Every month I get so excited about my next Secret Recipe Club assignment. Secret what? If you haven’t already heard about the club, it’s a club where bloggers are assigned another club member’s blog. The idea is to cook one of their recipes and post on reveal day. This is the brain child of Amanda […]
I’ve been a braisen fool the last month, our Daring Cooks Challenge this month inspired me to braise at least once a week. I posted about the challenge yesterday and featured my favorite recipe Spice-Braised Leg of Lamb with Lemon Preserve. But oh so close was the braised oxtail. My mom used to make oxtail […]
I think I may have over done this month’s Daring Cook’s Challenge! Carolyn, a non-blogger participant of The Daring Cooks challenged us this month to “Brave the Braise”. Carolyn shared with us what braising is: Traditional cooking methods may be classed as how heat is conducted through the food. First is moist heat (poaching, simmering, […]
I wear leather, ride Harleys and hang out in biker bars; I am a self professed rebel and have even been called a “badass” on more than one occasion. But I’m way more complicated than that; I watch Dr. Who and Star Trek, I loved chemistry and science in college and I ‘m definitely a […]

Sometimes it tough to think with family activities, the dogs, the TV blaring, the dishwasher and washer and dryer going..all that din one can hardly hear themselves to think. I think that is why my clever ideas most often come to me when I’m riding my bike or when I’m in the shower. The throaty […]
I am so not trendy, seems like when ever everybody is into something, I’m like, “meh”. Just look at my wardrobe… For example the whole five minute artisan bread, I didn’t post anything like that until this post in December. Here I go again… Last year the Charcuterie was all over the blogosphere, there were […]
Last week we started off our anniversary run, leaving from Washington State and heading to Illinois. McGyver and I had been separated for a year, this was our first ride together after way too long.
It was a lovely day in February, unusual for this time of year, especially in Montana. It was overcast, but I think the clouds were acting more like a warm blanket, keeping us all cozy down here on earth. There was a touch of spring in the air; I cruised the backyard and noted that […]
