I spent the weekend in Madison with my family and friends making all kinds of wonderful things to post on my blog, however all of the pictures are being held hostage in my camera on account of the fact that I am too brain dead to remember the cable for the computer. Argh. So please […]

What’s with all of the eggs?
So, my adventure in cooking dinner last night was limited to the fastest thing I could make from my meager groceries because Todd had class. Well, it was an egg sandwich – I know everyone is very impressed, but it was better than MC, as it was known when I grew up (macaroni and cheese). If you […]
25 Hours You Say…
“Worky-work; busy-bee.” (Watch “Overwhelmed”) Has anyone else seen that commercial? This is me for over a week now, except I really am busy – really, really busy. I vaguely remember watching a video in middle school about a man that lived in a cave for over one year to study human circadian rhythms – our […]
Experimenting with Quiche
Monday night turned into a much longer experiment than I thought. While at work, during lunch, of course, I had a brilliant idea: “Make a quiche for dinner! It is inexpensive (a huge consideration at this point in my life) and I have the ingredients in the fridge. I would use milk, so it was lower […]
Quiche
Last night I made quiche; I am exhausted. More later.
A Tribute to Nonnie and Meat Grinders
I have had a craving for this egg salad, the only egg salad I will eat (ever), since Easter. I love this recipe beacuse Nonnie and I would make it on Sunday afternoon out of leftover dyed eggs and eat mass quantities on white bread. Yum. I finally made Nonnie write the recipe […]
Thank you summer weather – where have you been for the past month?
In anticipation of the beautiful weekend in Wisconsin, I am posting this recipe, intended for the grill*. Todd and I invented this dish on Tuesday, and are still VERY impressed with ourselves. We hope you enjoy the weekend and the food! Grilled Pork Chops with Glazed Onions 2 Boneless pork chops, 1 – 1 ½ […]
Minestrone Soup
I have made this a few times, most recently for dinner on Easter (very festive, I know). I realize that this is not a traditional minestrone, mostly because Dad and I debated the finer points and as it turns out, I am wrong. However, Todd and I are pretty sure its perfect! I wanted to […]
Piccata Pesto
Ok, so on my lunch break, I am contemplating the finer points of a piccata dish and how I can convert that into a pesto sauce. Piccata is a sauce served with meat, made of lemon, wine, capers, and parsley. Pesto is comprised of basil, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Obviously, the […]
The Beginning
I have newly discovered, and become obsessed with, food blogs. I realize that I am a late bloomer, but they have nonetheless inspired me to start my own. In this saturated environment of fantastic writers and supremely talented photographers, I do not believe that mine will standout, but that it will be an outlet for […]
