It took me a while to join the Pinterest bandwagon, I’ll admit. I wasn’t really down with one more time suck. In fact, I’m proud that I’m still quite force-ably limiting myself to about an hour a week in browsing the site. But let it never be said that women aren’t visual creatures, you know …
Fruit Desserts
Remember when I made those delicious pork egg rolls? Well, as James and I rolled them out, we realized we’d have a few extra egg roll wrappers hanging around after we worked through the pork filling. My mind immediately flew back to one of the most incredible desserts I’ve ever had: the Banana and Sea …
Last week was pretty crazy around here. Between celebrating B & B’s anniversary, and dealing with a very sick cat that ended up in the Vet ER for several days, I thought I might lose a little bit of my mind. Milo before he got poorly sick, on his favorite blankie. It used to be …

It’s such fun getting your assignment each month, mentally strolling through what might be a new-to-you blog, finding all the treasures it holds. This month I …
Maybe it’s just me, but the arrival of spring weather has me craving fruity, citrusy desserts. In recent years I’ve developed an increasing love for all things lemon. When I spotted this recipe for Lemonade Cheesecake on Sargento’s website, I knew I had to make it. When it comes to cheesecake, I much prefer fruity …
I’m not much one for pressuring other people in the grocery store about what to buy. Over the years, I’ve become more informed about where my food comes from, and that leads me to make choices that may be different from mainstream America. Occasionally, I’ve been accused by my midwestern brother-in-law for being a food …
It’s been a long time since I’ve had the ability to do a Secret Recipe Club post, so I’m really excited to be healed enough and organized enough to be able to participate. This month I was assigned Mrs. Happy Homemaker, a new-to-me blog by Crystal. When Crystal says she’s a happy homemaker, she means …
