Well, cooking dinner last night was an interesting affair. I had it all planned out in my head. It was going to be perfect and it is sort of one of my fallback recipes when we’re low on food and energy. Easy peasy, right? Oh my goodness am I good at making a mess ofContinue reading “Dinner Was a Disaster”

Quick Dinners and a New Way to Snack
A variation of Chicken and Waffles. I believe this is a bit more along Southern style lines with the breaded chicken. I think it’s usually fried chicken. I’m not an expert. What I’ve come to know as Chicken and Waffles in Pennsylvania is shredded chicken in gravy over mashed potatoes on top of a waffle.Continue reading “Quick Dinners and a New Way to Snack”
A Little Spice
I don’t mess with my morning coffee. Medium strength coffee with some French vanilla creamer and I’m a happy girl. Afternoon coffee, however, is a different story. Since buying a coffee grinder and a frother, I have begun experimenting a bit more. This one is for the Christmas season. I use my oatmeal cookie oatContinue reading “A Little Spice”
What’s For Dinner?
Ah, breakfast. It’s my favorite meal any time of day. Naturally, scrambled eggs are one of my go to’s, but I do enjoy pancakes. I just hate cooking them one at a time, or a couple of small ones a batch. Then keeping them warm in the oven, while starting the next round. So IContinue reading “What’s For Dinner?”
More Kitchen Witchery
I’ve been in need of an apron and what better time to get one than the season that brings out the Kitchen Witch in me. Of course I had to get oven mitts to match. Belle really is turning into quite the little helper. She was great at making the salad with me. I heatedContinue reading “More Kitchen Witchery”
Search for Inspiration
It started with my husband getting the news that he’s ever so slightly pre-diabetic amongst a few other health concerns. (This was when he was in the hospital for two TIA strokes a month or so ago). Things that could be eased or managed with a better diet. I’m the main cook in the house,Continue reading “Search for Inspiration”
Trying to do Some Fall Cooking
Now that the weather is turning cooler, my cooking mojo is beginning to return. We had BBQ pulled pork with steamed asparagus the other night. I neglected to take pictures. It was quite delicious though. Then, grilled cheese with bacon and tomato bisque. I bake bacon in the oven to avoid a lot of messContinue reading “Trying to do Some Fall Cooking”
Back to Cooking
It’s been nice feeling inspired to cook again and get creative with our food. I’ve even started doing a little bit of yoga again. Food and fitness go hand in hand for me. If my food is not on track, I can’t get my exercise done. It helps when I find produce that inspires me.Continue reading “Back to Cooking”
Just a Few Dishes
One of my favorite breakfasts! I have to admit though, I don’t usually eat until brunch-time. It takes a few cups of coffee for me to be awake enough. And then I make myself something like this! It’s left-over sweet potato hash with peppers and an egg scrambled in. Super easy! It keeps me goingContinue reading “Just a Few Dishes”
Kitchen Magic
Chinese style stir-fry is always a favorite in this house. I’ve started stocking up on dry lo mein and rice noodles for those nights when I need to whip up something quickly with as little effort as possible. I keep chicken nuggets or tenders and frozen vegetables stocked up in the fridge too. I threwContinue reading “Kitchen Magic”
