My morning started off with puppy who decided to replace a teenager. Normally the Summer dog gets up and goes outside first thing in the morning. Not this morning, not at all. I went downstairs to let her out of her kennel and she didn’t budge. I let her be. I came back 30 minutes […]
Pure simple unadulterated guacamole. I’ve read many guacamole recipes that call for a variety of ingredients such as garlic, tomato, onion and jalapenos. But the truth is, I love, love, love avocados. So much so that I don’t want to have my guacamole covered up by any flavors. Just salt to enhance the flavor and some […]
Bacon makes everything taste better. That’s a fact Jack! Can’t deny it, can you believe it also makes things healthier? Okay, maybe not bacon itself. But use bacon and grill instead of breading and deep frying, suddenly really unhealthy turns into not so unhealthy. Jalapeno peppers area vegetable and cream cheese is lower in fat then regular hard cheese. […]
Farmer’s Markets are brimming with fresh lettuce, herbs and vegetables. Although I make garden salads year round, nothing can match shopping for the freshest ingredients at your local market, taking it home and making a delicious fresh salad. I’m sucker for creamy dressings, I do love a vinaigrette, but a creamy dressing is my […]
Yet another trip up to the cabin. Seriously that’s what we wanted, a place we could drive too and get away. Of course the idea was to relax also, but not yet. Not for awhile. However, progress is moving along nicely. Our neighbor Jeff has been busy keeping up with my whims. It’s starting to […]
Something about this time of year makes me yearn, crave salads. Every kind, lettuce, pasta, fruit, cabbage and potato. No salad says summertime more than the classic potato salad. There are as many versions as there is, well I’m not exactly sure what to compare it to, but there is a lot of potato salad […]
It’s been about a week and half since I had to whip together a menu for going up to the cabin. I promised that I would post the Arnold Palmer drink that I made. I had planned on doing it earlier but the issue is, it’s the Baby boy’s absolutely favoritist drink and he was […]
Last Saturday I missed the first day of the Farmer’s Market because we were up at the cabin. McGyver headed up again to take what will be our bathroom (shower, sink and other stuff) for our neighbor to install. I decided to stay back because I just couldn’t bear to miss going to the market. […]
We found out last Wednesday that the roads were clear up to our cabin and our “outside” contractor had finished up his work from last summer. The Baby boy was also away on a float trip down the Smith River so McGyver thought we should head up and “cabin camp” overnight. I was excited to […]
It just seems like the nicer the weather gets, the busier we get. Especially here in Montana where the nice season is short. You want to take advantage of every nice day you possibly can. For example today McGyver cleaned out the garage, Ryan mowed the lawn and I cleaned house. Well, that’s not exactly […]
