So I may have mentioned a time or two that I am not a fan of mushrooms, the texture is a little odd to me and they can be really earthy. I also have a thing for green beans, not a fan. They also taste way to earthy to me. I do understand what mushrooms can bring to the dish and I will use them … Continue reading Beef Stroganoff
Running a little late this morning, not just in writing this but in all things. I really have to go grocery shopping sooner rather than later, the fridge is looking a little bare. Asked the hubby what he needed for the week and what did he want for Sunday dinner. He asked for beef stroganoff, seriously I have never made that, he was shocked, it … Continue reading Beef Bourguignon
Sorry I am so late in posting today. The day totally got away from me. I had planned on putting Christmas away, which is definitely started but still a long way to go. I just remembered I still hadn’t written or posted a blog. I had some croissants leftover from Christmas morning so I knew no one was going to eat them so what to … Continue reading Croissant Casserole

Sometimes simple is best. I haven’t been in the mood for a lot of cooking of late. I haven’t really analyzed what’s going on but sometimes I get into a little bit of a funk and things start shutting down. I think the first to go is my desire to get into the kitchen and start cooking. I usually enjoy being in the kitchen and … Continue reading Spaghetti Carbonara
I think this is the first time I have made Chex Party Mix. I might have made this back in the 80’s but I cant be sure. I have vague recollection; but it might have been me just eating what someone else made? I have seen so many people posting that they bought their ingredients and were making theirs. I guess I had a little … Continue reading Chex Party Mix with Cinnamon and Sugar
I am sure you are almost done with turkey; I know I am. I was “reeling” on my phone the other day and saw a question “what is the most overrated food on Thanksgiving?” hands down it has to be the turkey I know it is for me and when I asked my husband he said the same. I have made it so many different … Continue reading Fried chicken thigh and a pickled caper dill sauce
This is the weekend before the big day. Yes Thanksgiving is a big day around here I make too much food, have no room in the fridge or freezer and usually rely on the porch for a little extra cold space. If you haven’t already, you need to take your bird(s) out of the freezer. I have my usual 2 small birds that I make … Continue reading Turkey Soup from homemade stock
Today my grocery shopping list will have quite a few different ingredients than my usual list. Thanksgiving is quickly coming up and I will be cooking for the family plus. The plus can be friends, extended family and on rare occasions friends of family members; we have had all of the above over the years. This year will definitely look different with the passing of … Continue reading Curly Cues

It was a beautiful day and many beautiful tributes to a beautiful woman. She will be missed dearly by so many! My husband and I have been living with … Continue reading Garlic Herb Crusted Center Cut Pork Loin
