In an effort to prepare in advance for the bridal shower I am planning, I decided to bake the sandwich rolls and freeze them until the party day. It was completely simple to throw together if you have a bread machine. This recipe was recommended by recipezaar.com. The only hands on work that is necessary is shaping […]
Baked Potato & Broccoli Soup
On Tuesday when I was feeling like crap thanks to a bout with some strain of influenza, my stomach was being really finicky, but I decided that some form of soup would be a perfect dinner. I found this recipe at Annie’s Eats and boy am I ever glad I did! It was absolutely perfectly creamy and […]
The One with the Blah
Yesterday was fabulous. Today is…not so much. Yesterday was warm and sunny. Today is chilly and rainy. Yesterday I hung laundry out on the line, dusted & vacuumed, took a long wonderful walk with Amanda and her dog Libby (we’re planning many more lovely walks next week!), and spent the best evening with my husband […]
Corn on the Cob
Typically, my first taste of fresh corn on the cob doesn’t come until late summer…when you can stop at a roadside stand and know they just picked the ears yesterday. However, our trusty fruit and vegetable market had these guys on sale and I couldn’t resist. Sunday afternoon, our lunch consisted of 2 ears of […]
The One with a LOT
What a wonderful weekend! Friday I spent most of my day basking in the sunlight (and subsequently burning my skin). When Kevin arrived home, I was just pulling the homemade pizza from the oven. We enjoyed our dinner on our breezy back porch for the first time since moving here. How glorious! After that, we […]
The One with the Real Life Musical
Britt sent the link to this youtube video to me and let me tell you, I was impressed. This is so cool and super fun. In just 2 practice sessions, over 200 dancers performed a “spontaneous” rendition of The Sound of Music’s “Do, Re, Mi” in Belgium’s central train station. I’m not gonna lie, I […]
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Muffins
One of my favorite finds from the SAFMC Rummage Sale in ’07 was a 5″ deep recipe box categorized and filled with Taste of Home recipe cards (all for $2.00!) I’m a bit skeptical when trying one of these recipes since a few of them have turned out…well…not so good. This one, however, is a […]
Garlic Oregano Roasted Chicken and Vegetables
To prove that I feed my husband more than cookies… This is what I created for our dinner tonight. The recipe is not very precise, but it’s exactly how I did it. If you have questions or clarifications please let me know. The end result was quite delicious and made us both happy. ::before meeting […]
The One with a Crazy Productive Day
For those of you who may be confused by my lingo when I say “crazy productive” I don’t mean crazy, productive day, I mean a very/super productive day. Ok, now that we have that cleared up. I gave my knees a “balistic” break from Jillian (they were getting really really sore) and hopped on […]
Perfect Pizza Crust
Kevin and I are in search of the best pizza dough recipe and we believe we may have found it. Over at Annie’s Eats, I found this recipe. I tried it out last Friday night and I was so impressed with how easy the dough was to work with and how well it cooked up […]
