Short and sweet, I’ve discovered a bullet proof recipe for pasta sauce. And by bullet proof I mean no matter what I do, the crowd goes wild, everyone cheers and the plates are as close to being licked clean as you can get. It’s bananas. It’s also a little annoying because other times I put
I promised a vegetarian recipe and here it is. Unexpected and born out of necessity I was pretty pleased with how this turned out. This has been an unpredictable and crazy summer following the exact same kind of year. Don’t let the travel blogs fool you, there is lots going on and it has been
I’ve got a time saving, wallet saving, sanity saving, healthy habit promoting food tip for you this week. Why didn’t I think of it sooner? I am so over lunches, school lunches, work lunches, brown bag lunches, whatever man, I’m over it. My son is almost done with high school and I long ago gave up

So, you won’t believe this one. I certainly didn’t. This is the best time of year to go grocery shopping, everything is fresh from the local farms. Deep leafy greens, sweet corn, green beans, new potatoes, even zucchini. All of it, and much of it selling for in season prices which roughly translates to our
Like everyone else, there are things I’m good at and things that I am not good at. I’m learning though that perhaps there can be a category in life called good enough, and just maybe I can turn some of my “not good” things into good enough while turfing some other things all together. I
Sometimes it’s just that easy. We bought a roast a few days ago when we were at Costco, and today was the last day on the best before sticker. Nobody wants to come home after a full work week on Friday to cook a roast beef supper, so I threw the meat into my slow
