Remember about 8 weeks ago when I spent a morning preparing meals to freeze? Well they’re still serving us well! On Sunday I pulled a few slices of meatloaf out of the freezer and put them in the fridge to thaw. When I got home from work on Monday, I pulled the slices out and […]
Read More...One of my absolute favorite things about summer is making kabobs on the grill. There’s something about cutting up all of the vegetables that I find very therapeutic. And I love threading them onto the skewers and picking out what pattern they’re going to go in. Ok, so I may be a little weird….but that’s […]
Read More...The hubby and I love to buy bananas at the store. The problem is that they seem to change color SO quickly, that if we’re not totally in the mood to eat them, we usually end up with a few brown ones on the counter. This is usually fine with me because I love banana […]
Read More...Last week while I was reading blogs, I came upon this recipe from Tessa @ Handle the Heat. I’d been looking for something to do with the pork tenderloin I had thawing in the fridge so I thought I’d giving it a whirl using pork instead of beef. I made a spice rub using chili […]

In case you haven’t looked at the calendar lately, it’s already May! You know what that means? Cinco de Mayo is coming up! I thought I should whip up a Mexican-inspired recipe to get […]

Read More...So remember when Erica posted these Jalapeno Cheddar Turkey Burgers? Well, I tried really hard to wait patiently for nice grilling weather so I could make some burgers on the grill….but apparently we’re heading straight into another week of rain, so this weekend I just gave into my craving and made a batch of burgers […]
Read More...“The best chicken I’ve had.” That’s what the hubby said to me last night while eating this. He said “Bean, this is the best chicken I’ve had.” I said, “Ever?” He said, “Yes.” So there you have it. It’s that good, and it couldn’t be easier.
