We here in New Hampshire tend to BBQ all year long. We try to spend as much time outdoors as possible from being indoors for the last 3-4 months. I can also attest to cooking outdoors in pouring rain, freezing temperatures and even during a snowstorm. Not always because I wanted to but if we lose power my oven will not light. I can light … Continue reading BBQ chicken thigh marinade – you need to try this
With Mother’s Day coming up next weekend I have a few ideas for a nice breakfast or brunch. This morning my husband threw some bacon in the oven. I asked what we were having for breakfast, his response was bacon; ummm what else? No plan just bacon, he wasn’t kidding he literally just made bacon. My mind goes to pancakes; he can make or waffles … Continue reading Sunday Breakfast Brunch
So I have been craving some Cajun shrimp chowder. Whenever my local restaurant would have it on their menu I always bought myself, my husband and son a bowl. I haven’t seen it in a long time nor have I had it in a long time so I made it myself. It does taste different but I am pleased with mine and I used larger … Continue reading Cajun Shrimp Chowder
Sitting at the island on this dreary rainy day thinking of all that I could do in the house and none of it is motivating me too much. Though writing my blog I forgot to pick up some deli ham when I went to the store yesterday to beat the rain. I wanted to use the leftover pork loin in a Cuban Sandwich. I vaguely … Continue reading Pork Loin Marinade

This morning is just my husband and myself which was a good thing as I opened the carton of eggs and there were only 2. Glad I didn’t have … Continue reading Hash Brown Toast

I’m sitting here thinking about when to start Easter Linner. How our Easter tradition started was with my in-laws having everyone go to the local Lions Club pancake breakfast. … Continue reading Lemon Buttermilk Pound Cake with Lemon Glaze
My home is currently super quiet, I can only hear the windchimes out on the porch and it is a lovely feeling. The sun is shining and I wish it was not so chilly out there, maybe we could pick up some of the tree debris from the “snomageddon” we had here a few weeks ago. Yes we still have quite a bit of snow … Continue reading Cinnamon Roll Cake
Kind of an exciting week this past week. My first grandchild arrived 3 weeks earlier than expected. Everyone is doing well; she is a healthy beautiful little girl and I am so excited for the new parents and all the adventures they will have. It is super sweet to see my son who is a pretty big guy holding his tiny little daughter, melts my … Continue reading Cabbage and Sausage soup
While you are reading this on Sunday morning or at least I am posting this on Sunday morning Friday night I was looking on my site for this recipe. There were a handful of people at the house and we were prepping for the baby shower for my son and daughter-in-law; my first grandbaby the following day. The theme is horses so we are having … Continue reading marinated chicken thighs
If you read my blog fairly frequently you might think I just posted this; I even questioned it myself but they are different soups with similar ingredients. This one I adapted from a recipe I found in allrecipes.com that was submitted by domesticgoddess. It comes together quickly and has fabulous flavor and fits the bill around here. We got over a foot of snow here … Continue reading Tuscan Bean and Italian Sausage Soup
