The love affair with bacon is hard to deal with when you really don’t want to be eating a whole pound of bacon at one time because you don’t want it to go bad, especially when there are only two people living in your house. The Husband was trying to be a good man and… Read more
Bakin Bacon!
Husband calls bacon the gateway meat. It has to be one of the most addictive meat products you can buy in the market. I’ve known a few vegetarians who would randomly crave bacon from time to time. It’s an addictive substance that I am so glad is socially acceptable. The one thing I really hate… Read more
I Have Been To The Edge…

Balsamic Chicken and Tomato Pasta
Balsamic vinegar is one of my favorite things that I really don’t know what to do with half the time. It has the greatest sweet and tangy flavor to it that is fantastic when you dip garlic bread in it. There is only one main dish I’ve ever had made with balsamic in the actual… Read more

Which means I benefit by having everyone give me bags and containers of tomatoes! Tomato season now makes me so excited, ever since my coworker brought me home grown tomatoes for the first… Read more
Easy Berry Trifle
A few years ago I made a trifle by the seat of my pants for a little get together. Now keep in mind there were only 4 of us and I used my largest mixing bowl to make it. We ate the whole thing. Just the 4 of us. Insanity. I made it again for… Read more
