Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
I bought a flat iron steak for the first time a month ago and didn't really know what to make with it. I went through my stack of recipes, you know the stack that consists of pages ripped out of magazines just waiting to be used! I found an old copy of the All You… Continue reading Balsamic-Marinated Flat Iron Steak
We went apple picking today and I bought about 10 pounds of apple. I've already used half of them to make applesauce and wanted to bake with some of the others. I found this recipe on Allrecipes and modified it to make it a little healthier and remove some of the sugar. I baked them… Continue reading Apple Streusel Muffins
We love salmon and I found this recipe a couple years ago in Everyday with Rachel Ray Magazine. It's been awhile since my daughter has had salmon and she gobbled it up tonight for dinner. She even asked to have it for lunch tomorrow! I'd say that was a success and I need to add… Continue reading Salmon Cakes
I bought an acorn squash at the Farmer's Market last week and had planned to use it last week, but didn't get around to it. I made it tonight with salmon cakes and a salad.

My daughter and I went grocery shopping yesterday and there was a rack of recipes. I saw this one for peanut butter dip and figured it would be another way to add protein to my daughter's snacks. This was super easy and tastes great with animal crackers, celery or any fruits. You can substitute curry… Continue reading Peanut Butter Dip

I see many trips to the orchard to pick apples in our future!Peel and cube apples. Place into a microwave steamer bag.… Continue reading Applesauce
I’m having a hard time finding meatless recipes to make since I’m not a fan of eggplant and I think every recipe I’ve found has eggplant in it. I had this recipe for a year or so, it was given out by a mushroom farmer that had a stand at my town’s farmer’s market. I… Continue reading Mushroom Chili
The last batch of granola that I made went over well. I wanted to try something a little different and found a recipe on Tasty Kitchen. I changed a couple things about it but kept the wet ingredients the same. I want to find a recipe that makes clusters of granola rather than a cereal type… Continue reading Pecan Granola
Now that it's feeling more like fall, I'm ready to start using my oven for more than just baking. We haven't had pork in a long time and I couldn't pass up the sale at Giant last week. Buy one pack, get one free - I mean really, who can't pass that up! I usually… Continue reading Apple Glazed Pork Tenderloin
I had a luncheon at work last week and we were asked to bring in desserts. I've been in the mood to make cupcakes but didn't want to end up eating most of them. This was the perfect opportunity! I was short on time otherwise I would have attempted to make my own frosting. I… Continue reading Snickerdoodle Cupcakes
