I struggle for healthy satisfying weekday breakfast ideas. I go through phases of cereal, english muffins, oatmeal, a smoothie or I will make a frittata and eat a piece every morning for the week. I try to think about eating something healthy but when it comes right down to it I really am going to grab whatever is simple. Which is kind of sad since … Continue reading Shirred Eggs – breakfast bowls
I have been crazy busy this last week with working on a design consulting gig I was honored to be asked to do. This would be my first paid design job but I have given my friends over the years much advice on how to update and refresh their place for an update or a sale, pick paint colors, choose flooring, countertops you name it. … Continue reading Blueberry muffin – scone
Last night I was watching the last season of The Great British Baking show and the task was to make 2 different flavor profile quiche. I know this might come as a shock but I have never made quiche before; I know what is my damage. Honestly I haven’t really had any that blew my skirt up; if you get my drift. They have been … Continue reading Ham, Broccoli and the Cheesiest Quiche
Here is another thing to do with leftover mashed or smashed potatoes. I know like that’s a thing it usually is in my house only because I tend to make way too many; pretty much all the time.

I am getting ready to leave for vacation and will be away for two Sundays and I was worried that I would not have Wifi where I am going so yesterday I wrote 3 blogs; just in case.

Sometimes impromptu BBQ’s just happen. It seems in my life; it happens more than it doesn’t; luckily I am pretty used to them; whether throwing or attending. I can pull together a side or two fairly effortlessly sometimes with the help from a few key ingredients. This happened to us just yesterday; friends invited us over for a BBQ dinner and a fire. I spent … Continue reading Super Simple Potato Salad – just in time for summer
This week I found a new found respect for my cast iron skillet. Don’t get me wrong I have used it many times for certain dishes, mainly something to do with chicken. I actually like to use it on my gas grill for beer can chicken, it is very sturdy and I don’t have to use my nice pans on the grill which tend to … Continue reading Spinach Bacon and Cheese Breakfast Skillet
