Do you ever have a thought in your head that is REALLY random? I mean, there is nooooo reason whatsoever for this thought, it just pops in your head. This thought is so random that you spend countless minutes, maybe even hours, thinking about this particular topic. Yankee Doodle. Yep, that was my thought the other …

Ice: It’s What’s For Dinner
I’m sick. Not the “head cold, I get to stay home sick” but the “time to go to the hospital sick.” I was really trying not to post on it because I was hoping it would magically go away. (I also believe in unicorns just so you understand what is real to me.) I haven’t …
The Grid: A Foodie Fun Day
Last week for my birthday, I received a wonderful gift. A magic wand! My wand, like most cool magical items, had a list of rules and regulations. (I hate magic wand red tape.) One rule was that I could only use one wish a month. (It did not say anything about rollover wishes so I …
Not a Scary Sandwich
The last few weeks my creativity in the kitchen has been on a spring break. It was a calm spring break so there is no fear that my creative side will end up in another scandal on the Internet. (Wait, did she say another?) My creative side has allowed some of my old stand-bys take …
My Birthday Post
Thank you to everyone who has been writing in about the loss of my dog. I just got into the kitchen a couple of days ago and will do a recipe post early next week. Every year on my birthday, I take a moment to sit down and write about the previous year and take …
Taking a week or so off
My Dear Readers: I wanted to let you know why I haven’t written anything new over the past week. My dog died. It is that simple or maybe not so simple. Shadoe was our 14.5 year old German Shep/Lab. My husband gave her to me on our first married Christmas. She has been my faithful …
Souper DILL-ema
Happy Easter!!! I’m sure many of you have spent the day working hard in your kitchens making your family’s favorite holiday meal. (Or if you don’t celebrate Easter, you enjoyed the crowdless malls and movie theatres!) Either way, Monday is right around the corner and it is time to figure out something easy to make …
Deviled Eggs in a Pickle
Don’t you hate you go to your favorite blog (moi?) and the writer isn’t writing about the intended topic. It’s like a quilting blog only talking about their garden, or maybe a golfer talking about hiking or how about a foodie talking about how she can’t eat and doesn’t want to cook because she has …
Food on a Stick Day 2013
Happy first day of Spring!! It is a glorious sun-shiny 20 degrees here in the Midwest today. Brrrr! It is hard to think of spring menus but I’ll do my best especially with the big holiday around the corner. To me it should be one of the biggest holidays of the year but like most …
It’s Not Easy Cleaning Green
Thought I should jump online and thank you for the support I’ve received in the past week. Between your encouragement and the sunshine from an upcoming spring, I feel healthier already. Since I haven’t been able to think about food this past week, I started thinking about chores outside of the kitchen. To my husband’s …
