When my husband and I lived in Chicago, we’d drive to the north side of the city to have a fantastic rib dinner. They served this cole slaw that was to die for (and I’m not much of a cole slaw fan), cheesy potatoes, and of course a big ol’ slab of ribs that would [...]
Appetizers on a stick… what could be easier? Well the easiest thing is to have your Mother in Law help with skewering… but I do believe that even without a helpful Mother in Law, this is a pretty easy appetizer to whip together. And, talk about pretty!!! I think it was just gorgeous. Both adults [...]
I was going to blog my dinner from Wednesday night, but it was inedible. Seriously.. not a single one of us would eat it. It was that bad. Yep, that happens sometimes when trying out recipes. Some just don’t turn out. C’est la vie! Now this recipe is the complete opposite of Wednesday’s. I wanted [...]
Ok, I know, I’ve been MIA… I have no excuse other than being busy. By the time I would get dinner on the table, I would forget to get the camera out. But, I told myself “No More Excuses!” and managed to photograph this one last night. I love the “Weeknight Cooking” section of Food [...]
Well we finally got the snow that we’ve been lacking this winter season. My son is thrilled and looking forward to some sledding. I, however, am already in “bring me some spring” mode, and could care less about the snow. That being said, however, I did purchase an abnormally large sled today simply due to [...]
Whew, I’m pooped. Ok, one should probably not write “poop” in a blog about food, but that pretty much sums it up. It’s been a busy weekend with the kids and now, Sunday night, I’m trying to catch up on the million-things-I-didn’t-get-done. But, it was a fun one for sure, and definitely worth it. I’ve [...]
I haven’t made many of Giada’s recipes lately. I found them either to be too complex for a simple dinner, or a bit on the heavy side. Her last episode, however, featured easy weeknight meals. I decided to make a few of them right away. This one was awesome! The topping would be good on [...]
When I was working with an hour commute each way, I was constantly looking for fast weeknight meals. Funny, now with two kids instead of one, I’m also looking for fast weeknight meals! I saw this on an episode of Giada at Home and decided right away to make it. I already had instant polenta [...]
What a busy day. Today was my son’s last day at “daycare” (sort of pre-preschool). He starts preschool (gulp!) next Friday. I love walking him to & from his current school, so this morning we set off on foot. He fell, scratched his knee, bleeding… so we hobbled home to mend his wound. He still [...]
I was going to make the title official and name the Israeli Couscous Tabouli and Creamy White Bean Yogurt Sauce… but good lord that’s a mouthful. And personally, if the title of the recipe is so long, I’m not sure I’d even want to start reading the list of ingredients to make it. I’m a [...]
