The rumors on the web about me are true! My Secret Club Recipe assignment this month is, Thrifty Veggie Mama. Before I delve into SRC recipe stuff for this month, I have a funny little story involving Thrifty Veggie Mama. One day I was heading home from running errands and my phone did the tada […]

Chipotle Cornbread Muffins
I was making some black bean soup in my amazing pressure cooker. The soup takes a total of one hour start to finish and no soaking the beans; the pressure cooker has basically changed my bean eating world. But I’m not posting about pressure cooker/bean love today, however when you have a pressure cooker to […]
Happy St. Patties Day – A Daring Cook’s Challenge
No, I’m not having any holiday confusion. I know it’s St. Valentine’s Day but it is also The Daring Cooks challenge for this month…patties! Get it…Saint Valentine’s Day, Patties…heart shaped patty? The Daring Cooks’ February 2012 challenge was hosted by Audax & Lis and they chose to present Patties for their ease of construction, ingredients […]
Sofrito with Beans and Rice
Sometimes I just know what I want, I crave it, think about it, plan it, prepare it and eventually devour it with delight. Other times, it’s all about whatever I have left in the fridge that absolutely needs to be used up. Other times, meal decisions are based on time, and way too many times […]
Smoked Turkey Noodle Soup
I love photo props. Some of you other bloggers apply the KISS principle (keep it simple stupid), but me, I can’t help myself, I keep finding adorable little things. I really love vintage things (including McGyver). My children will attest to my love for vintage items, I think I spent a good portion of all […]
Cocktails for Lovers
Because the day belongs to lover’s, because the day is a Hallmark holiday, because if you don’t do something special for Valentine’s Day you’ll be in the dog house…
Motorcycle Monday and My First Give-Away
Last week I shared our first European H.O.G. rally together in Lido de Cavillino Italy, If you’d like to see the wet time that we had, you can catch up here. Although we went to Italy for all the motorcycle shenanigans, we did take a day off to visit Venice. We took the ferry to […]
Happy Blogoversary TKW
It’s incredible that it’s been two years since I started blogging! On this very day in 2010 I posted my first recipe with step by step instructions. I had a good camera, but I was a lousy photographer and didn’t realize I had floating margins so my giant 17” screen photos were to big for […]
Buffalo Celery Sticks
After yesterday’s post I thought that I better post something a little more healthy than cupcakes. This is almost not a recipe, more of a gathering of ingredients that turned out, to me, a great healthy snack, and for my Weight Watcher’s friends it’s only 1 points plus value. My inspiration came from buffalo wings. […]
Maple Rum Pecan Cupcakes with Candied Bacon
No, you’re eyes aren’t deceiving you. It’s a cupcake. See I told you, just because I’m on Weight Watchers doesn’t mean I’m going to turn into a tofu eating, kale munching health freak. Actually the whole cupcake thing was NOT planned. I realized on Saturday that I had to make a dessert for the Golden […]
