We are big fans of sandwiches here, in all shapes and forms. Since I bought a bunch of frozen mahi-mahi fillets on sale a little while back, I figured we might as well start eating the things. We had some on salad once (from our garden of course) and they were great....
Most of the time when Stefan is on vacation, I fall out of my usual groove a bit and don’t run around like a crazy woman all day. You probably noticed by my lack of posts for the last week or so…and I’m just now starting to catch up on everything here in the house. I...
If you read this blog often, you might remember that we are avid pizza eaters. This week we had zucchini and rosemary pizza TWICE. And it wasn't just because we were trying to use up our zucchini (that's what zucchini bread is for) but because it just tasted THAT...
Learn how to make and can your own jalapeño hot sauce at home with fresh peppers. Easy, flavorful, and shelf-stable — the perfect homemade hot sauce recipe.

The weather was cooler last week; a nice change from the blazing sun we’d been having. So I thawed out some minestrone soup and decided to make breadsticks to accompany. I’ve never tried making breadsticks before but as usual, with a bread machine, the process can go...
Even when living in a foreign country, the Fourth of July is always a special occasion for us. So we fired up our ugly barrel drum smoker and cooked one mean pork shoulder. We made pulled pork sandwiches out of the finished product which turned out fantastic. This...
Homemade ice cream is SO easy to make with an ice cream machine. I don’t know why I don’t make it more often. Maybe it’s the fear of then having to eat it all! 🙂 But seriously, if you use a no-cook recipe for ice cream, throwing the ingredients together and pouring...
For those who have never heard of (or forgotten) what the K.I.S.S. method is, it means: Keep It Simple Stupid. Since the day we started feeding "solids" to Mackenzie, it was apparent that she wouldn't be settling for jarred baby food very long. The only boxed thing...
