Big News!!!! I’m going to Iceland in August. Like, wow, I mean wow I can’t believe it. If you’ve been hanging out here for awhile you’ll see that I have been posting a lot or Nordic, and more specifically Icelandic recipes. I’ve taken a keen interest in my heritage and of course for me that […]
Did everyone have a great St. Patrick’s Day? I spent it all alone, well mostly alone, I did have my doggies. Oh but that deter me, nope not one bit. You see I love me some Corned Beef and Cabbage. Alone or not I cooked it up and ate it…not all of it of course. […]
Would you believe these Danish’s are made with packaged crescent rolls? When I got my package of Apple Pie Bacon from Pig of the Month I couldn’t wait to make these. I’m so in lurve with this bacon! I have another pound of it in my freezer so you can expect more recipes with […]

Many people have served this country, they sacrificed me time, family time, friends time and sometimes sacrificed everything, never able to return home […]

I was making some black bean soup in my amazing pressure cooker. The soup takes a total of one hour start to finish and no soaking the beans; the pressure cooker has basically changed my bean eating world. But I’m not posting about pressure cooker/bean love today, however when you have a pressure cooker to […]
