As usual, I avoid this page like the plague (didn’t even touch it in April). Somehow it’s a brutal reminder of how I don’t follow up on anything. I try, well not so much as try, but desire. I desire to be a good girl and exercise and eat right and be a healthy person. […]

Danger Men Cooking
Some of you know that we have 40 acres of land in the Rocky Mountains and that we are building a small cabin. The plan, if it ever gets finished, is try and spend as many weekends up there as possible. This ain’t no fancy cabin, it’s not a ‘house’ in the woods. It’s going […]
Scones
Mcgyver and the Baby boy asked me what I wanted to do for Mother’s Day. Zillions of possibilities flowed through my mind, okay, maybe not zillions, I don’t think I have the capacity for zillions of thoughts. But I did have a few, like visit Giant Springs, have a picnic, or go for a motorcycle ride […]
Frijoles
Nothing like a holiday to put you in the mood for specific food. Cinco de Mayo is tomorrow and all I have to say is “Free-hole-lays!” Say it with me “Freeee-hole-laaays!” It even sounds festive. No one in my family is from Mexico, not even a remote strain, although I have family in Texas. Close […]
The Healthier Breakfast Sandwich(es)
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 […]

She’s an amazing cook, rancher and on top of that she is an orthopedic doctor. Not only does Aimee run a ranch, her orthopedic practice, compete in numerous competitions she is […]
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 […]
Steak with Grilled Jalapeno and Pineapple
It’s 4:oo am and I smell a camp fire, but then I hear sirens….close sirens……….really close sirens……… I drag myself out of be and look out my bedroom window and I see smoke billowing out from behind our garage. I grab my hoody, my camera, leave the dog inside and putter out to see, with […]
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 […]
