I often have an intended meal in mind for the day and end up changing it five minutes before I start cooking. One of the nice things about being a work at home parent is that I have the leisure of doing things like that. Sometimes I change my mind due to time constraints (we …
From what it looks like upon my brief search into the history of authentic buffalo wings, it is no different than many great legends – the details are disputed. One thing is certain, this legendary dish graces the menu of nearly every restaurant/bar where I’ve ever dined and I’m willing to bet that nearly every …
My husband requested chicken fried chicken for dinner this week so I made it a couple nights ago. It’s one of those meals that either turns out fantastically or horribly, depending on the day. There is no rhyme or reason with chicken fried chicken and my ability to cook it. This time it turned out …
My husband brought home a couple pounds of venison sausage the other day. It was a gift from his coworker, who had it made from a deer he shot while hunting. I grew up eating deer because many of my uncles are avid hunters and I’ve never been scared of it or grossed out. I …
I am rested and refreshed after a whirlwind trip to Ireland over the weekend. I’ll have you all know that I minded my pints and quarts and didn’t trip in my heels when meeting the Irish President.

I make cookies about once a month. The kids love them, we love them, what’s not to love? These may have edged the Nutella Stuffed Chocolate …
It’s almost election time! And I survived Hurricane Sandy! And my kids went another Halloween not having any idea that they’re missing out on a crap load of junk candy that will rot their teeth and send them bouncing off walls and knocking heads into each other. I went to a local orchard market a …
Source: statigr.am via Amber on Pinterest I wouldn’t consider myself a collector. I don’t collect coins, baseball cards, autographs, or stamps. We do have a few hundred unique or rare bottles of craft beer decorating a ledge around our sunroom dining area and above the kitchen cabinets. I consider that more a love …
Whoever thought one could make a political statement with meatloaf? Well, here I am and I’m going to do it. I am not a Republican. I do think one can become pregnant if raped and I do think Adam and Steve should be allowed to get married. I mean, if we’re talking about the conservative …
