Carnivore Or Herbivore?

Posted in Chicken, Children, Cooking, Daily Life, Family, Food, Kids, Life, Recipes, tagged , , , , , , , , on July 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

What is my brother going to say when he gets home to find that his 8 year old son is growing like a weed and is eating meat all of a sudden? 
He has turned into a carnivore overnight.
Nephew has been big on salads since he was 2.  He was the only toddler I’ve ever seen [...]

Chocolate Ganache Cake

Years ago, hubby and I drove up to Monterey and stayed at the Martine Inn in Pacific Grove. 
The inn is a charming bed and breakfast on the coast of California. 
Our room was wonderful, with a sitting room area that overlooked the ocean. 
Finally this was a trip where we could stop frequently, and did.  Unlike when we [...]

Sam is officially 12. 
I know, I can’t believe it either.  Pete is a bit annoyed that Sam is taller than Pete was at the same age. 
Adapt – I told him. 
There were 12 birthday “partiers” at my house this weekend.  Eleven 12 year old boys and one petite and polite 8 year old girl, dressed in, what else?  [...]

“Mom when are you making that chicken again?”

I’ve been making this recipe for abut 15 years.  It is one of those where if the guys know what’s in it, there is a chorus of “I’m not eating THAT!”  But serve it up, tell them taste it and before you know it, the pan or crock pot has been licked clean.  Not really, [...]

Appetizers

Posted in Cooking, Family, Food, Football, Recipes, Superbowl, tagged , , , , , on January 31, 2009 | 2 Comments »

 
I promised earlier this week that I would share two quick appetizers with you for the big game on Sunday. 
These are ridiculously easy and fast.  If you have two crock pots, even better.  The ingredients are a bit unusual.  If you think that some of your crowd might be a bit squeamish…just tell them it [...]

At our house, the countdown has begun for the Super Bowl.  The guys are all excited.  They’ve been remembering their days playing high school football when I would call from the stands….”What inning are we in?” 
I have no idea which teams are playing, but I will be watching….. the commercials.  I have reserved my spot on the couch.  I [...]

Infamous Fudge

     It must have been in the mid 1980’s when this famous fudge recipe was published in the local paper.  I remember wanting a new fudge recipe and since this was from my favorite candy store, I was excited to try it for the holidays. 
     This candy store is in the Western United States…as far [...]

Pecan Pie

Posted in Baking, Cooking, Fall, Family, Food, Recipes, Thanksgiving, tagged , , , , , , on November 25, 2008 | 2 Comments »

 

     This recipe has been in my family for three generations.  My boys make the fourth.  Years ago my great-aunt found the recipe in an old cookbook.  It has always been one of my favorites because unlike some pecan pies that are too sweet, this is just perfect. 
     Pie crust has never been one of [...]

Out of the Mouth of Babes…..

 We were at a dinner party with family and extended family recently.  Our grown sons were there, as well as some people we had not seen for several months.  One member present has never caught on about inappropriate topics of discussion or language for that matter, when children are present.  I am one of, (I [...]

    I had taken a mental health day this week….you know the feeling.  After picking my youngest son up from grade school, we stopped at McDonald’s.  He’s playing the Monopoly Game Promotion.  He is convinced that we are going to get the million dollars.  We have more Foot Locker coupons right now, than we have feet in the [...]
