This past spring we flew to Chicago to watch the Twin’s take on the White Sox. It’s the first Twin’s away game we’ve been to and it sure was fun to be a fan at an away game. We sat behind the Twin’s dugout and since there were very few Twin’s fans, ended up catching…
Greek Pasta Salad
We’ve had some pretty hot days here in June, so on a recent hot and humid weekend I made plans to experiment with a Greek Pasta Salad. I mentioned when I posted the recipe for Greek Chopped Salad that I love Greek dressings and flavors, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that after nailing a…
Strawberry Mojito Popsicles
Last winter we took a vacation to San Juan, Puerto Rico. About the only advantage of one or both spouses traveling a lot for work is earning enough hotel and airline points for a vacation. And that is exactly how we found ourselves in San Juan. And what does a foodie do on vacation? Why…
Rhubarb Cake
Last summer, I was telling a friend that I work with how big my rhubarb plant was and offered to bring her some rhubarb. I think she underestimated the size of my plant and I underestimated the amount of rhubarb I was picking for her because it didn’t seem to be making a dent! Needless…
Spiralized Jicama Apple Slaw
The first time we made this recipe, we were hanging out at home just a week or two after the new kitchen was up and running. I think those first few weeks there was some definite pent up creative energy when it came to cooking after not having a kitchen for 5 months. We made…
Herby Potato Salad
Potato salad is something that I normally pass over at potlucks or parties especially when it’s the yellow mayo-mustardy base. I just don’t love it. I have branched out a little bit over the years in the form of other types of potato salad. Last summer, I posted this Warm Potato Salad with Bacon and…
New Kitchen
Several months ago, I let you all know that I was remodeling my kitchen. You may have realized from the background pictures in recent recipes that things are up and running again. We’ve been able to cook in the new kitchen since about mid-March. Now things still aren’t 100% finished with the new addition, but…
Watermelon Lemonade
It’s almost Memorial Day, and I am proud to say that I’m the granddaughter of two Marines. They were both fortunate enough to make it home from WWII and I got a chance to know, love, and make memories with both of them, but since they aren’t with us anymore, Memorial Day really takes on…
Greek Chopped Salad
Even though, if you looked in my fridge you’d find at least a half dozen salad dressings, I really love to make my own dressings for our dinner salads. They are fresher, can be customized, and you know exactly what is in it. One dressing that has alluded me for a while is a Greek…
Pineapple Mango Salsa
Back when I didn’t have a kitchen, we were really craving a home cooked meal. And not something crazy fancy, just something classic and comforting. So I invaded my in-laws kitchen and made tacos. But when we hang out with this crew we almost always play games and hang out so I wanted to keep…
