Greek Style Pizza
Pizza… is there any food you love more? I hope not! If you’re gonna tell me that you love hamburgers or <gasp> sushi more than you love pizza, this may not be the blog for you. Ok, so maybe Buffalo Wings or a big plate of chili cheese fries might get close to my love…
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
Yay, it’s TBT again! I just love Throwback Thursday’s! I especially love this one because the weather outside was perfect for putting a big pot on the stove and making my Mom’s Chicken Paprikash – YUM! Mom’s Chicken Paprikash is an old family recipe that she used to make on cool autumn days. I’d…
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…
Easy Peasy Tarte Tatin
Tarte Tatin… it’s French, it has a mysterious aura surrounding it, it’s romantic and ohhh la la! And until this past year it was such a pain in the neck to make that I rarely bothered with it. Ok ok, once in a blue moon I’d whip one up for someone really special, but they…

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…
Grandma’s Peach Crumb Cake
My Mom made the best peach crumb cake I’ve ever eaten. No lie! BEST… EVER! We call it Grandma’s Peach Crumb Cake now because my sons make it for their families and they need a more accurate title – it all gets confusing once the Mom becomes the Grandma, and even more confusing when she’s…
No-Mess Oven Roasted Pulled Pork
It’s not a just MAN-ic Monday today, it’s Labor Day too! I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with succulent No-Mess (promise!) Oven Roasted Pulled Pork Sammies! Oh and did I mention that it’s also my birthday this week? Uh huh, I was born on Labor Day, so I’ve excerpted the entire…
