Latest Lunch Obsession

April 30, 2011

I’m definitely a person who goes through phases with food. I’ll eat the same thing for days, or even weeks on end. Then I’ll get bored and start eating something new. This only applies to breakfast, lunches, and snacks. Dinner is something different every night. Except about once a week when we get Lebanese carry-out. [...]

In the last couple of years, we have been celebrating St. George’s Day (April 23rd). This year, we were going to be out of town visiting [...]

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of posts lately (and an apology in advance, because there won’t probably be a new post until Tuesday). My husband is off of work for spring break so I’m working a lot, but also enjoying some time with him. Right now (well, not right now, but as soon as [...]

Herb and Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops

April 20, 2011

Me (menu planning): “I’m going to make pork chops.” Hubby: “I don’t really like pork chops, I’d rather eat pulled pork.” Me: ”Oh. I think I’m going to make them anyway. This recipe looks good.” Hubby: Gives me a look questioning why I tell him what I’m going to make if he doesn’t have any say [...]

Cream Cheese Filled Brownies

April 18, 2011

Let me begin by saying that we were having company over, which is the only reason I made these. I didn’t send the leftovers to work with my husband because they needed to be refrigerated. At least that was my story. The true story? These are good! I didn’t want to share. I should have shared, because [...]

Beautiful Spring Morning

April 18, 2011

We had some friends over last night, so I made this, with cream cheese brownies (that recipe coming soon–working this weekend, but I’ll do my best!). Our friends brought salad, it was a delicious [...]

Turkey Burgers (or, Turkey Burger Salad)

April 14, 2011

This warmer weather has me yearning for burgers, burgers, and more burgers. I had a package of ground turkey in the fridge that I thought was destined for spaghetti (cleaning out the cupboards this week). Instead, it met its fate in the form of burgers. Thick, juicy, flavorful burgers. Here is the biggest surprise of [...]
