As I was browsing the Food TV networks website, I saw this recipe that looked quick and easy. It was featured on a show about “All American Festivals.” I love those shows a lot because its just regular people making fantastic things! Ingredients 5 tomatoes, …
Holy cow I had a busy weekend! And wonderful! Except for rain in the afternoon on Monday, the weather cooperated and it was perfect this weekend! So, I will fill you in on my activities! Party pizza Friday, Water friends yard while they are out …
When I got home from work, well even before I got home, I told myself I was going to work out before dinner. I announced it to my family when I walked in the door, immediately got changed and got busy! I did 20 minutes …
What a busy weekend! I didn’t go on-line at all! But I wanted to share a great recipe I found from Fitness Magazine. I wasn’t able to download my pics because as I was downloading them, I have no more space on my computer! Maybe …
I’m so excited because for Mother’s Day I got two Topsy Turvey Tomato plants. Have you seen the infomercial about it? It’s a hanging bag, you put the seeds at the bottom, fill it with soil, hang it from a hook, and the plants grow …
Sometimes when its a busy day at work, or big homework night I like to keep things in the freezer that will take no time to cook. I was so happy to see these things in my freezer! I had Butterball Turkey Smoked Sausages. They …
This orzo with spinach and feta pasta salad is so delicious – I’ve made it so many times over the years, and I love it more each time I make it! I’ve mentioned before I am a magazine-a-holic. Until the last year, I had stacks …
First of all, I picked up these cute bananas at the store this past weekend. I wanted to surprise my kids by putting them in their school lunches. I wish I could have been there to see their reaction! They said the kids at their …

OK, so I stole this recipe from my sister. She entered a cooking contest and used this sauce as its base. As she was describing it, I thought to myself, I always make spaghetti sauce, but no other kind of sauce to go with pasta (besides pesto). So, …
I am doing my research paper for my Nutrition class on Veganism and what kinds of foods you can eat. I am not interested in being Vegan per se, but as for the ingenuity of baking in an alternative way, I am intrigued by all …
I usually make this side dish with orzo: fresh spinach, garlic, lemon juice, and feta cheese, and olive oil. Since I make that one all the time, I decided to see if I could find a different recipe for this awesome pasta. I love …
