An Amazing (Chocolate) and Easy Dessert!
My career in higher education administration began at a community college that happened to be my alma mater, and one of the best things that happened during my time there (other than meeting my future husband), was meeting my friend Kari. We embarked on many productive projects during our time there, many with some very Continue reading

The BEST Fried Rice Ever!!! Click here to save some $$$$
On an airplane once again, with time to share the yummy meal that we had after a long Monday following a really fun weekend. We all know how easy it is to grab Chinese (or anything from the deli) to go from your local grocer. And, it’s not really that expensive, so admittedly we do Continue reading

Want juicier pineapple??
I didn’t learn this little trick until a few years ago, so if you’re way ahead of me, apologies. A friend, Alyson (an awesome Occupational Therapy instructor), told me to twist, yes TWIST off the top of the pineapple. (I had always chopped it off with a knife). Like this: One you have removed the Continue reading

A great restaurant, with friends, and an awesome find!
By now you probably know that I LOVE blue cheese. When MB grills steaks, I frequently brew up a little blue cheese “butter” which may consist of either a little butter or cream cheese with blue cheese mixed in. When you put a dollop of that on top of a perfectly seasoned fillet or ribeye, Continue reading

Delicious and Easy Salad and Sandwich Recipe
I’m not sure if I’ll ever get my friend Gina on here, so in lieu of that, I’m posting a couple of my favorite things she has made recently. Not a huge fan of raw broccoli, but the ingredients in this salad are sweet and crunchy, and who doesn’t love ANYTHING with bacon in it. Continue reading

Delicious Mushroom Pea Risotto
I had always wanted to try my hand at risotto (arborio rice) because I love it in the few restaurants that I’ve partaken of it. I ran across a version of this recipe, and with a little hesitation, MB and I decided to try it one night. It was one of those things that we Continue reading

The BEST Buttermilk Brownies
I believe that many people also call this Texas Sheet Cake or a variety of other names, but a key ingredient is BUTTERMILK, so I’m sticking with this Baker family favorite. Brice loves these, and since he’s coming in town to rope this weekend, I thought I’d brew up a little treat to send home Continue reading

Easy Crunchy Chicken Salad
I am not a traditional Chicken-Salad-Sandwich-Eater. My mom used to make it and we would eat it on Wheat Thins. Yum. So, I’ve kinda upped the ante over the years and added some crunchiness, and it’s really good as a sandwich, or with good ol’ Wheat Thins. MB doesn’t care for yard bird (chicken) but Continue reading

The BEST Cheesy Potato Casserole
My very favorite hashbrown casserole, or cheesy potatoes, is what you are served at Cracker Barrel Restaurant. Cheesy, yummy and crispy on top. I tried for years to replicate it, and one recipe even had me put beef broth ??? in it. (it was pretty good, though). However, I’ve developed this delicious stand-by and my Continue reading

Streamlined Strawberry Pie!
I had mentioned in an earlier post that the strawberries now available are super sweet, so when it was 70 degrees the other day, it seemed like a Strawberry Pie day! I originally made this pie, then changed it up a little bit, and it’s so easy and quick. I see those containers of strawberry pie Continue reading
