Every now and then you whip up something with out giving it a lot of thought. It always surprises me when it comes out better than expected. I had scored this 4 lb pork sirloin roast (bone in) for $4.08 (hurray for catching good deals). It’ been in my freezer for awhile just waiting for […]

Food, Wine and Festivities Part 2
Food, Wine and Fun. Food, Beer and Laughs. Food, Wine and Friendships. Food, Beer and Inspiration. Food, Tequila and Party. Food, Cosmopolitans and Birthday. Food, Booze and a Great Time! My roomies, aren’t they adorable! Stepfanie from Spark People and my daughter Leah from Leftovers 4 Lunch. Saturday night was the big Gala. Seemingly every event […]
Food, Fun and Festivities Part I
I have so much to share! So you’ll just have to put up with me while I continue to share my exciting weekend. After all, I usually don’t have a life, so when I do get one I kind of get diarrhea of the camera and can’t squeeze my sphincter enough to stop it. I […]
The City on the Bay
I spent this last weekend in San Francisco with my daughter Leah. We flew down for the Foodbuzz Festival (later post), which nicely coincided with my birthday! Let me take you on a photographic journey of our visit through the city (with only minor comments). We booked a bus tour to hit the highlights […]
Orange Chicken
I’m 3 whole days into my healthy eating/journaling. I have been very good about journaling. As a matter of fact, even after two days of a I learned something. I need to pack healthy snacks. Even though I loaded our center snack shack with healthier versions of snack, they are not necessarily healthy. After all […]
Seafood Chowder and a Mostly Healthy November
“I’d gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today” (Wimpy from Popeye). A foodie grandma’s dream. My little alligator dressed up as a hamburger for Halloween. I just had to, had to, share. It brings a tear to my eye. Let’s not forget about the mystery I left you with yesterday. Here’s another hint…. […]
The Joy Cupcake
A couple weeks ago I was checking out the submissions for the Foodbuzz Picture Perfect challenge, and one of the submissions just kept sticking in my mind. It was The Joy Cupcake submitted by The Lunch Box Project. Being the non-baker type this really recipe really appealed to me. Plus I got what the joy […]
Fried Catfish and Remoulade=Fish Friday
Friday Fish Day! Fish Friday! Fish Fry Friday! I don’t know if it’s all the Fs or if fish on Friday is a religious hold over, but fish on Fridays always sounds good to me. Of course fish on any day sounds good to me. Fresh fish in Montana is especially good, since it is such […]
Italian Beef
Italian beef. It’s not beef from Italy. It’s not even a recipe from Italy. It’s not some American/Italian Nana’s secret family recipe. The only thing that makes this beef Italian is the Italian dressing mix and peperoncinis (actually I was just reviewing my post and noticed that the peperoncinis are imported from Greece). I also […]
Straight-Up Macaroni Salad & Something New!
This weekend McGyver is off hunting which means that the Baby boy and I get to have some quality time together. For me, that means I get to cook and have my sous chef handy and for the Baby boy, that means that he gets to eat…his choice. Friday after work, I stopped by the grocery store to […]
