It is the end of the month which can only mean one thing….it is time to cook the cover of Bon Appetit! July’s issue may be my favorite issue so far this year. It wasn’t that I was completely enamored with the cover recipe (Mint and Cumin Spiced Lamb Chops). I like lamb chops but …

Red Gold Summer Grillin’ Party II
Where are my tomatoes??? This summer has been so cold that my tomatoes are JUST starting to surface. I think I’ve picked a pint of grape tomatoes and that is about it. . (I mean seriously, it was in the 50’s at one point yesterday….during the day…when the sun is out!!!) My stash of canned …
Where Do Chicken Babies Come From?
It is that time of year….deviled egg season. When I started to create this year’s variations, I had to admit something to myself. I don’t know where chicken babies come from. One of our friends brought me 2 dozen beautiful, fresh farm eggs. Talk about authentic…they still had hay and poop on them! (The poop …
ABC’s of Winter Colds
How many people are tired of me talking about the weather? How many people are tired of EVERYONE talking about the weather? It seems like in the Midwest that we all have tunnel vision during the first couple months of the year. In our defense, we don’t only talk about the snow. We talk about …
Don’t Squash Your Inspirations Without Trying Them
I have received a few emails asking me about my health since my surgery this past spring. (I have ignored the requests to post pictures of me in a hospital gown.) My life with Crohn’s will and always has been a battle but I am doing better. I would be happier if I could gain …
A Toast to My Husband
For anyone who has followed my blog over the past 2 and half years, you know that I poke some fun at my husband, Earl, on a regular basis. I will admit that there are times I exaggerate his buffoonery and antics. (The scary thing is that there are a lot times I’m not!) Well …
We Are Like Chickpeas on a Pan
The idiom “like two peas in a pod” can reference a lot of people in my life. I don’t think it would be too hard to fit into a pod with me. I have a lot of interests like dogs, crafts and cooking. (I even have some interests that you may not know about yet.) …
Deviled Eggs in a Pickle
Don’t you hate you go to your favorite blog (moi?) and the writer isn’t writing about the intended topic. It’s like a quilting blog only talking about their garden, or maybe a golfer talking about hiking or how about a foodie talking about how she can’t eat and doesn’t want to cook because she has …
Sunshiney Tuna Tartare
I miss brightness in the winter. I don’t necessarily mean the beaming sun. (I do miss it a little.) And I am not referring to intelligence but I do think we get stupider this time of year. (Wait, stupider is not a word but it does prove a point. Or is it word?) I’m talking …
Oscar Worthy Risotto
The Oscar’s are tomorrow and my mind is wondering what the attendees do on the day before. (Okay, imagine squiggly lines like we are going into a dream sequence.) My Oscar dress is hanging on the door and my jewelry is laid out on my dresser. (I decided to use my own jewelry instead of …
