This is why I don’t like baking… with cooking you can ad lib. Baking… not so much! There’s a big difference between baking powder and baking soda. A teaspoon of this and a teaspoon of that could be waaaayyyy different than a teaspoon and a tablespoon. Sure, the same could be said when cooking. But, with…
What Feels Like the end is Often the Beginning
I saw this this afternoon on the Today Show’s Instagram. I needed this today. “What feels like the end is often the beginning.” As you hopefully know by now, I try to be positive. But, there are some days where it just might be a little harder to coax it out than others. Feeling a…
So Happy to Spend a Little Time Together
After several months of a hectic schedule we will finally have a three day weekend off together this week! The anticipation is growing! On the agenda- relaxing, catching up on some needed sleep, eating, having some drinks, seeing some friends, some mini puppy adventures, eating, and eating. Haha… give me credit for being honest. I’m…
A Little Preparation Can Go A Long Way
Sunday was going to be hurried, jam-packed, and a little tiring. But, we knew we still wanted to have our Sunday night dinner since we’d be together. So, that’s where a couple hours on a rainy Saturday come in handy! A little preparation can go a long way! This is true in many important things…
Why Are You Always Laughing?
I was watching my little nephew for a couple hours the other day. We went to the beach a little where we rolled in the sand and ran in and out of the waves. We then drove the “Bat Mobile (A.K.A. my car) back and hung out in the “Bat Cave (A.K.A my house)” with…
A Cool Treat
It is hot this week… not complaining at all, sooo much better than winter! Definitely ice cream weather. But, we try not to eat too much of that. So, the next best thing…. BANANAS! No, seriously, Banana “Ice Cream” is a real cool treat and it does closely mimic the real thing. I’m serious about…
A Sandwich is a Great Way to Re-Purpose Leftovers!
Dinner was going to utilize the eggplant cutlets from our Eggplant Parmesan the other night. We wanted to make some kind of sandwich, but switch it up a little from the parm version. A sandwich is a great way to re-purpose leftovers! I was in the area so stopped by Joe Leone’s- our local Italian…
Whole Roasted Cauliflower
A whole roasted cauliflower tastes just as impressive as it looks on the table! It takes some time to make, but is a really simple process. Preheat the oven to 425 and fill a small pyrex or other oven safe dish about half-way with water. This is important to keep the moisture locked in the…
Pizza Night
It’s great when C gets home a little early on a Saturday! It’s really great when we make it a pizza night!!! That was this Saturday for us. And even though the forecast called for showers we still were pumped! At least we were going to be together. We briefly debated if we should order…
Summer Cocktails and Sunshine
I’ll be honest, I know how to work a wine opener, twist off a cap, pull up a tab, and even pop open a cork. However, I am no bartender. Usually, when it comes time to make a cocktail (our old standby is a Hendrick’s martini with blue cheese stuffed olives), C is on duty. …
