Dinnertime just got easier… Maybe
Everyone knows I like to cook, not for the sake of cooking itself, but because I like to EAT. So I usually cook 2-3 times a day, even when it’s just me. Well a couple of weeks ago, my littlest…
A Healthy & Delicious Greek Meal
On a recent lunch trip to Panera Bread, I disappointed in the very loose interpretation of a Greek salad. You can’t just throw feta cheese on a bed of romaine and call it Greek. Well, I guess technically you could…
Zucchini Parmesan Crisps Recipe (Food Network)
For the last 2 or 3 weeks, we have been missing “meatless Monday”. It’s been more like meatless Wednesday or Thursday. Regardless, we still have to get those veggies in and since I’m always experimenting with new ways to introduce…

Nature’s Bounty
Look what we got from Grandmother’s garden – it’s ’bout to go down (channeling my inner Bey)! This is in stark contrast to my measly little container crops, lol. I’ll get there though…. All in due time!
Some milk and coooookies
I’ve got my signature cake and now I think I’ve got my signature cookie…. Here they are in their simplest form – chewy sugar cookies. These are much easier than my oatmeal cookies but just as addictive. The difference is…
