The house is moving along. I am excited that I have a couple of new appliances coming this week. Finally, a working refrigerator that has a water dispenser with ice. No more working on hot days with warm water in my water bottle. I know it's first world problems, but the house gets pretty hot [...]
This weeks recipe came out of sheer curiosity. Flipping through recipes, as I always do, I ran across this one for Cheesy Marinara Beans. I never though about taking white beans and treating them in the spirit of lasagna. And why not? They can be used in that way. The only things I see that [...]
It's been years since I've had an ice cream sandwich. It's not the most gourmet of ice cream treats, but does it really have to be? Considering it's been wicked hot and isn't even July yet, I think this is the perfect time for these. I love them and miss eating them. I can make [...]
Floors, floors and more floors. That's what's been going on at our new house. Tony lays the tile, and I come behind him and clean the tile, grout, and remove the grout haze. The tile floors look great. I am glad we are using tile instead of another type of flooring. Way easier to clean. [...]
I have the last of the peaches to use up. I thought I would do a classic peach pie, but in bar form to make my life easier. It's been busy. More floor is being laid and I have grouting to do. We are getting close to having all of the floors done. We have [...]
I have a five pound bag of frozen peaches to use up. I bought these for Tony, who never got around to eating them. They are taking space in my freezer so I decided to do a couple of peach recipes to get rid of them. This week's recipe is from Taste of Home for [...]
I managed to get a few floors in our new house done during my time off. I'm pleased with the results. If you ever have to lay tile floors, Spin Doctor Tile Leveling System is the way to go (link not sponsored). We don't know what we ever did before these. It made tiling a [...]
Now that I have some wine left over from the last recipe, I wanted to put it to good use. I am also busy this week with laying floors and needed something simple to make. The floors are coming along slowly but surely. We will soon have only one room left to do, and that [...]
Now that I'm back from the conference, I'm worn out. I have a week's worth of work on the house I need to do. I'll be handling this over the next week while I'm on vacation. Maybe after both houses are done and one sold, I can have real vacation. Maybe soon. Oh well. This [...]
I really don't have time to cook this week. With a conference I have to travel to coming up and working on the house, it's just too busy. So I opted for a recipe that could be put together in a flash. Fried rice is one of those dishes that is easy to make and [...]
