Continue ReadingI am forever looking for new uses for the gifts from my garden, especially as Fall draws near. You can only freeze so much, and lets face it, frozen herbs and veggies just don’t taste as good as when they are fresh. I think anyone who has a garden also shares the same overwhelmed feeling as the tomatoes and basil pile up. I did some kitchen experimenting the other night with some of the items from our garden and came up with a Summer Pasta dish that everyone, even the kids, loved! Even better, we were able to use the…

Continue ReadingIf you’re in the Midwest like me, you are probably sweating to death while reading this. Even though it is hot, and the humidity is at 150%, the reality is Fall is coming. Regardless of the heat I have nothing but Fall comfort foods on my mind. As a child I despised pot roast, but now it is one of those things I crave. It is such a great Sunday dinner and makes great leftovers to bring for lunch or to have during a busy work week. If you are home cooling off, make your Sunday a fun day by…

Continue ReadingI have yet to meet a taco I didn’t like. What is better than savory meats, fresh veggies, and CHESSE in its own little vessel you can eat? Can’t think of many things can you? I am ALWAYS looking for new ways to enjoy tacos. Recently I was at Aldi, my home away from home, and I saw these fabulous little potatoes called Boomer Gold, Creamer Potatoes. Had to have them….. It was then that I remembered a friend I used to work with whose Mom would send these awesome crispy potato tacos to work with him for us to…

Continue ReadingIt’s rare that I miss a meal, obviously. But one meal I never seem to eat is breakfast. This leaves me hungry and crabby by the time lunch rolls around. Desperate to eat I often choose something that isn’t great for me. I decided to make it a personal goal to try to eat something at least somewhat healthy for me in the morning. This is why I created a breakfast bread that anyone can bake, even people who can’t bake well, like me. This breakfast bread is filled with healthy things and it has minimal refined sugar. I was…

Continue ReadingThe family I cook for introduced me to this Marinated Egg concept. What’s not to love about hard boiled eggs soaked in soy sauce and other seasonings? I can’t think of anything. I have been obsessed with farm fresh eggs from the farmer’s market this Summer so I decided to try something new with my eggs and put my own spin on the marinated eggs I devour at work. This recipe is fairly simple, but it does require some special ingredients and some time. If you give it a shot these Marinated Eggs will be your new favorite snack. Here…

Continue ReadingSummer is coming to an end and it seems like everywhere I turn someone is trying to push their excess tomatoes on me. I have been turning down these tomato pushers left and right because…how many tomatoes can you possibly eat? This past weekend Original Tipsy (My Mom) made a fantastic and simple pasta dish that has me kicking myself for not taking those tomatoes. She gave me her recipe and it will have you with an answer to the question “What to do with all those garden tomatoes?” Here is what you will need for the recipe: •2 to…

Continue ReadingA lot of people are not eating carbs anymore. My Keto food blogging friends are blowing up social media with their cheese, veggie and meat recipes and people are loving it. Clearly I am not on the Keto train but I do have an appreciation for it. I often entertain and I know there are going to be times that I need to make food that makes everyone happy so I decided to create a salad for everyone. The salad I came up with is inspired by an Italian Sub Sandwich and can be made two ways with most of…
