I am so confused. Let me start this story, and then you will understand why… Yesterday was Thanksgiving and even though it was just my immediate family (hubby and kids…and I STILL felt the need for a Snickers martini at the end of the day) I wanted to do up a big traditional Thanksgiving feast….

Turkey Cutlets with Smokey Black Bean Sauce
I am like a kid around the holidays, especially when it comes to the food. I look forward to the delicious feast of goodies that is usually bountiful this time of year. Pumpkin pie, frosted sugar cookies, delicious rolls, roasted turkey, etc. I love the hearty food of the season. The problem is, I…
Halloween Recap
Halloween is over, and the sugar highs are gone. Would you believe that we haven’t even gotten into our candy yet? The kids had a couple of pieces last night, but other than that we have not touched it. The Halloween Fairy comes this weekend and after that the candy will be out…

Kelly and Kelly Only
Soon after Kindergarten started for Jacob, Kelly was walking around the house acting a little blue. When I asked her what was wrong she said, "You know… I am getting really tired of everything being about Jacob." With Jacob’s surgery, and Jacob playing baseball, and Jacob starting Kindergarten, she was right. Everything lately had…
Asian Ribs with Five-Spice Rub and Hoisin Glaze
If you are from Kansas City, like I am, then you can attest to this. One can’t go anywhere in the city and talk about food without someone bringing up barbecue. The debate typically is who has the best? Is it KC Masterpiece, Arthur Bryants, Jack Stack, etc? My favorite Kansas City barbecue, by…
Unoriginal
I am so unoriginal. I know that many of you out there are great creators of recipes. Yes – I throw things together and create some yummy meals, but when I do that I never write it down or would not be able to recreate exactly what I did to perfection. I have always…
Meatballs Need Friends
Oven baked and oh so good, this recipe is easily adaptable and a keeper! Why is it that all that I can think about when writing this post is the You Tube video of Faith Hill recently telling off a concert groupie for groping her husband? I know, I have the mind of a…
