This week I decided to make one of Tim’s favorite Tuesday Treats… just cuz I love him lots! These are Mini Flourless Chocolate Cakes with a chocolate glaze. Tim loves chocolate! Tim can’t eat a lot of chocolate! Tim can’t eat too much sugar! Tim will eat an entire cake if it’s in plain…
Crispy and Juicy Chicken Wings
Wow, is it MAN-ic Monday already? Where did the weekend go? I don’t know about your neck of the woods, but here in the high plains desert of Idaho, it’s football season! Oh, and the weather is already down to the low 70’s during the day, which makes it perfect weather for lots of cooking…
Grilled Cheese Club Sandwich
A Grilled Cheese Club Sandwich isn’t just a perfect dish for a fast, fun meal on a Friday, it’s also WAY scrumptious! Oh and if you do it right, you can clog all of your arteries in just one bite. So here’s how Tim and I came up with this recipe. Back about a week…
Mom’s Chicken Paprikash

Simply Simple Boule… uh, Bread!
Know what I love best about Whatever Wednesdays? I love the fact that they are so flexible! They can handle it when life throws me a curve ball! They don’t get flustered when my heads hurt so badly and my asthma is so bad that I can’t even stand at the stove to make a…

My Birthday and my Dang Good Life…
I’m 58 years old today – woot! First up, I never imagined being 58. Never! When I was in 4th grade our teacher, Mrs. Whitaker, asked us to figure out how old we’d be in the year 2000. As I was doing the math I was thinking “why do I need to do this, I…
Burgers for a Bunch (with Bacon!)
Burgers for a Bunch – ohhhhhh my, they were a staple on our table in the 70’s! My Mom’s best friend, who we called Aunt Peggy, made this dish for us when we visited her in Ithica, NY and we all fell in love with it. My Mom got the recipe, tweaked it a bit,…
Soft Homemade Sandwich Buns
Soft homemade sandwich buns are the perfect recipe for Whatever Wednesdays, cuz it’s Wednesday, and anything goes, right? The backstory: I wanted to be lazy and just use store bought Ciabatta or Kaiser rolls for my No-Mess oven roasted Pulled Pork Sammies on Labor Day. Clearly 300 other people also wanted to use store bought…
