It’s my favorite time of year! I love the change of colors, the crispness to the air and FOOTBALL. And now it’s my favorite bloggy time of the month. It’s Secret Recipe Club reveal time. A club where we get assigned another blog…secretly…whip up one of their recipes and post about it. This month I […]
Oh my don’t those look good! Smoky salmon burgers topped with juicy pineapple salsa. If you want the recipe, you’ll have to head over to Little Ferraro Kitchen. I did a guest post for Samantha. When Samantha, a college student, made a cry out for help because school was taking up her time, I couldn’t […]

As a child of the 60’s and 70’s, Jell-O was a regular part of my life. There was nothing strange about an oddly colored gelatin molded with weird looking fruit, vegetables and even meat in it.

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 […]
We had our first ever cookie exchange at work. The deal was: bring two dozen cookies, of the same or different kind, you come home with two dozen cookies that someone else baked. Since I’m not a big fan of baking (except doing my duty during the holidays and other special occasions), I was excited […]
Keeping in line with our companies focus towards healthier eating in the month of November (oh why couldn’t it be January instead?), our Thanksgiving potluck organizer (read me) encouraged the staff to prepare something healthier. Oh the resistance, the moaning and the groaning. Thanksgiving is when you let it all hang out, consume huge quantities […]
If you remember my post on The Saltine Cracker Elevated I promised I would get the recipe refined for my father-in-law’s Shrimp Dip. McGyver was the official taste tester, after all who would know his dad’s recipe better? See we only had a list of the ingredients and not the quantity. McGyver had a general idea […]
