I’m all alone in my household of four. No one else enjoys cucumbers.  Or cherry tomatoes. No one, but me. Sniff. Sometimes, I just have to celebrate my cucumber-and-cherry-tomato-loving-ways.  And sneak in things like this Cherry Tomato and Cucumber Salad. Even if I’m the only one who eats it, it’s still darn tasty. So there. [...]

I know I’m a bit late to post this Creamy Peanut Butter Pie for Mikey, as Jennie requested they be made a couple Fridays ago. But, I figured better late than never. And I imagine Jennie would agree. If you missed my BLT with Chipotle Mayo post, you probably have no idea what I’m talking [...]

Welcome to my first lesson in my series on How To Start A Food Blog! As you may know, there are many important aspects to consider prior to starting a food blog.  Sure…there will be cooking and writing about the cooking and even photographing the food.  But, long before any of that ever takes place, [...]

Let me first start this post by saying the teriyaki sauce for this Teriyaki Chicken is amazing. A-maze-ing. Okay, I feel better now. Whew. Like I mentioned with my Salmon Teriyaki recipe, homemade teriyaki sauce is incredibly easy to make.  Plus, it’s SO much better than the bottled stuff — it’s really not even fair. [...]

I originally had no intention of posting this Roasted Asparagus recipe. As you can probably imagine, I cook a lot. Which means I make a lot of food.  And try out a lot of recipes. When these recipes are tasty, I share them on this here blog.  When they’re not up to par, I either [...]

This last poll asked the question, “Are you interested in a physical copy of my downloadable cookbook, Cooking Can Be Easy?” After releasing my cookbook, Cooking Can Be Easy, [...]

Recently, Jennie, a food blogger over at In Jennie’s Kitchen, lost her husband after he suffered a heart attack. If you didn’t know about Jennie before reading this post, neither had I. But I’m pretty sure I’ll never forget her story. I stumbled upon Jennie’s blog after seeing a post for Peanut Butter Pie {for [...]

Today, I decided to make soup. I kept seeing acorn squash on sale at the store. Teasing me with its simple and sweet acorn squash goodness. Each week, I’d think, “Neh, it’s too hot for soup.” And, each week, I’d pass it by. *Sniff* But, alas, I realized it is almost Autumn.  My goodness, how [...]

Welcome to my latest Weekend Round-Up! I hope you are enjoying your weekend and staying cool from the heat. For those of you who aren’t familiar with my Weekend Round-Up posts, once a month or so, I post links to some of my favorite food blogs. I choose the links based on a particular blogger’s [...]

Being able to perfectly fry an egg is an invaluable skill in the kitchen. Whether you like it sunny side up, over-medium or cooked all the way through — you can add that special touch to a simple salad or have the perfect eggs and toast for breakfast. I like my fried eggs over-medium — [...]
