Last summer, I had a “Sweet 100” tomato plant that provided us with so many buckets of cherry tomatoes that we couldn’t even eat them all before the fruit flies ate them too and made them rot. Suffice it to say, we had this salad a lot last year! This year, I didn’t purchase tomato Read More …
We’ve had uncharacteristically wet weather in Colorado this year, but the last few weeks have warmed up more like usual. And dry, hot weather is a perfect time to barbecue! I pulled out one of my favorite recipes last week and boy, it had been too long since I’d made it! I’m eager to share Read More …
Warming, rich and tasty, this Crockpot Ham and Bean soup tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen. But with the magic of a slow cooker, you don’t have to! It’s also a great way to use a ham bone! Read More …

I love mushrooms! Especially cooked mushrooms. That flavor is just oh, so delectable! So last week I decided to pull out an old recipe, for Portobello Mushroom Burgers! Portobellos rival meat in price per pound, but I think they are lighter than a hamburger would be, and also form a better circle! The boys don’t Read More …
Do you ever get bored with the way you serve pasta? Red sauce, white sauce, plain old butter, olive oil (I hear people use pesto, not an option here.) There are different ways to dress it up, and different proteins to add, but often kids, in particular, latch onto one type of pasta and aren’t Read More …
Hello friends! Let’s talk about frosting. I have turned into a frosting snob over the last few years. For Zax’s first birthday, I discovered several frosting recipes that I absolutely love, and now I can’t make myself go back to canned frosting. I didn’t really make this switch because of allergies–the store-bought ones are usually Read More …
