermilk.  So I bought some on the way home and we are going to marinate the chicken and have it tomorrow night.  Should be good! So on to Plan B! ...

Hannah and I have clearly decided that we much prefer baby spinach to curly spinach.  So with a fresh bag in the fridge, and leftover bread I decided to make pizza for lunch.  Only one problem – I didn’t bring flour or have a rolling pin to roll out the dough!  But having a kitchen at work that has a wine chiller (for work parties)...

Happy Monday!  While it is sunny out it is so COLD!   I had to scrape snow off of the car this morning too!   Hello, its March!  But it always reminds me when I had Hannah.  17 years ago yesterday I had Hannah’s baby shower and it was 70 degrees, we had the windows open, it was beautiful!  She was born on March 7 and we...

So this weeks BSI ingredient was a lot easier to work with, simply because I like it!  That being said, I decided that I was going to come up with a recipe using only ingredients I had on hand.  Easier said than done!  Well, when I saw these guys, this was ingredient #1:         Chipotle Pepper Black Bean Potato Salad 15 ounces...

Wow, I always forget how busy Sweet Tomatoes gets!  We actually had to wait about 10 minutes just to get a table!  And my deluxe coupon (buy one, order two drinks, one meal is free) was only good Monday through Thursdays.  Oh well! And I forgot my memory card in my computer at home, so my photos are VERY limited!  I have no idea how many...

I slept in today and it felt GREAT!  I didn’t get out of bed until 9:15!  And while its sunny outside, its still cold!  Spring, where are you?? So today Hannah and I are meeting my Mom at Sweet Tomatoesfor lunch.  We love that place – Hannah especially loves their green tea mousse – have you ever been there?  I love all things soup!  So...
