Sugar Coma-No Bake Cookie Cheesecake
I make things up as I go, and I do the same thing with food often. I don’t wake up in the morning, and think to myself, “Today, I must invent a new recipe for a no-bake cheesecake.” Not me, … Continue reading

Bacon Ritz crackers?
This time of year, I’m not enthusiastic about cooking. We still get hungry though. We’re just more inclined to seek cool, no-cooking-required foods. Peanut butter, cheese, tuna, chicken, turkey, and cold cuts are all favorites. We even cooked a turkey … Continue reading

Skippy peanut spread with dark chocolate taste test
After trying whipped peanut butter with s’mores flavoring recently, and because we’re huge peanut-butter-and-chocolate fans here, we tried Skippy peanut spread with dark chocolate. It sounded great, right? This time, the taste test was on our own dime too. It … Continue reading

At my house
I’m a really good cook, not a fancy cook. I can be very creative at cooking. I write about food, cooking, and recipes, and have done so for years now. That doesn’t mean that every meal is a gourmet experience … Continue reading
New books, summer, and me
I have been one busy person the past few months. Unfortunately, things like this blog have been neglected in the meantime. Good intentions don’t create real blog posts! So here’s what’s been happening. First, there was a “preview” book released … Continue reading

Great new product for mushroom lovers
I discovered something in the freezer case, in the vegetable section, that has me smiling. I love mushrooms, which aren’t exactly cheap. I also hate slicing them, so often buy the pre-sliced ones. They don’t cost that much more, and … Continue reading
Chicken Fajita Nachos
Everybody, or so it seems, loves nachos. They are easy to make, easy to serve, and messy to eat, but we still love to eat them. This recipe kicks them up a notch, turning a favorite snack into a meal … Continue reading
