It’s that time once again. Time for Secret Recipe Club! This month I was assigned Jaida’s blog Sweet Beginnings. I really enjoyed looking through the wide variety of recipes on her site, but these Baked Garlic-Beer Fries grabbed my attention almost immediately! As you know, I make roasted potatoes all the time, and I […]
Read More...Every year since I was little, my mom has made stuffing for Thanksgiving. And I’ve never eaten it. A couple years ago, she made it and the hubby LOVED it. The following year, it was our year to stay here for Thanksgiving and even though we didn’t see my parents, the hubby requested my mom’s […]
Read More...It’s time again for another Foodie Penpals reveal day! This month, I received my package from my girl Jordan over at Food, Sweat & Beers. Jordan is HILARIOUS and I look forward to reading her posts because they usually make me laugh out loud at least once. Plus, she writes about beer…so that’s awesome. Also…she’s […]
Read More...Hi Friends! Sorry about my brief little blogging hiatus over the holiday weekend. I needed some time away from my computer 🙂 I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! Let’s play catch-up shall we? I spent the Wednesday before Thanksgiving going crazy in the kitchen! I started my morning at the grocery store. I […]

If you know me at all, you know I’m my own harshest critic. I can almost always find something wrong with […]
Read More...So, the making of these muffins was a bit of trial and error. I bought a bag of gingersnaps last week and I’ve been doing some experimenting….I made some bars that had a gingersnap crust (still working on those) and I made these muffins. The first time I made them, I used this recipe, which […]
Read More...After much anticipation, here begins the long awaited Hubby guest post. Today, I’m the boss, and I’m taking over the Lean Green Bean. Lindsay has been asking me to contribute something for about a year now, and inspiration has struck! I’m a bit of a renaissance man. I’ve always enjoyed figuring out how things work, and spent […]
Read More...Welcome to snack time, my friends. I did a post about sweet potato hummus last year. But it was lame, and written before I started making it once a week. I pretty much consider myself an expert now, so I thought we’d have a little do-over, ok? Good. I can’t really remember exactly when I […]
Read More...A few months ago, I made this couscous and never told you about it. THEN, this weekend I came across this recipe: and THEN, I had the brilliant idea to do a combination of sorts.
