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 …

Summer Lovin’ (And Chicken too)
There are a lot of reasons why I especially love this time of year. Part of the reason is the warming weather and the gorgeous, glowing sun. It is the greenness of the trees and the clearness of the blue sky. Mostly it is because 17 years ago I fell in love with my husband …
She Sells Stuffed Shells….
“She sells seashells on the seashore. The shells she sells are surely seashells. So, if she sells shells on the seashore, I’m sure she sells seashore shells.” I don’t know why this tongue twister keeps going around in my head. (Actually, I didn’t even know the last 3 lines until I looked them up.) I …
National Grilled Cheese Month
Hooray! It is starting to feel like spring. The birds are chirping like crazy, the grass is greening up and rumor has it there are some baby bunnies hopping around our neighborhood. (I can’t wait to see the bunnies!) Another big sign of spring is seeing all the stuff you should have gotten done around …
Luck O’ The Leftovers
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Did you get your fill of corned beef and cabbage? It seems like this year St. Patrick’s “Day” went on for weeks. People seemed to have started the o’chatter very early. (See how I added the o’ to make it more Irish?) I actually find the holiday really amusing because most …

Jamaican Me Twerk Chicken
I really try to think that I keep up with current events, trends and pop culture. But in all honesty, I know I am always a little bit behind what people are talking about at the water cooler. (Or do people just catch up holding their Nalgene bottles?) But there is one thing that I …
Girl On Grill Action
Let’s admit it ladies. We all know the men in our lives have fantasies. Some admit it with no hesitation but there are others who adamantly deny that anything like that ever goes on in their head. The real truth comes out when you say something to your spouse and he doesn’t hear you right. …
Just “Encase” You Want To Make Sausage
“I know a wiener man. He owns a wiener stand. He sells most everything from wieners on down. Some day I’ll join his life, I’ll be his wiener wife. Hot Dog, I love that wiener man.” Do you know that song? My sister worked at a camp one year when she was in college and …
Easy Breaded Pork Tenderloin
I think I told you once that I worked as a bench chemist in a small lab in Illinois. (I do have my degree so don’t try this at home!) A lot of my time was spent starting a reaction in the morning and then waiting for the right moments to add more ingredients chemicals. …
