70I will not confess to sitting on the sofa with a carton of ice cream and a spoon, yesterday. I will confess to feeling guilty for some unexplained reason and deciding that a light salad would be a great dinner option. The guilt had nothing to do with a carton of ice cream, because there…

Need a Puppy Fix?
The puppies will be four weeks old tomorrow and they are going great. There have been a few late nights of crying and whining but they are healthy. Their eyes are wide open. Teeth are growing in and being put to good use…..sort of; and they are attentive and curious. Everything you would expect from…
A Few Denver Trip Highlights
I thought I would do a post about some of the places we visited while we were in Denver. I love the city of Denver, it is urban and rugged outdoors all wrapped into one, and not to mention dog friendly. Any city that is friendly to dogs is A-OK in my book. Yes, it…
Strawberry Lime Squares with Almond Graham Cracker Crust
I have been a slacker. It takes a little while to get back into the swing of things after two weeks that consisted of a family visit and vacation. Also I got sucked into a few books that I couldn’t put down. I was literally up until 3 am one night. I am ashamed to…
Marinated Pork Chops with Mango Pineapple Salsa
Yesterday was a solid 79 degrees and I thought it was time to do something bright, light and full of flavor. It may still be April but it is feeling like Summer here. Although I am not quite ready to leave the house in shorts yet, for fear of causing an accident by blinding drivers…
Cherry Tomato Shrimp Linguine

We took off on a jet plane this morning to the mile high city of Denver, Colorado. It’s a much needed little get away and I couldn’t be more excited about trying food at local eateries. The first place we hit up was a charming little eatery in the Cherry Creek shopping area on E….
Roasted Tomato Sauce
I am currently getting Obed and I ready for our birthday celebration vacation to Denver. I had some pizza dough in the freezer, so last night I decided that I was going to whip together a pizza for dinner. After a fierce battle over pizza with sauce vs. no sauce, I decided to surrendered. I like…
Brown Butter Yeast Waffles
How much butter does it take to make waffles for a family of 8? If your making delicious brown butter waffles I would say about 3 1/2 sticks. Which actually turned out to be too much because there were a ton of left overs. I under estimated how filling waffles can be, especially these. I…
Interrupting Our Regularly Scheduled Program for PUPPIES!
Sometime between October and November we took in a stray chocolate lab we named Girlie. At the end of January, Girlie and Jake learned about the birds and the bees. Yesterday after a short road trip we came home to a proud Mama of 8 puppies. She caught us a little by surprise, we…
