I am a VERY methodical person. I like to plan and be organized. I feel accomplished just by having a plan and sticking to it. The problem is that they often go wonky. An example would be Halloween this year. My plan was to get some chili on the stove early, volunteer at the elementary …

Red Gold Summer Grillin’ Party II
Where are my tomatoes??? This summer has been so cold that my tomatoes are JUST starting to surface. I think I’ve picked a pint of grape tomatoes and that is about it. . (I mean seriously, it was in the 50’s at one point yesterday….during the day…when the sun is out!!!) My stash of canned …
Curry Worries
Do you every get that feeling that you are getting too big for your britches? (Do you ever really use the word britches in a sentence?) This winter has made me feel that way literally and figuratively. Literally…I am TOO big for my britches and can honestly say my pants are too tight. Apparently the …
My First Festivus
Are you happy that the holidays are over? I am. To put it mildly, I was a super sourpuss this year. Was it because I was naughty and I knew Santa would be skipping my chimney this year? Noooo. Was it because I have Scrooge genes coursing through my blood? Noooo. (Okay, there is a …
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 …
Meet Jack Sprat
“Jack Sprat could eat no fat. His wife could eat no lean. And so between them both, you see, They licked the platter clean.” No other nursery rhyme could fit my household better. My husband is not a picky eater by any means. He is quite adventurous when it comes to food and cooking for …
Meatballs…the Memory
Meatballs. Did you ever see that movie from 1979? I wasn’t feeling well the other day and it was on one of the “classic” movie channels. (I always feel old when movies I grew up with end up on the classic channels.) I couldn’t resist cuddling up in my woobie and watching the whole thing. …
March Away Winter Chili
Neighbors. Love them or hate them, they are part of your life. I am VERY fortunate to be surrounded by one of the best groups of neighbors a gal could ever ask for. (This is the part that I am buttering them up because I am posting one of their recipes.) We are a multifaceted …
Red Carpet Veal Oscar
I’d like to thank the academy for this opportunity to write about the Oscar’s on my blog. A foodblog isn’t a place you would normally go to read about movies and today is no different! I am not a huge “moviegoer”. Sitting multiple hours in those uncomfortable seats really makes me antsy. I inhale popcorn …
My Crowning Glory-Beef Wellington
I know everyone probably has had their fill about the royal wedding today between Prince William and Kate Middleton. I, personally, was getting annoyed with the news programs inundating us with every microscopic detail. I think the only thing they didn’t cover were the style and color of her bloomers. But I confess, the first …
