Summer to me is lazy days, hot temperatures, fans blowing the hot air around and walks to the lake with my boys (and new girl) to go fishing for perch and small mouth bass. Sometimes we are even graced by the presence of a delicious rainbow trout, but mostly,with this heat, they stay away. It amazes me […]
What? Still pregnant? Yes that’s right….it’s still in there and it’s never coming out. Please don’t ask me if I’ve had the baby yet, or when it’s coming. Please don’t give me any of your well-meaning advice on how to get the baby out, I know them all and I’ve tried just about every one

The time has come to give up my kitchen. Not that I’m complaining anymore. Usually, when we have company over and people offer to help me, the words barely register before I politely decline their friendly “interference”.

It’s been a few days. I’ve been in a food coma, and I’ve just woken up for a brief spell to tell you all about it before I dive back into another round tonight. Birthdays were always about food. Just like most holidays around the world, at least part of the celebration is centered on

It’s a busy time in the household this week. As the weather gets better, we are spending more time in our fledgling garden, learning as we go how things need to be done. It’s quite the trial and error system, but it’s the best way for us to learn. This will be our second garden

I’m still not much for words right now, so I will leave you with a dish that I consider “ultimate” comfort food. To me, comfort food fits into two main categories, pub food like wings, burgers and fries and one dish meals, easily made at home. This is an at home variety. It can be
Sometimes I feel pretty lazy. On top of running around with my own toddler, I also watch another little girl three days a week. On top of those two crazy tornadoes, there’s also laundry, endless dishes, cleaning, writing, photographing and too much useless internet surfing to mention. There’s also the newly arrived protruding belly getting

I promised pizza, and I always follow through with what I say. That being said, this is not a healthy pizza, nor is it a traditional or otherwise special pizza. This is pizza you make for yourself and your family when you really want a good tasting pizza crust and no added costs for delivery

Mexican food. What do those words conjure up for you? To me it means avocados, corn tortillas, limes, salt, tequila and meat. I’ve never really had a bad experience with Mexican food, save for all those awful hangovers from tequila. Even on trips to Mexico, I’ve never been disappointed. I think the only time may
