If you asked me where my keys, cell phone or sunglasses are...I may not be able to tell you. But if you asked me what we had for dinner at a friend's house 8 years ago...then I just may be able to tell ya. Seriously...some meals are[...]

Yellow Summer Squash Bake

I thought I’d try a different type of summer squash casserole. I wanted something without cheese. This was really easy to make. The butter and pork rind topping gives it a nice golden top. I seeded the squash first, but that isn’t[...]

Summer Fest Week 4 - Tomato Salad

Fresh Tomato Pasta - Healthy Summer Recipe

It was just one (okay, maybe just six) little cherry tomato plants that went into the ground this spring and now I am paying for it. The little red buggers seem to multiply on the counter when I'm not looking and more sneak into[...]
