For Valentine’s Day, it was Lobster Palooza at our house (expect several more recipes). I wanted to make something special, out of the ordinary and luxurious. Then lobster tails went on sale…we bought 10. That’s 10 tails for 3 people, nearly ridiculous, but only nearly. The tails were small, not langoustine small, but definitely on […]
Confession time. My husband and I started Weight Watcher’s 1 1/2 weeks ago. I haven’t really talked about our change because so many people are on their New Year’s Resolution Band Wagon to get healthy and fit. The decision to do WW isn’t about any New Year’s resolution, it merely was about the fact that […]

Isn’t it amazing how small the chickens are getting these days. Who thought of ‘Toy’ chickens? Whoever did, they’re a genius. Tiny chicken legs are the perfect messy finger food. Kidding…about the ‘Toy’ chickens, not about the little ‘legs’ being the perfect messy finger food. These little legs are the easier to eat, meatier part […]
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 […]
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 […]
For those of you who have to wait last minute to carve their pumpkins, (like us because the squirrels would absolutely devour them before Halloween) or for you pumpkin painters who now need to clean out the seeds (they are to good to waste); I’ve got a fabulous pumpkin seed recipe. Here’s how it started. […]
