I decided making cauliflower puree look appetizing on its own is quite difficult. After pureeing the roasted cauliflower it becomes this pasty ecru color and looks gritty, actually very unappealing. I’m not trying to turn you off in my first few sentences but I’m finding it difficult to describe this tasty puree because it is […]

The Coolest Ride
These long Montana winters are getting me down. I am ready to ride, so very ready. Currently the weather is quite warm (for us) and the snow is melting off nicely, but…. still to dangerous to ride. Patches of ice, salt and sand on the roads makes me ill at ease, plus the 70 mph […]
Love. Birds.
This Valentine’s Day you’ve probably planned to go out to eat or make a special meal. You’ve carefully selected the perfect gift to show your sweetie, honey, baby, kid, mom, who ever just how much you love them and how special you are to their lives. I did something different. This Valentine’s Day, I showed […]
Lighter Lasagna
McGyver sat me down last Saturday and said, “I need to lose some weight and I’m going to start Monday, right after the Super Bowl.” He told me this after I already made the menu for the week, after I just finished grocery shopping. Don’t get me wrong, I’m totally supportive, more than supportive. I […]
The Baby Boy Cooks
Once upon a time a young teenager got a wild hair and decided to cook. He would make a meal to satisfy the parental units. He dug through the fridge and the pantry, he surfed the internet. He snuck his mamas camera and he cooked and took pictures. He selected only the finest ingredients, two […]
North Carolina Pulled Pork
I have to admit that I actually made this dish more than 6 months ago, I didn’t post it for what ever reason. I guess it just wasn’t it’s time. When the Baby boy suggested that I make pulled pork sandwiches for the upcoming Super Bowl, I remembered this fabulous recipe for pulled pork and […]
Hooter’s Hot Wings (Copy Cat Recipe)
Did you know that I used to be a Hooter’s Girl? I served up Hot Wings and Beer. Not really, I was a copy cat just for a day (many years and many less pounds ago). McGyver thought it would be a hoot (pun intended) to get me a Hooter’s girl outfit. So one day […]
His, Mine and Ours Game Day Quesadillas
Would you believe it if I told you that I’m the only member of my family that likes football? It’s true; if I watch a game I watch it alone while everyone else goes about their business. Except for one time a year, Super Bowl time. Suddenly on Super Bowl day I have a crowd […]
Biscochitos
I have a problem. It’s been building for months, an insidious problem that won’t go away. It’s fat, it’s been building up and now it is about to bust it seams and get out of control. Something had to be done! The best treatment for getting rid of fat? Cookies! I know what your thinking, […]
Soupa Avgolemono (Greek Lemon Chicken Soup)
My final post in a 3 part series. Soupa Avegolemono is traditionally made with eggs, chicken broth, rice or a small pasta like orzo with out the addition of chicken. Although not traditional in the purist sense, many Greek restaurants serve Soupa Avgolemono with chicken in it. In my version, I’ve omitted the eggs because […]
