So I have been inactive for over a week and I am truly sorry.  I had my tonsils out last Monday and have been unable to do anything but take pain medicine since.  However, today I just advanced past slushies and milk shakes to mashed potatoes.  Do you guys have any suggestions to help out [...]

Asparagus Frittata

Whenever I have a ton of left overs and I want to clear out the fridge I try to find something new and exciting to try. I love eggs and they go with almost any flavor. You can make them sweet in desserts or savory in a quiche. So I wanted to use eggs and [...]

Quick and Easy Hamburger Buns

Easy Hamburger Buns

Without owning a hamburger bun pan, I have been unable to make perfectly round hamburger buns.  The other day I accidentally figured out how to make perfect buns.  Not only did they have perfectly round bottoms but they have perfect tops too.  The process will work with almost any bread dough, but it worked great [...]

After a long week of celebrating I think everyone deserves a shot.  I was lacking mixers but ended up finding out that vodka and apple juice are awesome together.  The addition of some whipped cream and a pinch of cinnamon and you have an amazing apple pie shot.

Margherita Pasta Salad

Margherita Pasta Salad

I am always on the lookout for a new pasta salad.  Pasta salads are the perfect side dishes for bbqs.  If you are spending all day outside cooking, the last thing you want to do is run in the house and cook sides.  Pasta salads can be prepared the day before and they are cool [...]

Banana Bread

Banana Bread

I purchased a bunch of bananas last week. That was before I realized how long I was going to be gone for Memphis. I ended up being in Memphis for 5+ days. So when I came back, I had a bunch of extremely ripe bananas. So I decided to make some banana bread. I love [...]

Pear Martini

Pear Martini

The other week I recreated the infamous honey baked ham.  In doing this, I used pear nectar.  The jar of pear nectar that I had was way too big, so I had a lot left over.  I used the remaining nectar to make martinis.  Yep, pear martinis.  They were so good that you could barely taste [...]
