Here’s an easy weekday meal if you like curries. This sweet and spicy Thai dish gets its robust flavor from a pre-packaged paste and my absolute favorite brand is Maesri. Just follow the directions on the container (sometimes we just approximate…you can’t go wrong with […]

This is my fourth pie in eight years, my second in a week. The first 2 times were a flop…let’s not even go there. The last pie turned out pretty delicious actually but unfortunately, it wasn’t a pretty sight to behold after it was cut […]

I was flipping through my Southern Living cookbook when this recipe caught my eye – Chicken Pot Pie with a cheddar crust (not sure why I had never noticed it before…too many cookbooks :-D). The recipe seems fairly simple and I love that it uses […]

We just had our first snow two days ago – Alex was extremely excited and immediately asked to go outside to “shovel” (i.e. scoop snow up with the shovel and dump it wherever he likes). 😀 We even managed to build a small snowman (which […]

I’m almost embarrassed to admit that after living here for more than 10 years and with an apple orchard five minutes down the street, I have never made applesauce from scratch before until now. There wasn’t really any reason to – applesauce can easily be […]

As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program, I received a couple boxes of Kellogg’s Special K Red Berries with added fiber to try out. Both hubby and I have been long-time fans of Kellogg’s Special K Red Berries. That’s right, hubby included! In fact, it’s […]
