Sweet & Tangy Ribs

I always love the days leading up to a holiday weekend.  Most people have some extra time off and are happy and excited and full of anticipation for special plans.  My house is no exception and when it comes to the fourth of July, we get especially giddy!  Our town spends three…

Garden Salsa: Fast, Easy, Fresh!

As I have previously mentioned, Mexican food is not my favorite cuisine. My husband does not share this opinion. Also, his birthday was this week.  Do you know what this means?  It means that I suck it up and make him Mexican food because I love him more than I hate cilantro….

Grilled Pork Chops

The first time I ate these my eyes closed and I may or may not have moaned out loud.  Six months later I had them again and rolled my eyes, slammed my hand on the table, and demanded the recipe.  My best friend laughed and said, “It is so easy!  Only a few ingredients.”  If I…

Mexican Rice W/Black Beans: Mexican Food and Marriage

There are certain compromises that everyone makes when they get married. For example, my husband folds his T-shirts a certain way and when our households merged, I was expected to comply with this strange, and to me, ridiculous, rule.  He in turn, hand washes all our knives separately and without complaint because…

Fettuccine with Spinach Alfredo

Sometimes there are certain foods that there just is not any substitute for.  Alfredo is one of them.  If you see a recipe that says low fat alfredo, put it down.  Step away.  Do not give in to the lure of healthy comfort foods.  Don’t get me wrong, I am all for…

Hot Wings My Way

Try new things.  That is my motto this week.  I am always making new things and thankfully, I have been blessed with a family that isn’t picky in the slightest.  The animals will eat anything!  But recently, my weekly menus have lacked anything familiar.  I have been trying recipe after recipe in…

Roast Pork W/Mustard & Peach Glaze

Can  you really have too much of a good thing? That is what I was asking myself as I tried to organize my recipes; an ongoing process that doesn’t ever seem to end.  Seriously, I could hire someone full time to keep them organized and they would never run out of work. …

Oven Roasted Potatoes-AKA Good Lookin’ Man Potatoes

There is an old dutch proverb that reads, “Eat butter first, and eat it last, and live till a hundred years be past.”  I don’t know about you, but this seems to be some great advice. Of course we now know that eating too much butter on a regular basis is a…

Easy Pulled Pork

There are few foods out there that I love more than meat.  Ask my husband!  I usually start in the ‘steak’ section of the menu when we eat out.  I have a hard time eating a meal that doesn’t include meat in some form or another.  I mean I love beef, but…

Three Lemon Chicken

At the moment it is pouring. If that lets up, I will be making grilled chicken for dinner tonight.  Of course, being a true Minnesotan, we can most certainly grill in the rain-or sleet or snow or 30 below temp or a blizzard for that matter, but right now it is raining…
