Green Beans for Any Meal
I promised you a green recipe didn’t I? Well here it is! I have a confession…I used to HATE green beans! I would refuse to eat them when I was younger, and when I say refuse…I mean RE-FUSE! The only time I started eating green beans was in college because I was too poor to eat anything but the cafeteria…

Steaks – Cast Iron Style
Happy Thursday! This week has been seriously nutty. Seems like it is so busy for me. Maybe it is because everyone is just getting back to work from the holidays, which always causes all sorts of pandemonium. Or at least it does at my office. I feel like getting back to my daily grind and schedule, I guess I didn’t…

Christmas
Can you believe it? Another Christmas has come and gone…I can hardly believe it.

How did I manage to find four words that started with…

Leftover Breakfast
I am sad to say that I normally do not eat breakfast during the week…I am normally too busy in the morning to get something to eat and then once I get to work it is go-go-go. So, I normally just drink my coffee or tea and wait until lunchtime. On the weekend though, that is another story! I could…
