Chocolate Vodka Martini
Starting the week off with a cocktail sounds good to me haha. My picture didn’t want to rotate either so I’m not drunk yet I promise! Hope ya’ll had a great weekend! My schedule seems to be slowing down a little which is good, I need to get in rice mode and start...
Oat-y-licious Wheat Bread
On a recent hunt to lower my hubby’s borderline cholesterol I’ve been doing a lot of research to control it more with the foods we eat rather then starting medication. Oatmeal is a great simple ingredient to try and eat daily if you can. It can be added to a number of...
Fettuccine with Yellow Squash and Parmesan-Lemon Cream Sauce
This is one of those dishes that are really light and take advantage of the fresh veggies you can find at the market. We really loved this dish. The basil pasta added a hint of basil, but didn’t overwhelm the other flavors of the dish. Fettuccine with Yellow Squash...
Basil Pasta
I love homemade pasta. Basil is used in a lot of the pasta sauces I make so I figured why not add the herb to the pasta to add more flavor? Our friends have a basil bush over 4 feet high so I love getting my herbs from them. It’s amazing what you can dream up when...

My baby girl turns 4!
Saturday was my little monkey’s birthday and despite the heat she had a good day overall. We’ve recently had lots of houseguest staying with us so she’s been plenty spoiled, but come on how could you not love this face…. Her favorite summer activity is swimming so of...
Stuffed Chicken Drumsticks
One of our easy go to meals is shake and bake chicken. This time I decided to change it up a little and stuff the drumsticks with cheese and it turned out really good. I liked how it kept the chicken moist and added an additional texture and flavor you weren't...
Make Your Own Slime
Summer is almost over, and I know parents can’t wait for the kids to go back to school. Hang in there! Here’s a fun little craft I did with some of the neighbors kids as well as 3 kids we watched last weekend. It was a total hit! One child told me I was cooler than...
Grilled Cheese & Short Rib Sandwiches with Pickled Caramelized Onions and Arugula
We have some short ribs in the freezer from the steer we bought, except they where boneless so I finally got to try this recipe. They where only 1 1/2 pounds of meat instead of the 5 pounds needed, but it worked out fine, I also cut the amount of celery down to 1 (7...
Veracruz Corn
Here’s another recipe from Eva’s Kitchen, except this time it’s a winner and going in my favorite side dishes recipe book. I would cut the tortillas in smaller pieces otherwise the dish is full of flavor and I loved the different textures. I can’t wait to make this...
Brownies
I love making dishes from scratch, and besides who doesn’t love a good brownie? Well, Eva promises “a fudgy brownie with more chocolate taste than you’ll ever get from a mix” in her book Eva’s Kitchen. I was excited and had to give it a try. Sadly, they tasted like...
Chicken Skewers With Grilled Romaine
My newest addiction is grilled romaine lettuce!! Holy moly this was good. I was interested in the bread crumb coated chicken being grilled so I knew I had to see what this was all about. The bread crumbs really sucked up the marinade and you couldn’t taste it so I was...
