Like my Pork Roast with Chimichurri, my Pepper Jack Mashed potatoes were basically thrown together on a whim. They are so flavorful and stupidly simple to make. I used Yukon Gold potatoes because they have a nice buttery flavor and I am trying to be a bit healthier. I felt like I could reduce the […]
This weekend McGyver is off hunting which means that the Baby boy and I get to have some quality time together. For me, that means I get to cook and have my sous chef handy and for the Baby boy, that means that he gets to eat…his choice. Friday after work, I stopped by the grocery store to […]
When I made this it made me think of my daughter. If you’ve ever visited Leah’s blog (which is sporting a cool new logo!) you would know that she luva, luva risotto, adores lemon and goes gaga for asparagus. Let’s not forget about the wine, she loves that too. I have to say that the apple does […]
When I moved to Montana 2 years ago, I had never ever been to a Rodeo. I watched it on TV and even road a mechanical bull. After watching the movie 8 Seconds I knew I wanted to see a real live rodeo. When you move out west and into cattle country, a little desire […]
Fall bounty abounds and from the earth comes the turnip. A friend told me once that he heard that when God made the turnip, he looked at it and said “this is not right, I am going to bury it underground so hopefully no one will find it”. Looks like burying it wasn’t enough, although many people wished […]
Now that our cabin is starting to feel like a second home, we can’t stay away! McGyver and I both had a three day weekend and the baby boy is on school break still, so we headed on up the top of the mountain again. We had some more furniture pieces to bring with us […]
Something about this time of year makes me yearn, crave salads. Every kind, lettuce, pasta, fruit, cabbage and potato. No salad says summertime more than the classic potato salad. There are as many versions as there is, well I’m not exactly sure what to compare it to, but there is a lot of potato salad […]
Looking for something different in your potato? Have I got a surprise for you! Is it boobs? Is it a butt? Or is it really a potato? Definitely a butt…see the hole? Seriously, how funny is that potato? I think I should have posted in on ebay or something. I would have got a […]
Don’t tell McGyver that I got this recipe from an ex-boyfriends grandmother. We were visiting his family in Iowa and I had this dressing. Grandma Phyllis served with cucumbers and onions, this time. She said she used it for coleslaw, potato salad or anything else she felt like. Well, I got to tell you, grandmas are pretty good […]
I couldn’t wait to use my new cauldron Dutch Oven, and I was hankering for some Cajun food, maybe because it’s Mardi Gras. Fried Catfish and Okra were on the top of my list but I also wanted to use that beautiful red pot I brought home. A nice big pot of greens would be a […]
