Good grief, it's been almost a year. A year!! SO MUCH has happened in that year, and I wasn't sure if I would ever get to come back. I've wanted to, but it just hasn't been in the cards until now. I wasn't sure if anyone would even care at this point if I came back. But … Continue reading I’m Alive and Kicking- Really!
Summer Sucks Series
Easy Printing… For Real This Time
So after being informed by my BFF that the print feature I added awhile back actually prints the entire blog post instead of only the recipe like I wanted it to, I have (with a little help from a more experienced blogger) figured out how to make only the recipe in each post printable. Yay! … Continue reading Easy Printing… For Real This Time
I’ve Added a New Feature!
I've had some requests for a "print recipe" feature, so I looked around and found one of those! You can now find a new button on each post. It's labeled "print and PDF" and it can be found at the very bottom of each post along with the sharing buttons. You're welcome and thanks for … Continue reading I’ve Added a New Feature!
Summer Sucks XIV: More So Than I Imagined- Praise God It’s Over
As I write this, the people of my hometown are beginning the long road to rebuilding their lives after a catastrophic flood. I am from Estes Park, Colorado- "The Gateway To Rocky Mountain National Park". The floods you may have heard about on television have devastated Estes, Glen Haven, Drake, and several other towns. Thankfully … Continue reading Summer Sucks XIV: More So Than I Imagined- Praise God It’s Over
Summer Sucks XIII: No Panini Grill Required!- Pressed Sandwiches
It's been hot again lately. Really hot. Because the air conditioner is no longer functioning. And it's been in the high 90's outside again, therefore it's been in the mid-80's to low 90's inside. Sigh. Summer sucks. So I've been trying to keep meals on the cool side of the spectrum. But I also know … Continue reading Summer Sucks XIII: No Panini Grill Required!- Pressed Sandwiches
Summer Sucks XII: Something “Frosty” to Cool You Off- Frozen Hot Chocolate
I have come to the realization this year that I really can't complain about this summer too much. I started the Summer Sucks Series as a way to get through what was promising to be an incredibly hot and miserable summer. It was a way to continue blogging like I wanted to but also to … Continue reading Summer Sucks XII: Something “Frosty” to Cool You Off- Frozen Hot Chocolate
Summer Suck XI: A Week Off for Something Fun
I have to take this week off so that I can put my time and effort into something even more fun than making food for my blog: my youngest sister's wedding! She is getting married to her very own beloved this Friday and I am helping my mom with the food for the wedding as … Continue reading Summer Suck XI: A Week Off for Something Fun
Summer Sucks X: Breakfast in this heat?!- Drinkable Yogurt
I don't know about your kids but mine can't eat the minute they get out of bed in the morning. They need to be up and around for at least 20 minutes before they can eat a good breakfast- my son especially. He needs at least 30-45 minutes of being awake & out of bed … Continue reading Summer Sucks X: Breakfast in this heat?!- Drinkable Yogurt
Summer Sucks IX: Bringing Back a Classic- (Banana) Pudding Pops
I bought something recently that I’d been wanting to buy for several years now and kept putting off: popsicle molds. I've seen SO many recipes in various places for popsicles and said “Oh I wish I had popsicle molds- that would be so tasty and fun!” But every time I had the extra bit of … Continue reading Summer Sucks IX: Bringing Back a Classic- (Banana) Pudding Pops
Summer Sucks VIII: Something… Different- Fire Grilled Steak Tacos with Pineapple Salsa
I have a confession to make: I hate grilling with commercial charcoal. No matter what I do I can't keep it lit. I've tried tricks & tips from numerous sources and none of them work for me. And I hate the smell of burning charcoal. It's so... harsh. And unnatural. When I grill with commercial … Continue reading Summer Sucks VIII: Something… Different- Fire Grilled Steak Tacos with Pineapple Salsa
