It’s a weeknight, you’ve worked a long day, your favorite way to unwind is to cook. Except tonight, you really don’t feel like it, no energy. Of course you could pick up something on the way home, or you could order out or even have the whole family go out for dinner. But you don’t […]
Ask my family what their favorite Seafood is? Shrimp, they’ll cheer! Ask my family what their favorite starch is? Pasta, they’ll cheer! Ask my family what their favorite meat is? Bacon they’ll cheer! Ask the doggies what’s their favorite? And they’ll cheer, EVERYTHING! Poor Summer thinks she’s a Circus dog, until she looses her balance […]
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 […]
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.

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 […]
In honor of William and Kate’s wedding, my post today is British themed. Some of you already know this, but for those of you who don’t, I spent 4 years living in England. Receiving an overseas assignments was one of the best perks of being in the military. It was so incredibly exciting, I had […]
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. I spent most of mine cooking, that is improvising my cooking. I also had some drama, not too serious but scary (more on that in a moment). I failed to plan for Easter (that’s not the drama I’m talking about). I more than failed to plan, I didn’t […]
Happy Earth Day! Have you ever got an urge or a craving that you just couldn’t let go? The only way to shake it is to go ahead and make/eat it? I don’t know why I got this urge to make cupcakes. I normally don’t enjoy baking. Perhaps it was the Food Network challenge I […]
