Sometimes recipes happen as a byproduct of life. You have plans for your day that include relaxing in the sunshine, maybe reading a book and then BOOM...you are making noodles from scratch like you are Caroline Ingalls or something. There you stand in your kitchen, covered in flour asking yourself "what just happened?". Such are… Continue reading Homemade Egg Noodles
This Funnel Cake Will Be The Highlight of Your Week
"We'll go to the food court and get one of those funnel cakes you love.". So says the wife trying to mollify her husband after refusing to purchase him a two thousand and four hundred-dollar designer suit. Pouting ensues, before, finally accepting his fate, the hubby replies "We'll get a funnel cake - it'll be… Continue reading This Funnel Cake Will Be The Highlight of Your Week
Amazing Cherry Pit Removal
Summer will never be the same. Cherry pit removal with a straw. Easy peasy. Take a straw. I used a hard plastic one from a reusable hot/cold coffee cup. Place it at the base of your cherry. Mmmmm. Succulent Rainier cherries. Then push thru the top. Boom. Done. Mind blown. Devour. Repeat. Or, do a bunch… Continue reading Amazing Cherry Pit Removal

I gave my kids a simple demo and then let them do the rest. They LOVED making (and eating!) these cookies! Easy, delicious and… Continue reading Hamburger Cookies
Fruity Lemon Cheesecake Cookie Cups
Do any of you use Safeway's "Just-for-U" program/app? I always forget about it until I'm mostly done with my shopping. Then I'm standing in the aisle, trying to get service on my phone so I can check if anything I'm already purchasing has a coupon. Occasionally, instead of a coupon, I find a freebie. "Mini-birthday… Continue reading Fruity Lemon Cheesecake Cookie Cups

I envy those of you who regularly enjoyed traditional strawberry pie from your favorite little diner. On the corner. With kids playing… Continue reading Easy Strawberry Pie

BBQ Master Tri Tip Steak
Beef. Gorgeous and delicious when it's done right. Tasteless hockey puck when done wrong. Don't let your meat be a tasteless hockey puck. This tri tip recipe includes a fantastic marinade that produces a flavorful, robust steak, and a grilling hint straight from Gordon Ramsey's mouth. Well, from his mouth via my TV. Ok...via my… Continue reading BBQ Master Tri Tip Steak

Blueberries and Cream Pie
Picked up some gorgeous blueberries today – this is still my all time favorite blueberry dessert!
Are you a crust or filling person? Pie eaters (I’ve found) fall into one of these two distinct categories. Those who tolerate the crust as a means for getting gorgeous amazing delicious filling into their mouths. And those who believe a flaky light crust absolutely is the best thing about pie. That the filling is plays second fiddle and is really only there because you can’t just eat pie crust on its own.
The fact that you need something else to go with crust is one of the reasons I am a filling girl. You can totally gobble fruity (or custardy) filling with a spoon. It needs no other accoutrement to make it delicious. My husband is all about the crust.
Personally I’ll take a crumble or a cobbler any day over pie. More filling, less crust. Thankfully this blueberries and cream pie gives us both a little something we…
