BBQ!
Can you believe that August is almost over?! I can’t!! This summer has absolutely FLOWN by me. I can’t believe that kids (in general, not my own haha) are going back to school and that in a few weeks the leaves will be changing on the trees! I love Fall though! I love, love, love it! I love the leaves and the cooler weather but not cold weather. We get some pretty cold winters here in the Northeast. I really think that I love Fall so much because of the feeling I get around that time of year. When I was younger, I was always getting ready to go back…

iSalsa!
Yup! It that time of year for salsa again! I am going to go without a story in this blog, sorry fellow bloggers. I am just going to let the pictures tell the story this time…enjoy! There is my salsa! I hope you enjoy it. I like mine a little on the spicier side. Feel free to leave the hot peppers out of yours…it will be just as tasty!

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 don’t know of too many pies that aren’t pretty time consuming 😛 OK, so let’s begin, shall we? Ingredients for pie Crust: 1 stick of butter (unsalted) 1-1/4 cups all purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon sugar 2-4 tablespoons (very) cold water Directions for Pie Crust: Freezing the butter…

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 babysat their children (2 boys) for spending money in high school (and middle school too I believe). Let me tell you, there is nothing in the world that will make you feel older than seeing someone you used to change diapers for be, I don’t know, give or take, a…

Kabobs
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 some mishaps. Like, for example, the first time I tried to make pizza on the grill. Let’s just say the people at the grocery store saw me twice in one day, one hour apart. 😛 Anyways, I wanted to make something on the grill and kabobs are always a good…

Cape Cod 2010
I love being at the beach…to me the noise the waves make the sun, and the sand make probably the best combination ever… I just recently went to Wellfleet, Mass which is on Cape Cod. Was so beautiful and I wanted to share some of the photos that I took because I think they are gorgeous. PLUS, I love to take pictures!! I take so many pictures! Haha, I really think that most people get quite annoyed with me when I take so many…but I love to. Enjoy the beauty of the Cape below… apparently…I am a child at heart because at 25 I am still playing in the sand!…

Food!
Soooooo…since this is my first post I figured I would start out with the good stuff..FOOD I just got back from Cape Cod and made some delicious meals that I wanted to share with everyone!! I love bread…and more that just any kind of bread… I love bread dipped in olive oil. YUM! Is there anything better?? I say there is NOT! I also enjoy vegetables. ALL kinds of vegetables made in all sorts of different ways… Now, the finished meal, I must say was fantastic. Very light but also at the same time very filling…and extremely delicious! Steak to finish off the meal! Enjoy all the pictures of good…
