I want to apologize for slowing down on my posts the last few weeks. I have a confession to make….I can’t stand food right now! My Crohn’s is acting up and with that food has become an enemy to me and I just don’t want to think about it. (I now know how Superman felt …

More Rockin’ Chicken
I am not hip. By using the word “hip”, you probably already knew that fact. I have reached an age where I am content not incorporating new sayings into my everyday conversations. I, on the other hand, have almost regressed to the catchy phrases from my youth like “groovy”, “fer sure” and the occasional “dude”. …
Bacon Buttered Potatoes
The summer of 2012 will probably remind most people of the events of the Olympics in London, women’s boxing and Michael Phelps, (Okay, I personally am not a big Olympics viewer so that’s all I’ve got on that topic.) The summer 2012 will mean something completely different to me. This is the summer of the …
One to Watch: Red Butter
Passionate. Indulgence. When you hear those words what comes to your mind? Family? Work? Food? Well apparently those two words mean a lot to Chef Monica Sharma of Red Butter in Chicago. I first heard of Red Butter this past spring when I went to Baconfest. Their dish, bacon-Thai chile gulab jamun with bacon pistachio …
Executive Blackberry-Ginger Lemonade
My life is full of executive decisions. I am in charge the massive empire known as my household. (Not really massive or empire-ish but I do live in a world of make believe half the time so play along with me.) The decisions that keep this well running machine going are numerous and at times …
BLT (Bacon, Leek and Tomato) Pot Pie
It is always by the end of July that I start craving winter comfort foods. I’m not sure if I’ve gone crazy from the heat. (Yes, the heat will be my excuse for insanity.) Or maybe I am just tired of eating summer meals like salads, grilled proteins and popcorn. (I’m not sure if popcorn …
Foodie Fun Day #21: RA Sushi NEW MENU
Dilemma. I love sushi. (Okay, that is not a dilemma.) The problem is that not all of my friends love sushi. (They have other redeeming qualities.) So every time I leave my small town, I want to go to a sushi restaurant and they don’t. Well thanks to RA Sushi’s new updated menu, I will …
Powerful Lobster Roll (On a no power day)
Am I the only one who keeps hearing about Lobster Rolls? It is not like they are a new food item because they have been around since the 1970’s. (I don’t know that for a fact, I was an infant and that was the rumor around the playpen.) It just seems to be the sandwich …
Yes, I Can!
Watching the vines grow, I look at my cute little vegetable garden and think of so many things. First, I find it quite beautiful with its different shades of green leaves growing larger and more radiant daily. The colors have expanded recently to include bright hues of reds and oranges on my tomatoes and peppers. …
My First Meatless Monday
I always find it interesting to find back-stories about food “trends.” I never 100% know who is telling the whole truth but it is always interesting to read what is out there on the Web. (Because if it is on the Web we know it is the truth, right?) So when one of my readers …
