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 …

Chicken
Chilly Weather Chicken Chili
If you live in the Midwest, there is one thing you are talking about right now…the weather. I don’t know why it surprises us every year because the same thing happens EVERY year. Winter comes. We all say to each other what a mild winter it has been so far. We talk of how it …
Mushroom Soup Resolution
It is the second week of the year and I am always curious how people approach their New Year’s resolutions at this point. Have you even started yet? Or have you already given up? For a couple of reasons, there are some resolutions that I NEVER make such as losing weight (have you seen me?), …
“Greek Chicken” from the Box
The recipe box. Do people actually have these anymore? Or are they obsolete because of computers and smart technology? (I don’t own any smart technology but I am assuming if it is so smart it would have recipes loaded on it.) I was cleaning one of my kitchen cabinets and found my cute little recipe …
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”. …
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 …
A Story with “Morels”
Once upon a time there was nice young (age is relative) blogger who started a vegetable garden in her yard. It wasn’t a big garden but it was enough to keep her away from her computer for the last week. She looked at her calendar and said, “Oh my, I need to write a blog.” …
Comfort Food: Asian Noodle Stir-Fry
To continue on with some of my previous discussions about comfort food, I have to talk about noodles today….Asian noodles. A meal in one bowl (and you have to eat them in a bowl), Asian noodles offer a versatile option for dinner (or lunch or snack.) You can get all of your protein, veggies and …
Throw Me Some Beads?
As much as I have been enjoying my “Foodie Fun Days,” I will have to admit that I miss personal time cooking in my own kitchen. (My husband is missing it too.). I am having a challenge keeping up with seasonality and miscellaneous holidays. (Groundhog Day, Lincoln’s Birthday, Spay Your Dog Day, Etc.) For example, …
Lettuce Wrap About the Super Bowl
Are you ready for some football? (Um, not really.) Super Bowl XLVI will be played on February 5 in Indianapolis Indiana. It should be a great game between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots given the amazing season both teams had this year. (Okay, I have no clue how their year went …
