(I apologize for the funky spacing, I wrote this in Word Pad and it’s not transferring nicely.) As you probably know, the season finale of The Bachelor is TONIGHT!!! This is a little bittersweet for me because that means no more bachelor mondays for a while, (sigh) but I suppose that’s life. 😉 The final […]
One of my go-to meals when I don’t have a lot of time, or when I just don’t want to cook, which is like, always, is this chicken and dumplings recipe. It’s SO easy, my whole family enjoys it, and you can substitute the chicken with leftover thanksgiving turkey if you’re trying to use […]

I don’t cook a lot with Cauliflower. But, The Hubby bought a couple heads of it a while back with the intention of making a cauliflower cheesy bake dish, which is pretty dang tasty, but he never got around to it. So, I needed to figure out what to do with said cauliflower and after […]
So after my total failure at the fair, I was hesitant to make this pie. But, I decided to plunge ahead and just “go for it.” Plus, the original recipe was found on Oprah.com, and if Oprah approves, then it must be good. Right? I’m not much of a pie person, but one of my best pals […]
I made these zucchini boat pizzas for dinner recently and they were a HUGE hit. Heeeeyoooge. You are basically eating a whole zucchini (Goooooo veggies!) and they are super tasty too. I found the […]
