We just had a Teriyaki Madness chain open up here in Great Falls and everyone loves it! I have to say I thought it was pretty decent myself. However, I’m a do it yourself gal in the kitchen and when you cook up almost 8 pounds of pork shoulder, grill 5 pounds of squash, 12 […]
There are so many things that I love about Thanksgiving, after all it is a holiday centered on food. It’s a time when families and friends gather together and mostly enjoy the holiday. A holiday steeped in tradition. I’ve done my share of experimenting with different flavors and dishes. Sometimes the new flavors were stunners, […]
Last month I taught a cooking class, it was Mexican cooking. Not your standard heavy Tex-Mex loaded with cheese, sauces and sour cream. Our theme was Mexi-light, Mexi-easy, Mexi-delicious. We started off with the basics, salsa and guacamole and then things got better. Taking my cues from Baja and the Yucatan region we started off […]
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 […]
Sometimes life gets in the way of riding, cooking, photographing and blogging like I want to. There just isn’t enough time, often times I’ve thought “I should have waited till I retired to do a blog”. I’ve even thought about putting it on hold for awhile, you know, while I try to catch up on […]

Pease porridge hot, Pease porridge cold, Pease porridge in the pot, nine days old; Some like it hot, some like it cold, Some like it in the pot, nine days old. When I was just a wee child, last year (not really but it seems like that), my mother would serve me oatmeal. And I […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
