Tortilla Soup with Chicken
| 
Lately, I’ve really been in to making our house smell lived in.
And by a “lived in” smell, I definitely do not mean the aroma of a seventy-two pound black lab or a laundry basket of overflowing with dirty gym socks. Read the rest of this entry »

The Best Peanut Butter Cookies You Will Ever Have…Period
| 
I had a revelation a few years back. Has this ever happened to you?
When we were growing up, the ONLY kind of peanut butter my mom would buy was Skippy Super Chunk. There was always a jar of it in the cupboard, and we had it on our toast and in our cold lunch almost every day. I didn’t even realize that smooth peanut butter existed until the mid-70’s or so, when I had lunch over at a friend’s house! Read the rest of this entry »

Shrimp Fried Rice

Even though I consider myself to be one of Sendik’s greatest fans, there are some days when I just plain don’t feel like putting on lipstick and going to the store. I hope this doesn’t lower your opinion of me. While on most days, I do so adore going grocery shopping, sometimes I just don’t have it in me.
Yesterday was one of those days… I just. Couldn’t. Do it. Read the rest of this entry »
Shrimp Curry with Spinach
| 
I did something so stupid yesterday. I made my grocery list and went to the Store, where I filled my cart with the appropriate produce required for this dish. When got to the seafood counter, I realized that I had miss-read the sale ad – the shrimp I actually needed for this recipe were not the ones that were on sale. DOH! I ended paying $15.00 – not exactly in keeping with the frugal theme of this ‘here blog. Read the rest of this entry »
Salsa Baked Goat Cheese
| 
Mmmm, I have a problem with cheese. Goat cheese, in particular. I can’t seem to incorporate enough of it in to my diet.
This creamy, luscious platter of yumminess was what I was planning on bringing to a friend’s house as an appetizer last night. Read the rest of this entry »

Roast Chicken Dinner
| 
I dropped my punks off at school yesterday morning, and as usual, the last minute morning pleasantries were exchanged – you know the ones – depending on the mood in the car, they’re usually something along the lines of “I love you! Have a great day! Do your best!” But yesterday, instead of professing her love for me, my youngest yelled out (no lie), “Can you please make chicken legs for dinner, BYE!!”…and with that, the car door slammed shut and she was off.

Thai-Style Beef Noodle Bowls
| 
Gosh, I hate being sidelined. This morning, after I got the kiddos off to school, fired 50 tennis balls to the DamDog, and cleaned up the breakfast aftermath, I grabbed a cup of coffee, fired up the laptop, and as usual, cruised the current sale ad for dinner inspiration. I do so wish I had it in me to hobble to the store then play in the kitchen all day, but alas, it’s not to be. Gotta chill. Literally. The foot is elevated and resting comfortably on a ziplock bag full o’ ice. Read the rest of this entry »
