Pumpkin Spice Granola
Day 2 of 10 Days of Pumpkin is all about breakfast. I think I go through more granola than any other food out there. I love the stuff. What I love even more is how creative you can get when making it! It can be sweet or salty; spicy or plain; with or without […]
Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies
Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies…with ginger snaps. I think my favorite part of this time of year is all the warm ingredients you get to start using that you couldn’t use over the summer. The summer is great for 100 million reasons, but the thought of even turning the oven on is just plain scary. Even […]
Baked Meatball Sandwiches
By the time this post is published our vacation will be nearing it’s end. I’m just going to go out on a limb here and say that I will be sad. It’s always sad when vacations end, but oh well. I’m sure I will have tons of stories to share. Let’s talk meatballs. Meatballs […]
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 […]
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 […]
