Homemade pasta
Homemade pasta and I have had a love hate relationship. The first time I made it it came out beautifully. The second time I was extremely pregnant and attempting to make homemade lasagna noodles. The afternoon ended with me going to the grocery store covered head to toe in flour to buy noodles because the …
One Year Anniversary Party
I meant to post on Friday but see there was this party and I was kinda busy… Then I meant to post something Saturday morning but was terribly busy…. So I am sorry. But not really. Because it was totally worth it to miss getting a post up. Thank you all so very very much …
Spanish Tortilla
I may or may not have bitten off more than I can chew with this upcoming shindig. There are about four or five lists on four or five different pieces of paper floating around my kitchen right now. It is the only way I am managing to keep myself organized. In the midst of all …
Earl Grey Cake with Rhubarb Cream Cheese Glaze
When I plan a shindig and pick out recipes frequently I will include recipes I have never made before. I don’t even make a test run before hand. I am not trying to brag but 95% of the time I can tell from reading a recipe if it will a) work and b) what it …

Beef with Broccoli
Remember a few weeks ago when I made chinese take out at home? Delicious baby bok choi and mushroom in a not so chinese beer sauce. Yum. Here is my most recent foray into chinese cooking. When I was working I had a weakness for Panda Express. There was one within walking distance of my …
Planked Salmon
Sometimes you burn dinner. Sometimes that is ok. In this instance it was more than ok. Have you ever planked fish? It is simply cooking fish on a wooden board. In our case we used the charcoal BBQ and had cedar boards. I love eating fish but am often at loss for how to …
Sausage Potato and Spinach Soup
The first time I made this recipe it was inhaled so quickly two things happened. First, I didn’t manage to get pictures taken to share with you. Second, I flat out forgot how I made it. Around here most meals and cooking is planned around what we have on hand, what I feel like making, …
