I think most of us know that every region of America has it's own "signature" dish. Texas has barbecue, New England has clam chowder, California has Mexican in the South and wine country in the north, and the Mid West has fried foods and roasted corn. But how many of you know about the "signature" … Continue reading A Regional Favorite, My Way- Tater Tot Hot Dish
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
Awesome Beyond Words- Marinara Sauce
Ok, seriously; I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love this sauce! Remember when I told you that my husband loves my sausage gravy so much he wants to eat it in a bowl like soup? Well that's me with this sauce. And I can do that because this sauce is actually … Continue reading Awesome Beyond Words- Marinara Sauce
Comfort Food for Breakfast- Maple Syrup Dumplings
Yes; you read that right: Maple Syrup Dumplings. As in soft, pillowy biscuit-style dumplings in a smooth sauce of maple syrup.

Cold Morning, Hearty Breakfast- Farina, AKA Cream of Wheat
So here we are in one of the coldest parts of the country, and we moved here willingly- happily even. Believe it or not, we wanted to move to northern Wisconsin. When my husband got his job with the railroad and it became very clear that staying in Colorado wasn't going to be an option, … Continue reading Cold Morning, Hearty Breakfast- Farina, AKA Cream of Wheat

Versatility is a Virtue- Lemon Garlic Chicken Breasts
The last few days here in Northern Wisconsin have been just heavenly; highs in the low to mid 70's, a cool breeze all day, and chilly nights to cool the house off to be ready for the next day (saving a ton on the AC bill).

Back At It Again- From MY OWN Kitchen!!
Hot damn; I'm bloggin' again! I can't tell you how many times in the last 6 months I've said to myself "I really want to blog... but I've got nothing." You may ask "Why nothing?"

Winter Getting You Down? I Have the Answer!- Lemonies
My goodness gracious; it's cold! That's true for just about everywhere in America right now, but it goes double for the Northern Plains where I'm at. Everywhere I go there's talk of wishing for summer and lamenting how crazy cold it is. I can understand why they feel that way; not everyone dislikes summer like … Continue reading Winter Getting You Down? I Have the Answer!- Lemonies
Honey to the Rescue!- Honey Pecan Pie
As you know, I much prefer to use real food ("whole", "natural", etc) ingredients when I cook and bake. I try to stay away from processed foods as much as I can, but sometimes the classics are based on foods that are not really good for you. Take pecan pie, for example. One of the … Continue reading Honey to the Rescue!- Honey Pecan Pie
