So.Much.Food. It’s the morning after Christmas day, and I feel like I can’t eat for a few, well, days. I am still SO full from all the food that has been consumed this weekend. The huz and I, Christmas Eve at my aunt and uncle’s: All the fine ladies: AMAZING spread of food! Wonderful spinach … Continue reading
This year a few of my co-workers and I did a Secret Santa gift exchange. Last year we did a White Elephant gift exchange, which involved buying a random gift and wrapping it, drawing numbers, and then having each person select a random gift and open it in order, according to the number they had … Continue reading
This week’s Food Swoons: Biercamp Brats – We tried a new flavor: Gouda Portobello. These were amazing and are probably my second favorite Biercamp brat, second only to Jalapeno Pepperjack, of course! The melty gouda tasted incredible and was abundant, and paired well with the earthy mushroom component of the brats. Roasted Brussels Sprouts & … Continue reading
Turkey Kielbasa is my favorite quick protein with which to cook, as of late. I threw this dinner together in minutes last night. The recipe is called Polynesian Skillet Supper and is from Taste of Home (clearly my favorite recipe source!).

…with the whoop-de-do and hickory dock. And don’t forget to hang up your sock. Um…anyways. Despite the lack of snow and temperatures in the 50s this month in Michigan, it actually is starting to feel like the holiday season around here. No tree for us, but the decorations are out and the lights are hung … Continue reading
For the past few years, it has been my holiday tradition to make THESE truffles (consisting of simply cream cheese mixed with melted dark chocolate, dipped in more dark chocolate) using this recipe from Kraft. This year, I made a slight variation on the original and tried Kraft’s Oreo Truffles Recipe. The truffle filling was … Continue reading
Have you Ann Arborites been to Dimo’s? I don’t think I would have ever given this place a second glance if it were not for recommendations from others in the area. Dimo’s is located in an area that’s not exactly on my “radar,” over on West Stadium Blvd. This past Saturday I went to grab … Continue reading
It’s been a few days, because, well… I haven’t been cooking much this past week! This past week I attempted to use up as many pantry/freezer/fridge items as possible, rather than go grocery shopping, which meant that the meals I cooked weren’t very bloggable. (Unless you’re really interested in seeing what a pan of Rice-A-Roni … Continue reading
If you ever become a food blogger (or if you currently are!) you’ll eventually realize that there are some meals that don’t require busting out the camera, because you already have a stockpile of pictures of the same food at home. Whenever I eat at Palm Palace, I get the night off food photography because … Continue reading
