Sam’s Club Simply Delicious Meal Challenge {Recipe: Asian Style Pork Loin}

December 14, 2011

My fourth child… the cute yet drives me up the wall one…has made me hate grocery shopping. In fact, I pretty much can’t stand going out in public with her. She’s my fit thrower. My “I don’t want to be in a cart… I want to walk”, independent, opinionated, challenging, one. Love her dearly, but [...]

Room to Breathe {Recipe: Red Beans and Rice}

October 10, 2011

You may have noticed I was a bit grumpy last week. I would share the reason why with you, but it is long and drawn out and involves a 5 year old screaming hysterically all the way to school and to her classroom about a water bottle. That’s how I started my birthday and it [...]

Hass Avocado Recipe Contest {Recipe: Beef Tostadas}

September 27, 2011

The Gift of Time {Recipe: Lemon Pepper Shrimp Over Pasta}

A Pasta Discovery {Recipe: Rustic Baked Rigatoni}

February 25, 2011

I know… I know… stop talking about the darn homemade pasta, right? I’m sorry! I just can’t help it. When I made homemade pasta for the first time last week, it was kind of a moment for me. I looked back at my Hamburger Helper days many moons ago and marveled at how far I [...]

Making Homemade Fresh Pasta Noodles

February 21, 2011

Several months ago, my husband gave me the gift of a KitchenAid pasta maker attachment. To be honest with you, I was excited, but a little intimidated. I’m not sure why, but making your own pasta just seemed like it would be quite the process. I’ve made my moms homemade egg noodles for her delicious [...]
