Recipe Revisited: Steak and Sweet Potato Tostadas
Well, I don’t know if you guys remember this or not, but a while back we made Sweet Potato Tostadas with Chicken. It was a big hit around this house, as I hope it was around yours. We decided that we would revisit this recipe, make any necessary tweaks, and replace the chicken with […]
Mocha Orange Frappuccinos
No, this is not my rendition of a “Zoolander” favorite. If you don’t know what this means, then please please just watch the movie. So anyway, orange and chocolate is one of my favorite combinations on the planet, and although pumpkin frappuccino/latte/coffee season is upon us, I thought that I’d indulge in something just […]
Fresh Peach Salad with Peach Vinaigrette
So, let’s highlight the flavors of summer just ONE more time before the season comes to an end; and make a fresh salad where the peach is the star! You really have to savor these moments! They will be gone in a jiffy. Did I just say “jiffy?” OH my. Anyway, I really loved […]
Penne with Mushroom Cream Sauce
This penne with mushroom cream sauce is one of those glorious recipes I have saved for all of you to enjoy while we are on our little road trip. At this time, I’m sure I’ll be basking in the beauty that is Wyoming and hopefully I’m having a fabulous time! Don’t worry, I’ll fill […]
Labor Day Picnic Round Up

As Summer draws to a close (kind of — we still have a little less than a month left), Labor Day is like the “last hurrah” for most of us. It allows for one last “event” to celebrate all things Summer. I personally love Labor Day, and it’s not just because my birthday SOMETIMES […]
Chopped Salad with Garlic and Honey Vinaigrette
Well, to put things lightly, we’ve been eating a lot of crap lately. I mean I love cheese and pulled pork and cookies and so on, but sometimes it just gets to be too much. I could even feel the “weight on my shoulders” this morning on my run, and trust me, it was […]
BBQ Pulled Pork Pizza
Please don’t judge me. I know, I know…pulled pork once again. What can I say? There are literally only two of us living here (if you don’t count Cilantro — we try to keep him as far from people food as we possible can). A pork shoulder goes a LONG way, and it’s not […]
Pulled Pork Hot Dogs with Broccoli Slaw
So we’ve decided to go back down this lovely road called “pulled pork road” once again. We had a pork shoulder just hanging out in the freezer, so it was about that time. The problem with trying to feed two people with one pork butt (or pork shoulder — same thing) is that you […]
Fresh Peach Ice Cream with Caramel
I find that ice cream brings joy to just about anyone (unless you are allergic to dairy =( this is sad — there are cool alternatives though!), even if that dreaded Monday is upon us. I thought this ice cream was the perfect recipe to share on this beautiful Sunday, especially since the end […]
