Do you think about cucumbers? Do you always have one in your fridge? Do you buy one every week? Do you name them? (Wait….we aren’t talking about people who really LOVE cucumbers.) I adore cucumbers especially on hot days. There is something about the crispness and the feel of their crunch that make me feel …

Your New Favorite Shrimp Pasta Salad
One of my favorite parts of summer is also one of my most dreaded parts of the summer. It isn’t the fact that we finally have beautiful sunshine and yet the afternoons are too steamy to go out. It isn’t the fact that our scenery in NW Indiana looks so amazing that our roads get …
Grand Theft Green Beans
I’m not sure where most of my readers live but this week has shown to be one of the most beautiful weeks here in NW Indiana. It is the magical kind of weather where it is cool enough to wear a sweatshirt but warm enough to toss on shorts. It is sunny enough that you …
This is the Dawning of The Age of Asparagus
Is it worth it? Do you ever think that? Eat another piece of cake? Is it worth the calories? (YES….it is cake….life is short.) Go to the fancy restaurant? Is it worth the extra money to eat off little plates decorated like pieces of artwork? (YES….because usually pretty food is delicious food.) Eat the spring asparagus? Is it …
Good-Bye to The Middle (And Some Great Mac & Cheese)
What does television mean to you? Are you one of those people who has favorite programs? Can you watch a series over and over again because you enjoy the characters so much? I probably have watched more than my fair share of TV but in my mind….I didn’t just watch….I was part of the cast. …

Have an Olive Day
One of the best things about blogging about food is that there are opportunities to learn around every corner. It doesn’t always have to be about food, it can also give you an experience to learn a little bit about yourself by meeting legends in the industry. On Tuesday, May 8, 2018, I was invited …
Cliche Lemonade
When does a saying turn into a cliché? I never realized that “clichés” were frowned upon. I have a bone to pick with the people who are on the anti-cliché wagon. I thought there was no time like the present to publicly support these taboo sayings. It actually makes me feel like I have …
Frico-ing Out Over My Great Ham & Cheese
Do you ever eat something and then become obsessed? Maybe you go eat it multiple times. Maybe you use the google to find out recipes or restaurants that you can find it at. Maybe you dream about it and wake up with your pillow in your mouth. (My husband wakes up that way sometimes…..but it …
BS Birthday Blog (Brussels Sprouts Birthday)
I had an epiphany last week. I seem to have a lot of them lately. They are true lightbulb moments that I sometimes look up to see if a lightbulb just flashed over my head. I’m wondering if epiphanies come with age or I need maybe I just need to be medicated. (Now I’m thinking of one …
