This is what we made for Easter dinner. The boy got it into his head that he wanted to try cooking duck, so duck is what we cooked. Prior to this, the only time we had cooked with duck was a red wine based stew, and that only need some duck legs, not a whole bird. So...
One of the projects I picked to try out for the Pinterest Challenge was a dining passport (see the original pin here). It wasn't too heavy on materials: just a small Moleskine notebook I picked up at B&N, and some pens I already had. It was a little more...
Today's post comes from Carly, one of my wonderful sponsors this month. Check out her tasty recipe below, and then go say hi! Hi, I'm Carly! And it's that time of year here in Florida: strawberry season! Pie Ingredients 6 cups fresh strawberries...
This is one of the boy's recent picks for cookery adventures. And I admit, I was a bit skeptical. I've had Thai dishes before where the peanut sauce was overwhelming, and thus not enjoyable (for me). Happily, that is not the case with this dish. I'm not sure whether...

You didn't think I could let the holidays go by without sharing a holiday recipe, did you? 🙂 This is a recipe that my mom got way back in the day when my dad was stationed in Germany. There was a cookie swap with neighbors/friends/fellow military families, and...
Another recipe that doesn't really yield pretty pictures, but I promise it's yummy. Like most 20-somethings I know, one of the items that can generally be found in our pantry is Ramen noodles. Usually beef flavor, occasionally chicken. And while I enjoy a good...
Today I'm turning over the blog to one of my wonderful sponsors this month, Kassi! Her and her sister blog over at Truly Lovely, and today she's sharing a perfect-for-fall treat. Read on, and then go say hi over at her place or on Twitter! Hi there! I'm Kassi...
This originally appeared as a guest post over on Confessions of a Semi-Domesicated Mama. This an easy and tasty recipe sure to please kids and grown-ups alike. Bonus: it's equally as good as warmed-up leftovers. Alfredo Chicken & Biscuits Ingredients 2 c. cubed...
Technically this should bee called 100 Foods & Drinks, since it has several beverages on it, but whatever. A friend had this on Facebook, and I was interested to see how many I had already eaten. (There may have been some intensive Googling, since I didn't even know...
