I am sending a copy of this post to my brother. The reason for this is he is a die hard pumpkin pie lover. He would rather have a pumpkin pie on his birthday than cake. His birthday is in August, when baking a pumpkin pie would be a little hard to do. It's still [...]
To say I love Beef Stroganoff is an understatement. When I was a kid, I almost always chose this dish as my dinner on my birthday. I wouldn't turn it down today, either. Why do I love this dish so much? It is creamy, beefy, and filling. I've made many different versions of this dish, [...]
I love pie, but outside of Thanksgiving, you won't see me making one from scratch. It's too much work. The pie crust is finicky and the slices can not come out evenly for calorie counts. Pies like lemon meringue are even more work. Making a crust and a meringue is a lot. I think I [...]
I am not from the Southern US. You can probably tell by the recipes I post. Even those in the north do enjoy southern fare. Buttermilk fried chicken, hot chicken, gumbo, jambalaya, and many others. However, there is a beloved dish that I was not aware of until recently, and that's bog. The dish consists [...]
When I had birthdays as a kid, there were only two options for my treat: raspberry pie and ice cream or ice cream cake. I had ice cream cake a lot when I was older. It was the perfect blend of cake and ice cream. Baskin Robins got a lot of money from us through [...]
Life has continued to be busy around here. Paint is going up on the walls of the new house as well as the showers almost being finished. I'm also tackling an oil change with a very difficult to remove oil plug. I am a girl who works on her own cars. Granted, don't ask me [...]
This recipe is something I wanted to make for a long time. This one has a back story. I started downhill skiing at 21 months and have been doing it most of my life. When I was a kid, my dad and I would take trips up north to ski together. We ended up eating [...]
This is a recipe I developed from the fact I had a bunch of chicken bones left over. I do a lot of food prep, including baking chicken breast and pork tenderloin so it is ready to eat throughout the week. Normally I buy boneless skinless breasts, but all they had were bone-in. So I [...]
This dessert is one last hurrah before it gets too warm to use the oven. I wanted a challenge to see if I could take something that contains something as sweet as bananas and bring down the sugar level to something more manageable. Also, it just looked really good. Who doesn't love a good crumble [...]
Michigan is warming up, kinda. Well, we seem to have one day that feels almost like Summer, then the next a bit of frost. Tony says Mother Nature got April and May mixed up this year. I agree. Things are moving along around here. Tony is starting work on a documentary project. He has been [...]
