You know, there’s nothing like a luscious, huge salad to perk up a girl’s day. This is what I served the family recently. It took a bit or work, all that cleaning and chopping and placement. But OH it was so worth it. I never liked salads as a kid, but maybe that was because [...]

Colorful Food
April 22, 2011
My son is so creative with his food sometimes. He made me oatmeal. Isn’t he so sweet? I tell him he should be a cook. Or maybe a car mechanic. That way, I won’t have to fork out the thousands to have my car fixed. Yeah. Too many young people want careers in computers today. [...]

Since The Hubs has been working evenings recently, we haven’t been cooking as much as usual. The kids and i are happy to “scrounge” for dinners, and I prefer to eat light in the evenings anyway. Judging by the reactions of most women, it seems that the only reason we cook dinner is for the [...]
Squeaky Zucchini Stew

My daughter sometimes cooks for us around here. Sunday was a HUGE work day, and I couldn’t grill for the helpers. So my daughter stepped in and made a fabulous meal. Everyone absolutely loves it; if we entered a contest, say, for a week at one of those gorgeous Outer Banks homes, I’d bet we’d [...]
