Why This Blog? Meal Ideas & Planning so You Don’t Have to!

Cookbook Haze. Does looking at all your cookbooks make you dizzy? This week someone asked me “With all the food blogs out there, why yours?” That is a good question! There are so many wonderful food blogs out there with great ideas, why do another food blog? There are several reasons I wanted to do this. First, I love The Process (see below) and want to help. To me it is relaxing to sit down and plan out the meals we will have. I scour cookbooks, the internet and magazin

What’s for Dinner? Meatless Monday BBQ Veg Burrito Bowl, Rosemary Chicken & Sweet Potatoes

This week I was sick. I managed to make three meals and then spent the rest of the week sucking down hot tea with honey and lemon and inhaling essential oils. I stressed over coming up with extra meals for all of you and then decided the best thing is just to tell it like it is. Let’s face it, we all have weeks like this or weeks where there is just too much going on. When you have weeks like that and manage to get even one meal made and on the table I applaud you! Judge

Do you remember what pinning something to your board used to look like? The picture above is my non-electronic board, still in use. However, I have moved into the modern age and have a great time Pinning awesome ideas for meals, dreams, DYI things, etc to my boards. Pinterest is great, mostly! It can suck you into it and then hours will pass before you know it. But, they are fun hours. This week I thought I’d try some of those yummy Pinterest meals we all pin to our bo

What’s for Dinner? Taking it Old School – 5 Meals from the 1969 Better Homes and Gardens

When I was 20 I was given some new cookbooks and I found that they had great ideas, but often said things like “open a jar and add….” I wanted to actually cook, not open a jar, where were the recipes! I remembered the great sweet and sour sauce that my mom made when my brother and I were kids, I could drink that stuff. I wanted to make things like that. So I asked my mom and she said the recipe had com from the “Old Better Homes and Garden New Cookbook” and I went on a sea

What’s for Dinner? A Taste of Great Britain: Shepherds Pie, Moussaka, Curry, & Steak &

There are a few things that you can’t get here in the USA or they are hard to find; Pimms which is an alcoholic drink they love over there, lemonade which is fizzy and not as sweet as ours, a good pasty shop just to list a few. So for those things, I guess I’ll have to go back. oh, and Primark and Marks & Spencer, and Pret a Manger and Yo Sushi. and, and, and, ok, ok, I have to go back! But you can make some of the wonderful things we tried. This week’s meals are an attem

Looking like food truck food this week: Sandwiches, Dumplings, Noodles & Soup

Don’t let someone like Anthony Bourdain know this (he is pretty vocal about wanting meat & fat, though if you let him know it wouldn’t matter since we’ve never met and he couldn’t care less what I say), but I really like the challenge of making fatty, rich foods healthier and have no one realize the difference when they eat it, that said I’m all for a little sausage, cream, butter, and bacon too. Balance and moderation are key! I encourage you to make any adaptations you wou

Reviews from the Food Network, Rachel Ray, The French Laundry, & Olive Garden

This week has been a good week for me to remember to practice what I preach. I have taken the time this week to set the table, add special touches, invite friends over and try to make each meal a special even, if it was simple. I don’t always succeed, but there is so much joy in the trying! I hope you will continue or start to give it a try. We really enjoyed this week’ meals and had enough leftover to have friends over to help us finish them off. My friend it calls it th

Reviews: Peruvian Beef, Chili, Tilapia with Brandied Garlic Sauce & More…

I also rarely add flour to my cornmeal, but this is a preference thing. It is often more crumbly with just cornmeal, but so good. Another must and I mean must is a cast iron frying pan. You must heat the pan with oil in it (we use crisco down here, if not lard) and then pour the mixture in and when you hear it sizzle you will know you you’ve done it right.

Reviews: Momofuku, America’s Test Kitchen, Pressure Cooking for Dummies

One of the ways we comfort each other in times of sadness, sickness, and new birth is food, lots of food. Being from the south means you are guaranteed fried chicken, biscuits, sweet tea, and usually deviled eggs. Not to mention lots of pie. This week was no different. Lots of “down home” goodness, cooked and brought with love. Thank you to everyone who took such good care of our family!
