Yes, you guessed it from the title… the menu tonight is Frog Legs. No, I’m not crazy, I’m from northwest Indiana! When I was a kid, every Friday night my Nana, Grandpa, and Uncle would head to the local golf course restaurant for lake perch, frog legs, & french fries. It was all-you-can-eat and a [...]

Well, you might be expecting a great recipe and a picture tonight, but I don’t think it’ll happen. It’s not because what I’m making isn’t good… it is… but it’s not very, um, photogenic. But I will describe it since it’s a family favorite on both sides. My parents have made their own sauerkraut for [...]

This morning I woke up on the wrong side of the bed – early, tired, and cranky. After some work on the job-hunt, I decided on breakfast. According to Mark Twain, a good breakfast makes things better, so that was my goal. Now, I’ve always been the person that orders my eggs over-hard at a [...]

My mom has been raving about this simple recipe for ages, so tonight that’s what we’re having. She used to serve it over pasta, but now loves it with french green beans, or broccoli. I’m going to serve ours with the beans since I have some in the freezer. Chicken TetrazziniServes 4WW points 7 2 [...]

The initial plan was to go to the store today and buy steaks, or lobster, and other fancy things for dinner. However, it feels like we’ve been running nonstop, so today has been spent mainly on the couch. We did make it to church, but that was the only outing, and I don’t mind it [...]

I think that I’m busier now that I’m unemployed. I’m trying to get all of these little chores done around the house, all while treating my job-hunt as a full-time job. Today I had a resume writing class online, followed by an interview (Yay!), and after that I decided to randomly make & freeze potstickers. [...]

Tonight I’m making another one of Melissa D’Arabian’s recipes from the food network. The last time I made it, it made about 5 servings. Her original recipe says 4, but we had so much leftover I think it was a bit much for each serving. So here’s the recipe and tonight I’ll update with pictures [...]

To lift my spirits a bit today, and enjoy the time with my son, I took a break from resumes, applications, and job-hunting for an hour to bake some cookies. I had everything in the house to make these sugar cookies so I did. Simple Sugar Cookies 2 3/4 c flour1 tsp baking soda1/2 tsp [...]

Tonight I made 2 recipes from Melissa D’Arabian’s show “Ten Dollar Dinners”. I saw the show today and happened to have almost everything to make it. I only had to pick up a bottle of white wine (wine doesn’t last long in my house….), and a zucchini. I used tilapia as she stated in the [...]

Ok, so here are a few pics. No, they’re not perfect but I like them! Here’s the smokie fondue… And here is a picture of the wings..
