I always wonder how people discover new recipes. Do you just wing it? Copy from your favorite restaurant? Follow a blogger? (Or at least follow a blogger when she is actually cooking and not whining about her chronic illness…by the way…thanks for all of the support this past week!) I kind of do all of …

Playing Around With a Pumpkin Mousse
Life is a like a playground. You can swing up high and feel like nothing can touch you. Or you can swing and jump off when life gets too scary. You can make the choice to only go down the slide that is straight and narrow so you know what awaits you at the bottom …
Bon Appétit Cook the Cover October
When I received this month’s Bon Appétit, I was so excited to see a pizza on the cover. It was going to be a breeze to knock this cover out and keep my resolution of cooking every cover this year. (And I would be lying if I said I wasn’t scared at what the holiday …
Using My Noodle
Know what I hate? (Besides rainy days and Mondays, they always get me down.) Sticky noodles!!!! Have you ever had this problem? (By noodle I am talking about pasta/macaroni not some other kind of weird noodle you may have in mind.) The ol’ hubster (and his noodle) were gone somewhere last weekend and I was …
Potatoes Au Gratin…More Fun than a Barrel of Monkeys
I am so happy it is October!!! September was exhausting and more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Wait…is a barrel of monkeys fun?

August Bon Appetit Cook the Cover
There are many reasons why I love the month of August. First and most importantly, it is the month my beloved husband was born. He definitely makes my world a better place. (Um, do those sweet words count as a birthday gift?) I also love August because kids start going back to school and my …
The V Word
Sometimes when you write a blog, you have to talk about uncomfortable subjects. I dread having to write these types of posts but alas it is just a subject I can’t avoid much longer. I’m talking about the “V” word. Sigh. I’m not sure why I have such a hard time saying it. It is …
Sandwich Acronyms
I was working in my garden this week trying to find the perfect tomato for a BLT. Okay, it was the ONLY tomato in my garden that was willing to sacrifice its life for my sandwich. (Mother Nature continues to play havoc on my garden this year.) As I plucked this bright red beauty from …
July Bon Appetit Cook the Cover
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 …
