Eating and living locally . . . mindfully . . . simply.
When the Culinary Arts College at Baltimore International College invited me to test one of their recipes, I knew as soon as I saw it that I would get DH to try the Barbeque Rib Sauce. There’s nothing like DH’s smoked ribs, but I’ve often wished he would do a sauce with them. It was the perfect opportunity!
This is an old favorite recipe from my Pampered Chef days, which I had forgotten about. It’s a real crowd-pleaser.
Every other week or so we have Sunday dinner with my mom & dad and my sisters and their families. This week Collective Bias provided Cold Stone Cocoa for us to try!
If you’re looking for the perfect Christmas gift for your favorite cook, why not consider spice sets? Spices, Inc. provided me with some samples earlier this year, and I can vouch that they are very high quality and fresh!
Can’t remember something I posted about or reviewed over the past year that would make a perfect gift for the cook or foodie in your life? Never fear, here’s a quick list of the posts that mention items I’d suggest as great gift items. This post shared at Works for Me Wednesday
I’m not entirely sure why this bread is called “Pilgrim’s Bread” in the cookbook More-With-Less. Maybe it’s the corn meal? Regardless, it’s pretty rustic and tasty.
I am so thankful – DH got a deer this year! Our freezer was just about EMPTY. I’m always surprised when people tell me they don’t like venison, or don’t know how to cook it. Here are some tips I’ve learned over a lifetime of eating it:
I’m sure many people buck the green bean casserole trend; unfortunately, my family is not among them. Even DH, who has admittedly become quite a bit more crunchy along with me over the past couple of years, puts his foot down when it comes to what to make his family for Thanksgiving. And so, I can only imagine, what I would serve if the menu were completely up to me.
When I was a senior in high school, I worked at Burger King. It is slightly ironic because my name is Wendy (and yes, I got comments about that all the time!). One day a woman came in and wanted to speak with our manager, because she felt we should do away with the plastic ketchup packets and install ketchup dispensers because of the environment. This was the early 90s, so green was not quite as popular back then (remember AquaNet?)
