Good morning and happy Saturday! We got to sleep in until a whopping 7 am here today, so I’m energized. My parents are coming to visit for a few hours and I’m actually in the process of making Mini Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches for everyone to snack on later this afternoon. I still love that recipe. [...]
Comfort… that’s what I need right now. We’ve been passing illnesses around the house and I have finally taken down by it. I’ve got a miserable sinus infection and a very attractive double case of pink eye. Ah yes, as if I needed something else to make me feel pretty in the last trimester of [...]
Well, I met a fellow “foodie” at work the other day… while at lunch (how appropriate). It was fun to talk to someone who collects recipes as well, and doesn’t stare at you as if you have a few extra heads when you tell them that. I sent her a link to my blog and [...]
Meatless Monday… it’s a novel thought. I guess I don’t eat enough veggies… I sure do eat cheese though. It’s a shame they don’t push cheesey…ch… well some day should start in “ch”. Anyway, enough of my feable attempt at humor, let’s get on to the recipe. On Monday I tried to make a meatless [...]
This recipe couldn’t have been simpler, and boy was it ever good. Sometimes I feel like I look for these complicated recipes, when the simple ones are the ones that get the rave reviews.

How have I not blogged this yet?? I haven’t been cooking many new meals lately since my son has been sick, so I thought I’d look through my cookbook to see if I could blog one of those recipes. I have no clue why I didn’t blog this one sooner. My sister-in-law gave me [...]
Ok yes, there’s been a lack of posts the past few days. My son had a horrid bout of stomach flu and we’ve been on sick-kid-duty for days. My husband and I were joking that the world could have ended outside and we wouldn’t have known it. All of the plans for the weekend were [...]
Well, I did it again. I was at a restaurant, ordered something unique, and found myself on a mission to recreate it at home. My family and I went to our local restaurant called That Little Mexican Cafe. Not only do they have the best grilled scallop appetizer that even my son loves, but they [...]
How I love fondue. It started when I was young, my Mom would make it on special occasions. There’d be the giant bowl of sirloin, and all of the dipping sauces, and a big fondue pot full of peanut oil bubbling away. When I moved to Chicago, my fiance and I (now husband, of course) [...]
