The weather is turning beautiful, FINALLY. I am really looking forward to having some nice and sunny days. What I am not looking forward to is the HOT weather and the allergies. Stupid allergies. I’m pretty much allergic to everything, and so far this year has been kicking my butt. It almost makes me miss… Read more
Raspberry Oat Bars (Vegan, Egg/Dairy/Gluten Free)
I’ve been drawn to vegan recipes for a while now. Not that I have any inclination to turn vegan, but they can have some VERY healthy desserts and I don’t feel quite as guilty eating a vegan dessert as I do a regular dessert. I think that’s just because I sometimes feel guilty eating butter… Read more
Oats and Groats Pancakes (gluten free!)
My dear friend Marcy is a nutritionist, so I figure for the most part she’s a good influence on me when it comes to food. But I think that just comes with the territory of her job and her lovable hippy nature. Once when we went to visit her and her husband, she mentioned making… Read more
Roasted Kale Chips, A New Salty Craving?
I’ve now started the journey to eating better and trying to eat homemade rather than store bought junk, because even if you make junk at home it’s still usually better for you than mass produced. At least that’s my opinion. One of those things is chips. I love crunchy and salty, and while I’ve found… Read more
Mexican/Taco Spice Blend
I’ve been “bad” lately. We haven’t been eating at home as often as I want to, instead we go out to eat or just eat food that isn’t all that good for us. So as you can expect I haven’t been feeling all that awesome. My system feels all out of sorts and like it… Read more
Cracking Open The Apple Pie Moonshine
I cracked open the apple pie moonshine this weekend, and man it is good! This stuff is dangerous. I know I made it with Everclear, but I really thought that it would be diluted with all the juice I added to it. So imagine my surprise when I cracked it open after 3 weeks and… Read more
Caramel Corn
I’ve been looking into popcorn makers for a few weeks, and I could never get myself to actually pull the plug and buy one. I couldn’t justify spending the $20+ to buy something for the sole purpose of making popcorn. Even though I had been having a horrible, almost pregnancy style craving for caramel corn.… Read more
Making Moonshine? An Adventure In Alcohol
I am not a person that drinks a lot, mostly because I’m rather new to drinking. I can’t hold my alcohol, and it takes maybe half of a drink for me to get that nice relaxed feeling. Recently my coworker saw one of the Moonshiners shows, and on there they made an apple pie moonshine.… Read more
Fried Eggs and Rice, Most Awesome Breakfast Ever
I would say my husband thinks I’m crazy, but in reality he already knows I’m crazy and to him this is just more proof. I hadn’t tried a fried egg until earlier this year. I know. I must have lived such a sheltered life of only eating scrambled eggs. It wasn’t really sheltered though, more… Read more
Roasted Turkey Sans Bones (Mostly)
I trust everyone had a very happy and healthy Thanksgiving this year. Since we celebrated Thanksgiving the weekend before, I really wasn’t in that big of a hurry to make any turkey for ourselves. Our dinner with friends was so delicious and I was almost turkey’ed out, but I did buy my own turkey because… Read more
