As I’ve said before I work with some pretty talented people! One of them, Aimee Hachigian-Gould. Aimee is a down to earth friendly person. She’s an amazing cook, rancher and on top of that she is an orthopedic doctor. Not only does Aimee run a ranch, her orthopedic practice, compete in numerous competitions she is […]
Hey folks, don’t make too much fun of me….Yes I know Zucchini is spelled wrong in the title…see my spell checker doesn’t check the title, apparently neither does the computer operator. I was “viewing” my post after publishing it and wow! First thing I saw was a painfully obvious spelling error. Okay so no problem, I […]
My work center banded together to volunteer for our local NeighborWorks, I personally wasn’t keen on waking up early on a Saturday, but in the end it was a satisfying experience. AboutNeighborWorks in Great Falls: NeighborWorks® Great Falls (NWGF) is a non-profit organization with the mission of rebuilding historic Great Falls neighborhoods and creating home ownership […]
There are as many ways to make chili as there are cooks in the world. Honestly I’m not sure if I ever make it the same way twice. It doesn’t seem to matter, it always turns out good. In college for my Biology class, we had an extra credit question that asked “What is […]
It’s 4:oo am and I smell a camp fire, but then I hear sirens….close sirens……….really close sirens……… I drag myself out of be and look out my bedroom window and I see smoke billowing out from behind our garage. I grab my hoody, my camera, leave the dog inside and putter out to see, with […]
The weather has finally turned nice enough to start grilling. With grilling and outdoor eating usually means salad sides. Something about nice weather that makes you want to eat salad. Love, love, love the traditional coleslaw, pasta, and potato salads but I like a variety once in awhile. Even better then that, I like it […]
I never ever buy teriyaki marinade or sauce at the grocery store. 1) it is so easy to make 2) the homemade version tastes way better 3) I know exactly what’s in it 4) it’s definitely cheaper 5) it uses standard pantry items 6) it is so easy to make…wait I said that already. It […]
I’m the head cook in the family, but that doesn’t mean I’m the only cook. When McGyver and I were dating, he was a self-sustaining bachelor. I don’t mean he would pick up pre-made dishes or do take out, he could actually cook. Not gourmet but well enough. My all time favorite recipe of his, […]
I am a fortunate person. I work with many talented people. We may be a plasma donation center but the people who work there have talents that you wouldn’t expect to find. For example we have great cooks (besides me…), one of our staffers, even made it to the Pillsbury cook-off! We have people that […]
At 5:00 am the wind blew so hard that it woke me up. I lounged in bed thinking “wow, the wind doesn’t usually wake me up”. Great Falls is typically on the top 10 list of most windy places and I guess I’ve acclimatized because it doesn’t wake me up. But not today. I tried going […]
