Menu Plan Monday ~ In Reverse ~ June 27

I am participating in Menu Plan Monday at orgjunkie.com, but unlike most of the other participants who plan their menus and post them that week, I’m always a bit behind, and I post my menus a week later. I do this so that I can let you know if I try a new recipe and...

Getting Organized :: The Recipe Binder

This summer I am doing my best to take steps to get more organized…in every area of our lives.  Except cleaning.  Still waiting on a house elf for that one.  Some of the changes I’m making are huge, some are tiny, but in the end, they are all helping to make our lives feel a...

Radish Dip

Radish Dip

Last week we received our first shipment from Rains & Son Backyard Farm’s CSA, which was started by my sweet cousin and her husband (and son).  I was so excited, and most of the food was gobbled up immediately (especially the sugar snap peas, my favorite!).  But there were a few veggies in there that I...

The Kentucky Fresh Cookbook ~ My thoughts

I want to tell you about one of my very favorite cook books.  Maggie Green has put together a must-have kitchen resource, called the Kentucky Fresh Cookbook.   I’m not what you’d call a food expert, nor am I a book reviewer by trade, but I’m still going to give you my two cents on...
Crunchy Slaw - A Perfect Picnic Recipe

Crunchy Slaw – A Perfect Picnic Recipe

I’m not a fan of traditional cole slaw.  That’s putting it nicely, in all actuality I HATE cole slaw.  And I really don’t use the “H” word for very many foods.  But crunchy slaw is decidedly NOT traditional slaw.  It’s more like a salad with a bit of crunch.  It’s a perfect dish to take...

Menu Planning Monday ~ In Reverse

A while back I tried to start blogging about our dinner menus for the week at the beginning of the week.  It failed.  I think that the one week I did it I did not make one thing that was on my menu for the week.  It’s not that I’m not organized…because I am.  It’s...

Easter Eve: Getting Ready for Holidays

Today is “Easter Eve”.  I’m spending the day doing what I do the day before almost any major holiday…cleaning, preparing, organizing, list-writing, cooking, etc.  Just readying our family for the chaos that can come with holidays.  I feel like everyone is much happier going from place to place and missing naps if we are ready...
