Summer is in full swing around here. I am currently manning the cashier table at our yard sale as I write this. Let it be know that this will be the one and only yard sale I ever host. Don't get me wrong, I like yard sales, but they're so humbling. There's something about spending...

Spinach Mushroom Skillet Lasagna
Three weeks from today I will be on a plane with my Hubby headed across the ocean to live in Italy for a few months. Let's just say that I've got LOTS to do between now and then, but I don't want to skimp on home cooking either. That's where this recipe comes in. Spinach...
Blueberry French Toast Bake
Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but it doesn't need to be the most complicated. I love fruit with my breakfast, especially if it's baked right in. This Blueberry French Toast Bake combines the juiciness of fresh blueberries with the cinnamon-sugar goodness of French Toast. A perfect start to the day.
Baked Cilantro-Lime Chicken and Rice
One of my favorite texts that my Hubby send me is "Wanna meet for lunch?" I always say yes, followed by the obligatory response of "When and where?" He almost always picks a Mexican Grill restaurant near his office. I have come to love burrito bowls, or naked burritos, or earmuffs, or whatever you want...
Grilled Asparagus and Ricotta Pizza
I don't know about you guys, but we had the most wonderful weekend ever this Memorial Day. Hubby returned from China after a week and a half, and we went straight from the airport at 10 pm Up North to our cabin. The weather was incredible. Sunshine, warm temperatures, and no rain. Despite the lovely...
Honey Barbecue Sauce
This recipe has been a long time coming. I have tried countless times to come up with a recipe for honey barbecue sauce that: a) I like. b) Does not require lots of strange ingredients, like fish sauce and whatnot. c) Does not contain High Fructose Corn Syrup. I finally got it. Plus, Hubby and I...
One-Pot Tomato Basil Pasta
After a long weekend of fun in the sun, an easy weeknight meal is just what we need to settle back in to the swing of things. Fresh basil, juicy red tomatoes, garlic, onion, and linguine are all you need to make this One-Pot Tomato Basil Pasta. Just cook, stir, and then enjoy. The results...
Homemade Hamburger Buns
Happy Friday! It's the beginning of Memorial Day weekend and that means, at least in these parts, that it's time to pack up and go camping for the weekend. Grilling, campfires, beach time, fishing, picnics, and all that fun stuff that camping entails. I'm sure that more than a few of you will be enjoying a...
Grilled Pizza
Around this time of year in Michigan once all the snow has melted away and the weather takes a turn for the better, everyone gets sort of giddy about the wonderful sunshine and milder temperatures. You can't go anywhere without talking about the lovely days that we earned by surviving another harsh winter. Farmer's markets start opening...
Rhubarb Raspberry Jam
Rhubarb isn't something I have used much in the past. I've had strawberry rhubarb pie here and there, but other than that, not much else. I never really found it very enticing. For some reason this year I knew I definitely wanted to find a way to enjoy rhubarb at home. David Lebovitz, who can do...
