Looking at this photo makes me wish I was making these again tonight. YUM. A bee has been trapped between one of my kitchen windows and the screen since early this morning when Paige and Will spotted it. We have no idea how it got into the house, and I have no clue what to [...]

When I talked about cooking from magazines last week, I mentioned this recipe from Cooking Light. We liked it so much that I planned to make it again this week — totally a sign of a good recipe. (I didn’t make the suggested sides this time though … I was the only one who enjoyed [...]
Homemade Mild Taco Seasoning

A few months back, Shawn looked at the ingredients in the Taco Kit that we always bought and found a few that we try not to eat. Scary. Who knew that such unnatural things could make their way into spice packets and crispy shells? Since then, we have switched to more natural, organic shells. But [...]
Sundried Tomato and Red Pepper Meatballs, and an Easy-Peasy Appetizer
Posted on March 5, 2010 - Filed Under Beef, Recipes | 4 Comments
These aren’t your average meatball. Stuffed with bits of red pepper, sundried tomato and fresh parsley, these really don’t need anything more than a toothpick (or a fork, if you must). But, when you take a bit of fresh mozzarella and tomato and top them with half a meatball, it’s awesome. breathtaking. orgasmic. indescribably delicious. [...]
Our Favorite Beef with Broccoli Recipe

What makes a go-to recipe for you? It’s something personal, something that really depends on how you cook and how much you really enjoy cooking. For me, go-to recipes have to produce dishes that make you crave seconds and eye leftovers. But they also need to be low-fuss. This recipe fits the bill for me. [...]

Tacos hold a very special place in my heart. Serious. Ever since I was little, something about the crunchy little shells filled with spicy meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato and hot taco sauce just made my mouth so darn happy. I mean sure, you can have better, more authentic tacos — and I enjoy those too [...]

When the air hits that certain cold temperature and you can see puffs of breath whenever you go outside, you know it’s time for hearty meals. You know, ones that will warm you from the inside out like stews, roasts, chowders … and also chili. I love chili. It reminds me of ski lodges, chair [...]
Slow-Cooker BBQ Joint Beef Brisket Recipe
Posted on October 14, 2009 - Filed Under Beef, cookbooks | 7 Comments
Making food from scratch is one of those things that I take pride in. Pancakes? We have ‘em at least once a week, always from scratch. Biscuits? When I get the hankering I turn to a great recipe that I found on The Perfect Pantry. Cookies? Always from scratch. Macaroni and cheese? Usually from scratch. [...]
Blue Cheese Stuffed Burgers

It was a steamy, hot day today. It was one of those days where you just don’t know what to do with yourself. The kids and I ran errands, took a walk (what was I thinking?!?) and ran through the sprinkler. Because I wanted to. Finally, we gave in and collapsed onto the couch with [...]
Thoughts on Eating Local
Posted on July 28, 2009 - Filed Under Beef, Eat Local, Farm Fresh | 5 Comments
Mmm. That is a locally grown and butchered Delmonico steak, hot off the grill. The cow is from a farm run by a family with a young child and I buy it directly from the mom at the farmers market. I. Love. That. Frankly, I don’t write about eating locally raised and grown food nearly [...]
