Breaking away from the day to day
Ah, St. Patrick’s Day….the day we all wear green to avoid getting pinched and drink green beer until we can’t stand anymore. Wait a minute…that was when I was in college! One of my all time FAVORITE meals for St. Patrick’s Day is Shepherd’s Pie. There’s something about a ground beef mixture with creamy potatoes…
This summer I have let myself go. I haven’t worked out, I’ve eaten everything in sight, and I’ve laid around most of the time when I wasn’t working. This sloth-like quality has taken a toll on my “bottom line.” In plain English, my butt has gotten really big! The problem is….I LOVE FOOD! One of…
Now that school is back in session, and our homework and sports schedules take up a lot of our time, I like to cook meals that are easy to prepare. On my more busy days, my Crock Pot is my new best friend. I feel so much more relaxed knowing that he is doing all…

So, if you’re anything like me (which I know you are), then you are always looking for recipes that are time saving, easy, and well, keep you sane in the kitchen. I’ve mentioned before that on weekends my family normally watches some type of sporting event on TV while snacking in a “buffet” style. Although…
My Nanny was the greatest woman that I have ever known. She was so direct and not withholding of any of her thoughts or opinions. (I wish I were more like that.) Even though she didn’t think so, she was a great cook as well. She liked to make what she called, “peasant food.” Italian…
