Easy Guava BBQ Ribs
I am finally back from visiting with the family, which started and ended with a very, very, long road trip. I confess there may have been a mild meltdown on my part after 15 hours of being cooped up in the car. This meltdown may have included flaying arms and an all out war with my…
Stuffed Artichoke Braised in White Wine
Will you forgive me for abandoning you? I didn’t mean to. It just that my feet hurt… and my butt muscles hurt… and my brain hurts… and so do my hair follicles, but that is what happens when you are on your feet for 6 hours straight. Don’t get me wrong I am not complaining. As…
Mini Getaway Eureka Springs
I had every intention of cooking up something delicious and awesome this weekend for you, but on Saturday morning my lovely husband proposed a mini-getaway and the cooking plans got put on the back burner. Since I started classes and my vacation time is limited, so when I got this Monday off we decided to…
Fontina Polenta Pie with Beef and Mushrooms
I see the light at the end of the tunnel and I couldn’t be happier. Yesterday I looked outside at my yard and I saw grass again. Beautiful little sprigs of green grass. I survived Snowpocalypse 2011 and I am looking forward to the spring. Yesterday I also noticed that the days are getting a…
Salami and Cheese Spanish Tortilla
After being cooped up for 4 days due to 13 inches of snowfall I found myself attempting to have deep philosophical conversations with my dogs. Unfortunately the conversations were pretty one sided. Then when I found out that we are expecting 5 – 10 inches more on Wednesday. I promptly sat myself in a corner…
There’s Snow in Them There Hills
Remember that rumor that the weather man started about and epic snow storm that was going to bring us between 6 to 12 inches of snow? Totally false! He had no clue what he was talking about. When we went outside on the day after the “supposed” snow storm it was a sunny and warm…
Garbanzos with Smoked Chorizo
Considering how many Kleenex tissues I have gone through in the last 4 days I have decided to buy stock in Kleenex, or what is better known as KMB on the NYSE. I may as well make some money off myself. Does that even make sense? To top it off the weather man has started…
Steamed Pork Buns
I got me some hot steamy buns! Steamed pork buns that is…silly. For Christmas OB was brave enough to steer off of the Christmas list I gave him and buy me a gift that wasn’t on the list. To my surprise and delight it was a bamboo steamer. I have never cooked with or…
Sausage, Peppers & Onions
I have great news people. I can finally move and turn my neck. I know that may sound kind of ridiculous but after rocking the robot for 4 days, I could not be happier to regain full range of motion. You never know how often you twist your head back until you can’t do it…
