Every summer I have one conversation with my friends that seems to last at least two months. You would think it would be about the hot weather but it’s not. We talk about blueberries! (Oh no, another post about blueberries.) Apparently when there is an option to go out and pick blueberries everyone feels the …
Bacon Vacation
August is almost here and that means one thing to a lot of people….vacation. Fortunately for me, a lot of my friends consider coming to my house a vacation! (If you ever have seen my house, you would realize William Shatner couldn’t get them a great deal anywhere better so they had to come here.) …
Yam Good, Sweet Potato Fries
Everyone has a guilty food pleasure…..or two. It usually is something that we know is bad for us but we indulge and eat it anyway. One of my guilty pleasures is French fries. I love to go on errands and grab some fries as my energy booster. The thought of the salty starch combination makes …
Berry Fun Lemonade
I did something last night that I’ve never done before. I was shocked at how much I enjoyed it. It was sweet and tart all at the same time. The best part was that it was a woman responsible for my pleasure! I’m sure you have guessed by now, I now have new favorite lemonade. …
Me So Corny
When I see it, I become distracted. They come in various sizes and colors. I’ve seen them long and thin and short and fat. I’ll even admit that I just love to put my mouth on one. So do you like fresh corn off the cob as much as I do? One of the best …
Ice Scream, You Scream?
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream? I’ve never fully understood that little saying. Who screams for ice cream? I know if I had ever screamed for ice cream my parents would not have rewarded me with it. I would have been told I didn’t need anymore sugar and that I needed …
The 3 Little Piggies Burger
Once upon a time, there were three little chefs who were ready to test their cooking skills in their own restaurant. Before they went out on their venture, their mother said “Whatever you do, make the most unique burger so everyone keeps coming back because that is the only way you will survive in this …
Red, White and Blueberry
Did your mom ever make a recipe that you didn’t care for as a kid but now as an adult you are kicking yourself for not eating it? The dish that always comes to mind for me is my mom’s blueberry coffee cake. It really was a silly thing to dislike. It was cake for …
Gotta Try Thai Gai
A few years ago, I took a class on Thai cooking. My main goal was to come out of the class with a masterful knowledge of Pad Thai, my favorite dish. We don’t have anything close to Thai food in my small town and I really wanted to know how to satisfy my cravings. The …
Lettuce Be Friends
I asked my husband the other night what he wanted for dinner. The only thing that sounded good to him was a salad. He didn’t want a salad so he could watch his waistline. He wanted a manly salad that filled his belly. It had to be chock full of meats, veggies and cheeses. The …
