Anyone who knows me well knows that I don’t like to get up early. I’m a proverbial snoozer,I lay in bed and go through what I could skip so I can stay in bed a little longer: drink coffee at work, take a frozen meal for lunch or go out to eat, put my make-up on at […]

Sauteed Zucchini with Thyme
Hey folks, don’t make too much fun of me….Yes I know Zucchini is spelled wrong in the title…see my spell checker doesn’t check the title, apparently neither does the computer operator. I was “viewing” my post after publishing it and wow! First thing I saw was a painfully obvious spelling error. Okay so no problem, I […]
Basic Chili
There are as many ways to make chili as there are cooks in the world. Honestly I’m not sure if I ever make it the same way twice. It doesn’t seem to matter, it always turns out good. In college for my Biology class, we had an extra credit question that asked “What is […]
Asian Slaw
The weather has finally turned nice enough to start grilling. With grilling and outdoor eating usually means salad sides. Something about nice weather that makes you want to eat salad. Love, love, love the traditional coleslaw, pasta, and potato salads but I like a variety once in awhile. Even better then that, I like it […]
Rack of Lamb with Rosemary and Thyme
Some things are just worth it! If you’ve never tried rack of lamb put it on your bucket list because it’s a must do! I didn’t get my lamb from an organic store or from a butcher or local sheep farmer, I just bought it from Sam’s Club. It’s New Zealand lamb and it was […]
Lemon Curd
As I mentioned in yesterdays post, I scored some Meyer Lemons. They are the juicest of all lemons. I wish you could cradle one in your hand and feel the sheer squishiness of it. Just a little squeeze and you instantly know that this lemon promises you lots of juice. I was afraid if I […]
Compound Butter
Butter makes everything better! Or in the immortal words of Homer Simpson “mmmmm butter”. Believe it or not but it is possible to make butter taste even better. Just a couple more simple ingredients and you’ve upped it a notch. Compound butter is, as it names implies, a combination of ingredients mixed into the butter. […]
Cream of Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup
I love corned beef and cabbage, and I would eat them again just as is the next day except I love reinventing leftovers even more then I love eating them. It always seems there is plentysome left overs. March is still soup weather so I combined one of my favorite soups, potato soup with the […]
Squashed Taters
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 […]
Twisted Tartar Sauce
I’m not really a big fan of tartar sauce, at least not the jarred kind. It just never seemed quite right. But I got a craving for some, can’t explain it exactly. Maybe it had to do with deep frying up some catfish that made me think I needed to slather on some more fat? […]
