  • Crab….avocado…got your attention yet?

    I had this appetizer as my meal a year or so ago at the Saltgrass Steak House while on a work trip in Westminster, Colorado. No words to describe how great it was.  Not sure why I got inspired this… Continue reading

  • Crepes Divan – impress your friends!

    I recently hosted co-workers for a bridal shower lunch for a colleague, and we had a really nice time.  Yes, we did have flowers and a tablecloth, but under the tablecloth was our KSU beer pong table.  Yep, classy.  Hey,… Continue reading

  • Not cold enough for chili, but yes!

    Found this recipe inside a Hy Vee magazine last year, and it’s our new fave.  Combines ingredients that I always have on hand, and a little spicy but definitely not over the top.  Really good, so I wanted to share.… Continue reading

  • Cranberry Glazed Sweet Potatoes

    I scored this recipe off The Kitchen, thank you Katie Lee, and although it was touted as a Thanksgiving and holiday recipe, I made it tonight and we enjoyed it with marinated, grilled flank steak (amazing).  This was super easy and… Continue reading

  • Yummy Seafood Boil

    It’s become kind of a tradition to do a fall shrimp boil, and you can easily add in crab, scallops, crawfish (yech!) or any seafood of your liking.  My hubster is the master chef on this one….I do all the… Continue reading

  • Oriental Crunch Salad

    I fixed this recently for a bridal lunch and a shrimp boil, and it was an instant hit both times.  Super easy because you make pretty much everything ahead of time, and just throw it together when ready to serve!  My… Continue reading

  • Easy Cinnamon Rolls

    I FINALLY found my recipe for super quick and easy cinnamon rolls using boiled sour cream.  You don’t even have to let them rise!  You can actually whip up a batch of these in an hour. I challenge you to… Continue reading
