There is so much to do between now and the up coming holidays. Especially since I hate shopping and put it off to the last moment! There is also a lot more entertaining going on this time of year (which I love) so I’ve compiled six easy appetizers to stave off starving guests. Brie en […]
You might as well go get my crown and schedule my coronation now. I have just become the casserole queen! This casserole was so good that I could have my own network show based on this casserole alone! Seriously. The most important criteria for a casserole is comfort. What speaks better to comfort than chicken […]
When it comes to cooking, I pretty much just cook the everyday stuff. The typical American hodge podge, melting pot of meals. I cook Mexican/TexMex but don’t make my own tortillas. I cook Italian but I don’t make my own pasta. I cook French but don’t make fancy pastries. I cook German but don’t make […]
We love Chinese food, lets face it, Chinese take-out is fun! Unfortunately the only Chinese offered in Great Falls is marginally good and most of it is deep fried and greasy. I still enjoy it though, however, the next day I have a fierce thirst. I need to drink a gallon of water to try […]
We have a cabin, a cabin in the mountains. A cabin on 40 acres of forested rocky mountain. I love our cabin, it’s where we spend nearly every weekend of the summer at. A place with out cable, internet and cell phones…a getaway. Since McGyver and I play mountain man and mountain woman every weekend […]
It’s no secret that my eyes are bigger than my stomach, my sense of time means that I always think I have more time than I do and I have an unrealistic view of how much fresh food we can consume in a week. I have this tendency to overbuy and then I find myself […]
Now that the Safari is done and weather is cooperative, we’ve been able to head up to the cabin. McGyver and I went up one weekend on our own and got it ready for this year’s use. It was a quick overnighter, nothing to exciting, just relaxing mostly. While we were up there, I decided […]
Only 4 ingredients: Chicken, butter, salt and pepper. The perfection of this roasted chicken isn’t hours of brining or fantastic, or even exotic ingredients and seasonings, it’s the cooking method and the butter. Oh my, what the butter does to this chicken. The butter transforms a regular chicken into a super succulent, super moist meat […]
Did you know that I used to be a Hooter’s Girl? I served up Hot Wings and Beer. Not really, I was a copy cat just for a day (many years and many less pounds ago). McGyver thought it would be a hoot (pun intended) to get me a Hooter’s girl outfit. So one day […]
My final post in a 3 part series. Soupa Avegolemono is traditionally made with eggs, chicken broth, rice or a small pasta like orzo with out the addition of chicken. Although not traditional in the purist sense, many Greek restaurants serve Soupa Avgolemono with chicken in it. In my version, I’ve omitted the eggs because […]
