A little about me and my crazy world
From the title of this blog, you must think I'm writing about my absolutely favorite Christmas movie, A Christmas Story. While I could write all day about 'Mommy's Little Piggy', this is not the case today. Sorry to disappoint! I prepared a new recipe today. This one is what I call a 'fancy dish'. Caprese …
I'm not a shrimp fan. I don't care for the texture or the taste. However, my hunka hunka absolutely loves shrimp. He pretty much loves anything seafood. I have read comments (not on my blogs), but comments in general where people don't want to read blogs in how food makes them feel for recipes, they …
Prep...that was a term from my high school days...something I never was. Let's not get confused over meal prep…I am starting to do a lot more of this on weekends. I’m not talking about some odd diet I’m on; I’m talking about preparing meals in order to make supper throughout the week a more convenience, …
Someone asked when I was going to blog on food again. I didn't realize it has been a few weeks. Life has been a tad crazy busy. I had a recipe I recently fixed. Thank goodness I remembered to take pictures. I was proud of how this recipe turned out. I nearly called this blog …

Sunday is my cooking day. I like to do a whole lot of nothing on Sundays to prepare for my work week. This is the most I do on my Sunday funday. Today is no different. Middle of NFL playoffs. Go teams! I hate that somebody has to lose, but I do like teams with …
I’m a huge fan of Everybody Loves Raymond. I watch it every night on TV Land before I go to sleep. I call it my deprogramming time of my day. I can relate to Deborah. I told my hunka hunka that Marie (mil) reminds me of his mother. He was in denial, until he watched …

As I finished my fifth round of A Christmas Story today, I decided to sit and write. I have not sat for 10 hours watching TV, even though I could. I watched this over the past 22 hours. The final run of the movie just started and my heart is sad as it will not …
Some of the best dishes are made from what you already have in your pantry. It's cold outside. I'm exhausted from starting a new job. I just didn't want to get back out to eat on a Saturday night. I started thinking about what I could cook with staples I tend to always have in …
I'm OCD. I'm a weirdo. Together those two personalities make a perfect combination preparing Thanksgiving. My Thanksgiving menu is standard. I have it down to a science. More than two weeks beforehand I print my recipes, schedule, and go grocery shopping. I lay out all my recipes on the dining room table, put a dish …
