Cracking eggs one carton at a time.
Who says potato salad has to only be a side dish? Throw some protein in there and you can eat it for a nice, chill lunch. Or, at least that's what I'm telling myself to make myself feel better for eating a bowl full of carbs for lunch today. My constant experimentation with potato salad… Continue reading BLT Potato Salad
I have to get something off my chest: I loathe melons. Watermelon and honeydew. Gross. I'd rather eat a handful of rocks than those two fruits. And don't even get me started on cantaloupe; that stuff was truly sent to earth by the devil.

I was locked out by mother nature. I finally was able to yank my door open and get my ice… Continue reading Edamame Succotash

I get inspired by a recipe and I… Continue reading Wild Rice Pilaf with Sweet Potato & Mushrooms
