Good morning and Happy Easter! I hope everyone is hanging in there, I know I say that every week now but I don’t know what else to say. I am going on week 5 of working from home, I think I have left my sanctuary maybe 5 times over the last month. The last time it was for my husband he injured himself and ended … Continue reading Scalloped Potatoes
OK so maybe the title didn’t grab your attention but let me tell you these were melt in your mouth delicious. A few weeks ago I was going through a bunch of recipes and making my grocery list. Sometimes this works out fabulously and sometimes not so much. I was a little to over ambitious with how many things I had wanted to make and … Continue reading Braised Leeks and Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese
Slaw – who knew that little four letter word causes a love hate and tolerate feeling. Why is that? I personally like to try all kinds of slaw wherever I can find it. My husband is on the other end of this, maybe not all the way to hate but more in the lines of tolerate. Probably because I make it and put it on … Continue reading Three Apple Slaw
While it may be the end of summer for some, I am not going down without a fight. My garden is still giving me lots of veggies; it even has finally snapped out of it and we have fresh garden tomatoes. I have made a ridiculous amount of kosher dill pickles. My zucchini plants did not do well this year, maybe a dozen in … Continue reading Chow Chow relish – water bath canning
This week was not spent in the kitchen and most of my garden tomatoes are still not ripening. I literally had to google what the heck is wrong with them. Apparently my original thought was completely wrong. I thought my plants were so large and the roots and earth were not getting enough heat. I did not know that some varieties will not turn red … Continue reading Garden Salsa
Pretty hot this weekend – so far hottest this summer. Not only the heat but the humidity damn its gross out there! My phone is telling me that it is 91’F out and it also says it feels like 98’F. That means it is gross out there and hopefully you can stay inside with the air conditioner on or you are somewhere near a … Continue reading Summer Garden Salad
I wonder if there are people who are not BBQ’ing this weekend? I can safely say that even when we didn’t have company over we had a BBQ. Weather has so far never stopped us – huh KP? Think pouring rain, no lights, umbrella with drinks in hand and SO many laughs. Food tasted great I think? We were incredibly soaked but we were making … Continue reading Pasta Salad easy tasty crowd pleaser
So I am going to go out on a limb that when I posted this recipe 4 years ago; none of you made it. Do you want to know how I know. I googled my blog while I was at the store to make sure I had what I needed and noticed I left out an ingredient hmmmmmm. Not my first time and probably won’t … Continue reading Scalloped Potatoes – must try
I mentioned a bit ago that I heard you could make a pretty decent macaroni and cheese using butternut squash. A few years ago I would have told you you were crazy. Now I am coming around; so much so I tried it. I looked around the internet for a few recipes but decided to make my usual one and replace most of the cheese … Continue reading Macaroni & “Cheese” butternut squash
This weekend I will be playing in my 17th KMS golf tournament. I have been on the board of the foundation for over 10 years and it is an honor to be apart of something that innocently started with a few family and close friends after losing a very dear person in all of our lives. The tournament and foundation has turned into something bigger … Continue reading Leftover Focaccia Panzanella Salad
