I have about two gallons of frozen raspberries left after my rather unfortunate foray into the world of stupidly restrictive diets. I don’t use raspberries. I don’t really eat raspberries. Raspberries will stain just about anything so I don’t particularly like for the kids to eat raspberries. Because of all those factors, the raspberries hang… Continue reading Frozen Raspberry Streusel Muffins
One of my favorite things to cook is a roast. Part of it comes from the lazy two-thirds of me but it’s also due to the fact cooking something low and slow develops flavors and you go from having a hunk of meat to having dinner. When I first bring a roast home from the… Continue reading Sunday Dinner Roast with Lawhorns

I don’t like tequila; the smell of it turns my stomach. But I’m always willing to try something new so when one of Sauza’s lovely PR mavens sent me the Valentine’s Day chocolate margarita recipe, I asked if they might be able to send me a sample of the Sauza Silver. The Sauza Silver tequila… Continue reading Sauza Silver Tequila

Roasted chicken is one of those simple dishes a lot of people don’t seem to be able to master. Since whole chickens are a great way of stretching your “meat budget,” it stands to reason you should know how to cook one and cook it well. Ina Garten’s Perfect Roast Chicken is my go-to recipe… Continue reading Perfect Easy Roasted Chicken Recipe
When I was a lot younger than I am now, my mom was given some sourdough starter and she made copious amounts of sourdough bread. One of the best things in the world? Taking a piece of still-warm sourdough bread and burring your nose in it. Trust me. Then the plague hit Mom’s starter and… Continue reading Yogurt Sourdough Starter and Bread Recipe
Earlier this morning I mentioned that brain power is directly proportional to coffee consumption. To further illustrate this, I have created a very scientific graph so you can more easily understand this concept. You’re welcome.
When I first signed up for this project, I was a little excited about it. I was going to not only be reviewing the book, but also following the diet for thirty days and giving away a copy of the book. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. The hook of the Cinch! diet is, “Stop… Continue reading The Cinch! and 5-Day, 5-Food Fast Forward Review
I woke up with a headache which has slowly and/or surely grown in magnitude and a sick stomach that hasn’t been helped by heaps and heaps of yummy, yummy emotional stress. It’s dark and cloudy and rainy out with a hint of snow in the air and with how I was feeling and the way… Continue reading Cupcakes Solve Everything
I got a dutch oven for Christmas from my in-laws and after I almost squished my left foot with the thing, I’ve been looking for things to make in the red behemoth.
