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...

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...
Thai Peanut Chicken Stir-Fry
Hubby loves spicy noodles. I love chicken, and anything/everything involving peanut butter. This recipe was a match made in heaven. Just like us. (Swoon) This recipe for Thai Peanut Chicken Stir-Fry is quick and easy, and bursting with flavor. Feel free to adapt the amount of chili sauce to your own preferences. If you make...
Grilled Steak with Creamy Mushroom Gorgonzola Sauce
There are a few simple truths around our house when it comes to food. We love food. We love trying all sorts of new foods, even. However, deep down, we are both meat-and-potatoes people to our very core. We are steak people...medium-rare steak people. When we find ourselves in a quandry over what we would...
Shrimp Pad Thai
This recipe has been a long time coming. My Hubby has been begging and pleading with me to make him a homemade version of one of his favorite dishes. Given the fact that I am quite a wimp when it comes to my tolerance level to spiciness, this endeavor was actually a bit nerve-wracking for...
Loaded Baked Potato Soup
I never order soup at restaurants. Never ever. Why? There are always far more interesting options to choose, and I have never particularly cared for restaurant soup, and don't get me started on canned soup. That being said, I definitely enjoy soup. I love homemade soup. I love MAKING homemade soup. There's just something heartwarming...
Fish and Chips
Fish and Chips is probably my favorite way to enjoy fish. Honestly though, put tartar sauce and french fries with just about anything and I'm happy, but this particular recipe for fish and chips is quite possibly the best I've had. Except maybe the fresh-caught salmon version that we enjoyed in Alaska a couple of...
Cheesy Shrimp and Lobster Penne
Sometimes you just need to add a little something special to your mac and cheese. How about using amazing cheeses, like Fontina, Aged White Cheddar, and Asiago Fresco? If that's not enough, how about some seafood? Now we're talking. Super cheesy. Super creamy. Super amazing. Fontina and Aged White Cheddar give this cheesy sauce a...
