Tid-Bits on a Wednesday

I didn’t think I would be gone this long. I had prepped, planned, and prepared to the best of my ability to keep me ahead of the game. I had made plans and then life happened. Isn’t that what they say? When there are more balls in the air than you are able to keepContinue reading “Tid-Bits on a Wednesday”

Tid-Bits

Here are some facts. My kitchen is in boxes around my feet and I can’t tell which end is up. It took me twenty minutes to unearth a bowl yesterday and then the scones that came from that bowl were just ‘eh’. And I don’t have it in me to rework them today.Continue reading “Tid-Bits”

The End of Summer Vegetable Frittata

You guys! I am moving. In the brick and mortar sense. With boxes and packing tape. Newspaper and bubble wrap. Black sharpie markers and newspaper. There are boxes stacking up in the front room and I am in the ‘ it gets worse before it gets better’ stage. Stan is just playing in theContinue reading “The End of Summer Vegetable Frittata”

Pizza Strata

Or personal pan pizza strata. Or pepperoni, mushroom, and caramelized onion strata with roasted tomatoes and extra cheese. A bit wordy, no? I read a gazillion books in third grade to earn a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut. Hundreds of pages for a 4 inch pizza made just for me that was delivered toContinue reading “Pizza Strata”

Chocolate Glazed Walnut Brownies

I know. What the world needs is not one more brownie recipe. I think perhaps finding a renewable energy source would rank above brownies…however I have the ingredients and the know how for brownies at my fingertips. How to harness wind power and sunlight and redirect their energy to power say my car or toasterContinue reading “Chocolate Glazed Walnut Brownies”

Caprese Salad Grilled Cheese

I have this bad habit of adding too much garlic to the pesto. It ends up being this process that much resembles when one (me) cuts her own bangs. Too much trimmed from the left side (too much garlic) causes a bit more to be taken (more basil, walnuts, cheese, and olive oil added) offContinue reading “Caprese Salad Grilled Cheese”

Green Beans, Ham, and Potatoes

And we are Monday-ing again. Weren’t we just Friday-ing it up like freaking rockstars? Drinking Oktoberfests and gobbling hamburgers dripping with fried egg and golden yolks and dipping greasy salted fries in tangy ketchup and pretending that salads loaded with blue cheese and drenched in ranch dressing counts as a healthy vegetable side. Can we FridayContinue reading “Green Beans, Ham, and Potatoes”

Peanut Butter and Cracker Ice Cream Sandwiches

Does September (or the end of August if you are from these parts) feel more like the beginning of a new year… a true fresh start…more so than the first of January? Perhaps it is how a new school year coincides with a progression of seasons. There is a noticeable shift in the universe. A changeContinue reading “Peanut Butter and Cracker Ice Cream Sandwiches”

Peanut Butter Ice Cream

Have you eaten ample amount of ice cream and frozen treats this summer? Gosh, I hope so. I have made weekly trips to the Dairy Queen for a simple small twist cone dipped in chocolate or cherry, alternating from the week before. Sitting on one of eight picnic benches that lie beneath a rickety green aluminumContinue reading “Peanut Butter Ice Cream”

Asian Apple Glazed Salmon with Kale Quinoa

First things first. The winner of the Anolon Cookware Giveaway is Amber! Amber, please check your email and respond, congrats! I like to play this game when watching re-runs of old NBC shows, preferably ER and The West Wing. But first, let me state a little unknown fact before explaining the rules to myContinue reading “Asian Apple Glazed Salmon with Kale Quinoa”
