The receptionist at my work likes to celebrate holidays, usually with“misery loves company” lunches- on days such as the day before Thanksgiving or Christmas Eve. These are the days that most people at the office take off, and she is still stuck answering the phones, thus “misery loves company.” For Valentine’s Day she does a pie…
Stuffed Hashbrowns
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day right? I love breakfast, especially what we used to call ‘lumberjack’ breakfasts growing up. This means a good stick to your ribs so you can get a lot of work done breakfast. There used to be a restaurant in Ely called Northern Grounds that made the…
Bacon Apple Avocado Panini
I LOVE my Cuisinart Griddler (#EarnsCommission) which can be used as a panini press or has reversible flat plates that are great for making quesadillas. Ironically, when I bought it I had no interest in making panini. I actually wanted to replicate Taco Bell’s Grilled Steak Taquitos. Eventually we moved on to making other things…
Reese’s Pieces Cookies
I’m not the world’s biggest chocolate fan – which some of you probably cannot believe or even begin to understand. Now don’t get me wrong, I like chocolate and now and I again I really do enjoy a good piece of dark chocolate or a fudgy brownie but I don’t NEED chocolate. Instead, I have…
German Potato Salad
Summer is the season of BBQs and picnics, neither of which is complete with out a pasta or potato salad. This is just one more reason why I love summer, it presents a fun way to dress up your carbs. Seriously, if I had my way, I would live on carbs: bagels and pasta. In…
Individual Blueberry Crisps
I went blueberry picking near my hometown this weekend and after cleaning 4-1/2 gallons of berries, I needed some kind of treat so I whipped up these individual blueberry crisps. Wild blueberries are so much better than store bought – they’re smaller and take a while to pick (even when you get into a good…
Apricot Ice Cream
Dana bought me the best grad school graduation gift ever- a lemon-yellow Cuisinart ice cream maker (#EarnsCommission)! The Cuisinart and I have made some delicious ice creams together in the past year, and this is the latest one. We were having a party at work for one of my coworker’s birthdays, it was going to…
Grilled Salmon with Nectarine Salsa
It was the opening weekend of summer (aka Memorial weekend), so naturally I wanted to grill something for dinner. I just had amazing burgers the night before (with the sister), so I wanted something a little lighter this night. I couldn’t decide what I wanted; all I could describe was something “fresh.” I finally settled on grilled…
Blue Cheese Crostini
Tory and I made this to go with our Buffalo Chicken soup, but it would also go well as an appetizer. It totally MADE our Buffalo Chicken soup though. It’s so easy and has only 3 ingredients. Here’s what you need: Slice the baguette into thin slices. Brush both sides with olive oil. Sprinkle with…
Buffalo Chicken Soup
Tory and I got together a while ago for one of our first blogging nights. The blog just an idea then and we wanted to start putting together some recipes and taking pictures so we had content for our first posts. We decided that we’d make soup – and we wouldn’t just make one kind…
