Missed Week 1 or Week 2? This past week, I picked up my CSA (Community Supported Agriculture – fresh, organic veggies from a local farm called Two Creeks Organics) box immediately prior to my 4.5 hour drive ‘up north’ to Mackinaw City, so I wasn’t able to capture of a photo of Week 3’s box … Continue reading
Spent the last few days in Mackinaw City! Driving north in Michigan does not exactly offer a plethora of dining choices that are easily accessible from I-75, so we elected Ponderosa to fulfill our ravenous hunger on the drive up. I started out with a plate like this… And ended with the plates below… But … Continue reading
I must share this awesome side dish recipe that I found in my Martha Stewart Everyday Food magazine (I received a free one-year subscription after redeeming my points for recycling at our house!). The first step was the slice the kernels off three corn cobs. I used Rachael Ray’s tip for placing the cob atop … Continue reading
Greetings! Have you ever tried chicken sausage? I saw an ad for Al Fresco brand chicken sausage in the most recent issue of Eating Well magazine, and saw a recipe I wanted to try: Spinach & Feta Chicken Sausage with Butternut Squash & Orzo Yesterday at Meijer I sought out chicken sausage, but came home … Continue reading
Garlic scapes were today’s fun new ingredient. These guys showed up in my CSA box this week, so I had to find a way to use them. Garlic scape pesto is by far the most common internet recipe to be found for these guys, so this afternoon I went ahead and made, you guessed it, … Continue reading

Here’s what was in our half-share box: For dinner I made a pair of large salads containing four of our box ingredients: lettuce, scallions, radishes, and haikuri (Japanese spring turnips). This was my first … Continue reading
Two years ago, if you’d told me that one day I would eat a meal with tomatoes, Italian sausage, and brussels sprouts and love it, I’d say you were cray-cray. But it happened. This easy recipe with minimal ingredients was such a nice departure from the usual dinners. Polenta Rounds with Sausage Ragout Recipe from … Continue reading
You may remember, last week, I tried cooking with Turkey Kielbasa for the first time. Well it was so good that I decided to try another recipe using it. This time I made a soup: Kielbasa Bean Soup Recipe from Taste of Home So many veggies in this soup! Two onions, two green peppers, … Continue reading
Last night was the “Under the Sea” Bang. Which meant lots of sailor-striped outfits. And sharks. And ridiculously-posed pictures, accompanied by Five Cent Femme. MegGetsNommedByShark?: ..Also lots of utterly ridiculous dance moves. Possibly dancing to “Rock Lobster” below? Horrendous. An intense night! Perfect night for The Bang! – warm enough to wear little rompers, … Continue reading
As promised, here are details on the brownies I made yesterday. The recipe I used is from another blogger that I follow, Jenna, over at Eat, Live, Run. For these Raspberry Jam Brownies, I first assembled all of the ingredients. Anything involving one cup of melted dark chocolate MUST be good, amirite? Throw a carton … Continue reading
