Boy, laying floor was killer. Managed to smash my pinky with a hammer. Luckily, it's not broken. It looks pretty nasty, though. I haven't finished the flooring yet, so I will be working another couple of days. In the meantime, I have to make dinner. I chose something simple this week with my favorite ingredient, [...]
Things are ramping up around here in terms of our new house. I get to spend two days off working on laying flooring that Tony hasn't been able to do. To be fair, very few people can lay the Trafficmaster laminate floor from Home Depot. It doesn't like to click together and it's kinda flimsy. [...]
I have made beef stew hundreds of times. It's my go to when I don't feel like cooking, but I can dump some ingredients in a crock pot and make something delicious. When you make beef stew, you probably make a version of Beef Bourguignon. That is a beef stew with wine at the base. [...]
I have plenty of desserts right now. Making another batch of something would be overkill. I thought it would be good to do a single serving recipe. When you want something quick. I searched high and low for a recipe. Something besides the same brownie in a mug or yellow or chocolate cake in a [...]
This week has been off the charts busy. I don't have a lot of time to cook. I'm back working on my house. This week it's fixing floors. Last week's dish was wonderful, but it took a while to make. Look no further than Eating Well for a recipe for Trinidadian Pelau with Chicken to [...]
I found this recipe as I was browsing through news articles. I stopped because of the recipe and stayed because of the great story behind it. Melissa Vickers came up with this recipe to help her grandfather satisfy his sweet tooth as well as get him to eat something healthier. Looking at the original recipe [...]
I had other plans on what I was going to cook this week. I have some turkey legs I need to use up. I am still working through some meat that was in the broken freezer. I was originally going to do chicken and dumplings. I still will. However, I watched an episode from Middle [...]
I've made pumpkin desserts and cranberry desserts. I have not made a dessert with both pumpkin AND cranberry. If they are both good on their own, maybe they would be great together. This is what I plan to make. I got the idea when I came across a recipe for Pumpkin and Cranberry Cake from [...]
I will admit I have an ulterior motive for this recipe. My extra freezer is on the fritz and I am in need to use up some pork that was in it. It also got a little freezer burned, so I needed something that had some punch. I found a recipe from My Heart Beets [...]
This is a recipe for a cookie I have never heard of. We've all make cornbread in all of its forms, but I haven't made a corn cookie. I was intrigued by the concept. Going through the recipe I noticed one thing, most of the corn flavor comes from a can of creamed corn. Sounds [...]
