Jan. 16, 2013 5:14 am

Updated: Feb. 13, 2013 6:56 pm

The game was deep into the 4th quarter when the doorbell rang. I hadn't been expecting anybody so I was both curious & annoyed to be pulled away from the television at this crucial stage of the game. When I opened the door I was handed a pizza by a delivery guy who turned away quickly without… MORE

Updated: Jan. 8, 2013 4:05 pm

Hola AR Friends and Family!! Yes, it’s been some time since I’ve been hanging around this old place. I’ve been re-nesting, making myself crazy with party planning and holiday cooking, and the occasional bout of feeling sorry for myself. Now that the crazy holidays are over, I’ve been doing my MORE

Updated: Jan. 3, 2013 8:19 am

January's theme is...New Year's traditional food from a culture you want to learn more about. I chose Germany, because I don't know alot of German traditions and don't often make German food. It would be interesting to include a brief description of the culture's New Year traditions in the… MORE

Going All Spanish - Not Just Another Sausage Blog

Spanish Frittata with GreensThis is my take on the traditional “Tortilla Espanola” which is not a tortilla as we might think of them, but a frittata. In its most simple incarnation, this dish is potatoes, onions and eggs cooked together in a saute pan until deeply brown on one side and then… MORE

al fresco Fiesta Beans and Rice - an original recipe

Sep. 19, 2012 6:00 pm

Updated: Sep. 28, 2012 1:10 pm

At 3:45am there isn’t a lot on television to watch while I am working out in my basement so it leaves me extra time to think. Extra time to think isn’t always a good thing either as I tend to dwell on things that frustrate me. Being frustrated while I workout isn’t that bad a thing since it… MORE

And HAVE I GOT A CHEESEBURGER FOR YOU! This is a turkey burger full of flavor with a creamy filling inside. Who says that a cheeseburger has to be made of beef and topped with cheddar or american cheese? My cheese of choice in this one-pepperjack, of course. The combination of creamy and… MORE

Leftovers, Better the 2nd Time

Sep. 9, 2012 7:49 pm

Leftover is such a dirty word, so filled with negative connotations. Rarely do I eat something and then want it again in a short period of time. I'm picky like that. My husband is pretty similar in that regard. So the challenge is to dress up leftovers and change them around so it feels like… MORE
