This weekend we went up to the cabin, like we do most of the Summer time. This time McGyver suggested we go for a stroll through the woods. A stroll through the nice shady woods on a hot summer day, who could resist. We loaded up in the Rhino and Becca was coming along (Summer […]
There is a tall stainless steel shelf in my garage. It’s an extension to my kitchen. I store big bulky items like a crockpot, pressure cooker and electric roasting oven on it’s shelves. I also store items not frequently used like cake decorating items and items used only when I entertain. Buried in a box, […]
It’s a weeknight, you’ve worked a long day, your favorite way to unwind is to cook. Except tonight, you really don’t feel like it, no energy. Of course you could pick up something on the way home, or you could order out or even have the whole family go out for dinner. But you don’t […]
Lemon is one of my favorite flavors, I am more of a lemon lover than a chocolate lover (weird, I know). Mary at One Perfect Bite has been posting lemon recipes for the last couple of weeks, driving me absolutely crazy. Especially the lemony sweets.

I said it before and I’ll say it again, I really am not a baker. Actually I’m not that much into sweets. There are a few exceptions, I do love dark chocolate and I love Tiramisu. It is by far my favorite dessert! But then again, cheese is my favorite food and it contains cheese. […]
Have I told you that I love, love, love my new Dutch Oven? It heats perfectly, looks great and it’s easy to clean (which makes the Baby Boy happy too). Speaking of Baby Boy, this recipe is adapted from his Nana’s Pasta Fazool recipe. Traditional Pasta Fazool also known as Pasta e Fagioli is an […]
