There’s a first time for everything, this time I’m actually reposting some from another blog. I’ve never done it before but this good advice must be shared! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen bikers packed up for a long trip and I looked at their packing job and thought to myself, what […]

Green Onion and Dill Dip
Summertime (or near summertime if you live in Montana), makes me naturally want to eat lighter. I’m a big veggie lover, more veg than fruit please! However, my vegetable drawer has been known to have many a vegetable lay in waste…wanted but forgotten. That’s where the guilt comes in, the truth is that my veg […]
Motorcycle Monday: Biker gear
Here’s some girl gear to add to your shopping list. Draggin Jeans what’s so great about these? When the weather is too hot for chaps and you aren’t into the armored look, these jeans provide the protection, yet still look like a regular pair of jeans. Denim Chaps can’t bear to part with chaps? Try […]
Brown Sugar and Smoked Sea Salt Brussels Sprouts
Some foods have a hard time “wowing” people, the poor Brussels sprout, happens to be one of those foods. The Brussels sprout is a vegetable that seems be on the you either love ‘em or hate ‘em lists. I admit, I used to hate them. My first introduction came from high school sweetheart’s Mom. Just […]
Three Pepper Refried Beans
I have a secret, I’ve had it for months and I haven’t shared it…until now. I bought an electric pressure cooker. Truth is, I couldn’t take it anymore. Sam at work kept ranting and raving about how great an electric pressure cooker is. So easy, so great, so wonderful that it makes a crock pot […]
Motorcycle Monday: My First Solo Ride
I successfully completed the Motorcycle Safety Foundations Beginner’s Riders course and got my endorsement on my license. You can read about that here. Call me brave, call me stupid, mostly call me ignorant. McGyver was still living in Germany, I had bought and moved into our new house in Shiloh, Illinois. Most of the household […]
Mother Goose
McGyver was driving down the river road this morning when he spotted some geese and their goslings. He called me immediately and said “I don’t if you have a Mother’s Day post planned but there are some adorable yellow fluffy goslings you might want to photograph”. I slept in this morning (which felt great) but […]
Risotto Verde
For all of you risotto lovers, have I got a treat for you! I really didn’t intend to make this recipe, I intended on making Jen’s Spanish Rice with green enchilada sauce versus the red that I normally use. I had everything I needed…except the rice. Time to switch gears or go shopping. I decided […]
Shredded Venison Tacos
Can you believe Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner? If you’ve been keeping up on the latest food blog postings, you probably already picked up on the trend of latest Mexican inspired meals. My tacos aren’t trendy but they are delicious! I actually wasn’t sure if tacos were really Mexican or another American […]
ABCD: A Blogger’s Centerline Day
Where were you on May Day 2011? Probably not sitting on a center line in the middle of a road. Gary over at USA Tour on a Harley had a plan to get bloggers to post a picture of themselves on a centerline. The rules are simple: Rule 1 – the picture must be taken […]
