One of those days…
….yesterday. (that’s a good Beatles song btdubs – “btdubs” is how I say bytheway, because if you say ‘W’ out loud it can be said as “dub” – just a little fun fact about Raven 😉 ) Yesterday was one of those days where it was absolutely necessary to blast AC/DC on my way home from work…and also one of…

Veggie Junkie
::sigh:: I just love vegetables. I really do! I get such a hard time from most people about loving vegetables so much, but I swear, cross my heart and hope to die, that I really, TRULY love vegetables! 🙂 My dad tells me that I was a rabbit in another life because I eat so many vegetables… maybe that is…

Tomato Pie (wait…what?)
Yes. You read it right..tomato pie. Tomatoes are in season right now, and I know, I know…you are supposed to make salsa and tomato sauce with the leftover 101 tomatoes you have from your garden…welllll, I decided to break from the mold and try something new. Yup, you guessed it, tomato pie! Fair warning: this is pretty time consuming recipe…then again, I…

To dine or Not to dine
I have to admit…sometimes it is nice to dine out! I swear sometimes even a mediocre meal can be fabulous when you dine out, JUST because you aren’t the one making it, hehe ;-). Honestly, I have been blessed in my dining experiences…I can probably count on one hand the amount of times I was less than satisfied with a…

Family, Friends, & Fabulous Food
I love cooking for people. I don’t think there is anything better than when you have people you love around you enjoying a great meal. My parents hosted a get together for some close family friends who came to visit from PA. Our visitors used to be our neighbors when we lived in PA. When I was a teenager, I…

Love summer time! Summer time to me is so much fun, not just for the sun and vacations…but for the grill! I find that if I am ever in doubt as to what I should make for dinner…I head for the grill. You can make some of the best food on the grill….although I have to admit I have had…

Zucchini & Squash Pasta (aka I have WAY too many veggies right now from the garden…so what can I come up with? haha)
CLEARLY! You can see that I have an excessive amount of vegetables that I need to use. Apart from my making zucchini bread every other day I wanted to come up with something to use all these goodies. Let’s put our thinking caps on here….. Ingredients: 1 Zucchini 1 yellow squash (seeded) 3 small tomatoes (any kind you like –…

Cucumber & Sour Cream Salad
This one of my favorite recipes…has been for a really long time. My mother taught me to how to make it and her grandmother taught her how to make it. I know that many people have probably heard of it, eaten it, made it…but it is a family tradition that I wanted to share so others could maybe do that…

Momma knows best…
My mother is a great cook! She taught me most of what I know about food. So whenever she makes something…I am always one of the first people at the table to be the guinea pig. 🙂 She has a very beautiful garden and always uses her fresh vegetables and herbs to cook (which is where I learned it). Literally…

Garden Fresh…
On top of everything else I do…I enjoy working out. I really try my hardest to work out 3 times a week (on top of playing softball in an adult league, which I do 2 times a week). So, a lot of times I really would rather just go to the gym right from work…that way I don’t get settled…
