I had a version of these meatballs at a golf club recently, and they were pretty dang yummy. Now this is my take on it. They didn’t have the sun-dried tomatoes, but rather golden raisins. I thought my family would […]
This is a recipe that you can throw together the night before and stick it in the crockpot warmer before you go off to work. Â Summer sports are in full swing here, so that means we are running about 7 […]
Warning: This makes a lot, so you need a big slow cooker. Â I also estimated, as I was just throwing things in the crockpot. Â This is a VERY hearty soup, and you don’t *need* everything that I put in there. […]
On Pinterest (the Mecca of crafty inspiration) I saw a picture about burning designs into leather with a wood burning tool. Hey…I had leather…AND a wood burning tool. Of course I had to give it a go. I have a […]
Oh the kids had fun with this! Our friend has a big fishing boat that can go out on the open water on Lake Michigan. Â It has a large motor, and it worked VERY well in the tubing department. Â He […]

Haricot verts = skinny green beans A friend made this dish for us on New Years Eve several years ago, and I fell in love. Â It has a great sweet, tangy flavor to it and is a wonderful side dish. […]
Ah, summertime. Time for grilling! I made these on Friday night, along with a marinated pork tenderloin and skewered Vidalia onions. We served it with a lovely Carlisle Syrah, and then spent the rest of the evening enjoying the night […]
We had a golden birthday over here this month, so *luckily* it was also the year of the friend party. I would have probably caved on the sleepover if it wasn’t the year she could have her friends over (we […]
I have made this a few times already, so I thought I would finally get some pictures! Â I saw the “stuffing” part as a grilled cheese sandwich recipe, so I took it a step further and modified it for a […]
