Honey, can I turn on the heat?

It’s freezing here today.  The thermostat has barely hit 65.  And, its raining.  In fact, I can’t remember the last time it didn’t rain.  Very unseasonable for this time of year.  We’ve been traveling far more than I desire to this summer.  Off on vacation with the in-laws, picnics and bbq’s, local fairs, bridal showers [...]

Spring Pasta Salad

This salad deserves it’s own post – it’s that good. Oh my. Spring Pasta Salad (Click here for a Printable recipe) I don’t have a lot of experience with asparagus or squash.

Chicken Cordon Blue

Chicken Cordon Blue Bleu Tuesday is golf day around here. After work I pick up my husband (we commute together) and he drops me off at home then speeds north to the driving range. On these nights we don’t eat together, he usually eats on the road (read: fast food) and I take the opportunity [...]
