As soon as I saw this recipe I KNEW it was going on our menu ASAP as one of our Meatless Monday meals. Susan from Our Kitchen Inventions shared it at my Linky Party and it was love at first site. Then I fell in love all over again once I tasted it. If you […]
I guess last week I wasn’t quite sure what to do. I’ve participated in a few Linky Parties in the past, even hosted my own, but have just recently put a serious effort in to them and started a focused participation. As a new blogger, when I got featured last week, I was excited as […]
A few weeks ago when I posted the first installment of our Old School Easter Ham I mentioned having too much pineapple when I got around to putting the ham together. I said I would post about *why* in another post but decided not to. The reason is because I accidentally left the pineapple out […]
My Internet Explorer browser quit playing nice with WordPress a few days ago so I’ve been out of the loop. I switched over to Firefox and can finally “see” you all again! I’ve got some catching up to do but here’s my Friday post. The big box store came out with another coupon book […]
I pull this one out every once in a while when I don’t feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen. Or when we can’t get to the grill because this is happening… Our grill is in a covered area of our porch but when it’s raining small domestic animals and the wind […]
Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? Can you hear me? Yeah, you in the back. You can hear me? Good because this is important and you don’t want to miss it. First, I’m sorry to say I may not ever feature another Fish Taco recipe on my blog. Second, if you like Southwest, Tex-Mex flavor […]
It’s been a while since I’ve done this but I’ve found some other blogs that do something similar so I’ll be bringing this back each week so I can link up and participate with them. After spending several weeks focusing mainly on ingredients I had in the fridge and freezers, Mr. Foodie and I put […]
Still working off what I have available in the house since I didn’t shop last week I decided to use some leftover ham from the freezer. I started off with one idea, went to another, then another until eventually I ended up with a culinary creation that could have the world’s longest name. Meet The […]
Don’t you just love the blogging community or what? Almost everyone I’ve come across has been so kind in accepting and appreciating comments I’ve left for them while also being generous and supportive of my posts. Blogging and sharing recipes and photos of my cooking has been a wonderful creative outlet for me and a great way to “meet” some […]
I never made it to the grocery store last Friday so I thought I’d take care of it Saturday morning. This is what it looked like from the minute I woke up until the time I went to bed… ALL. DAY. LONG. Matter of fact that picture was taken sometime between 3 and 4 in […]

So many of you are starting your spring gardens or potting up various veggie plants. I’m so envious. In the spring of 2010 Mr. Foodie and I broke ground on our garden area. We thought it was important to be in a position where we could produce at least a portion of our own food for […]
It’s a Recipe Linky Party and I’d love to have you join in the fun and spread the word to any of your other favorite food bloggers. Linky Parties are a great way to find other great blogs and bloggers and they’re super easy to do. Since I’m a new blogger and this is my […]
I saw these on Pinterest a few months ago and knew immediately they were going to make a presence on our Easter table. They were just TOO cute! Easter Devilled Eggs, adapted from FOODjimoto 1 dozen eggs (I always boil a few extra in case some of the shells don’t peel off nicely and to make […]
You can read about our Easter Glazed Ham with Pineapple and Cherries here and Part 1 of our sides, Traditional Sweet Potato Casserole here. Still keeping with my theme of using primarily what I had on hand for our dinner I knew I had a cauliflower in the crisper drawer that still hadn’t found a purpose […]
On April 4th The Ranting Chef bestowed upon me the Very Inspiring Blogger Award in the comment section of my About Justa Page. Thank you again RC for the recognition and choosing me for this particular award and my contribution to keeping the blogosphere a beautiful place! The reason I didn’t post about it right away […]
This is the second installment of our Frugal Easter Dinner. You can read the intro and about the Glazed Ham with Pineapple and Cherries here. Sweet Potatoes, in any fashion, rarely, if ever, made a presence on any of our tables, much less a holiday table, when I was growing up. I have no idea why. […]
Two things defined my menu for our Easter dinner this year. Use what I have on hand, as much as possible and go traditional. I bought the spiral sliced ham on clearance after Christmas last year and had it in the deep freeze waiting for this meal. In the early phases of planning I was debating on […]
