Updated: Apr. 29, 2013 9:09 pm

It wasn't my normal frenzy of five recipes this weekend. I can't keep doing that to my health! Sometimes you just have to yield to common sense (not my strong suit) and reign in your silly self! I only managed to make one recipe this weekend, but my youngest daughter joined me and made one… MORE

It's been a while, but I was finally able to get into the kitchen to do some cooking. Something faceless. Sentence fragments. Cool. Anyway, I made four delicious dishes for our dinner today. Though delicious, and complimentary, they did not present well together. It was a very orange, yellow… MORE

It's spring time in the Rockies! The last few days the temps have been in the 60*s. Just lovely! Last night it started snowing. We got the phone call that school was cancelled. What do you do when it snows? Bake cookies, of course. So this afternoon, I got my 8th grade daughter in the… MORE

I saw mention of a life altering food invention somewhere just a day or two ago. Does anyone remember when a couple of months before the Segway was introduced to the market, it was called the most impactful invention since the wheel? Most of us didn't even know what they were talking about… MORE

Updated: Mar. 9, 2013 2:28 am

I've been itching to try one of those faceless frenzy's or other such event. What could not be fun about trying new recipes and then attaching a photo to it? I spent a fair amount of time last weekend looking for good recipes bereft of photographic ID. I've found enough for a month of Faceless… MORE

Flavor. That's what recipes are about, right? Of course! But how to get all the flavors piled into a sandwich and still have something close to the size of my bite and still not squeeze the contents out? For instance, a hamburger. I want lettuce, sweet pickle relish, slice of onion, jalapeno,… MORE

For the Love of Lemons!

Updated: Feb. 18, 2013 6:50 pm

I don't remember when it was that I first fell in love with lemons. Perhaps, it was those delectable lemon sandwich cookies my mom brought along when we all went on a picnic. I would eat them like an Oreo cookie. First, twist the cookie. Second, eat all the lemon cream. Last, chomp the… MORE
