I have fond sherbert memories from childhood. What? Most people don’t have food memories? Oh honey, I do. I’ve always loved food (perhaps a bit too much? Hello, gym membership!) But the sherbert from my childhood was always that stuff that came for $2 in the little plastic container and was...
Tacos are one of the few things our family could eat once a week, every single week and never get tired of. In fact, we do eat them pretty much every week. All this time I’ve been buying those little seasoning packets, and using double the seasoning amounts because they were...
Every morning I wake up thinking “Boy, do I need my coffee and spinach”. What? You don’t? That’s ok, neither do I. You don’t normally equate spinach with breakfast, right? Well NOW I do! I’ve been reading about these “Green Monster” smoothies for a few months now and my reaction...

When we go to Olive Garden (never. Brian hates it. HATES it. He’s so picky.) I always drool over the smoked mozzarella fonduta appetizer. Then one day, back in the I Suck At This Cooking Stuff days, I wandered online to search for a recipe. It’s melted cheese. It couldn’t...
It’s that time of year again. The leaves are changing colors, the temperatures are dropping. And the cold and flu season is upon us. Just ask my 4 month old, Madeline. Thankfully, just in time for this nasty illness season, I discovered this recipe for chicken noodle soup- the age...
This recipe comes from another of my ridiculous library book stack. I’d been going through the cookbooks and marking pages with sticky notes and I actually bypassed this one. Brian’s always telling me that he doesn’t like lemon, so a chicken flavored with lemon would be something he’d NEVER want...
At the rate we’re going, Brian’s venison is going to be gone before bow season even ends! This was our 2nd attempt at a new venison recipe and, sadly, I can take very little credit for this. The entire concept was Brian’s (which I believe he adapted from his brother)....
