The full NYE recap will be in another post, but there was one dish I made for the New Years pregame I hosted that deserves it’s very own post here and now. You don’t hear “lettuce wraps” without thinking of P.F. Changs. I think even people who have never eaten at P.F. Changs know the…

I may be terrible at normal sports, but I excel at skiing. The fact that neither my body nor an instrument needs to make contact with any sort of ball means I actually have a fighting chance at doing well. This year I skied better than ever before. I dominated the moguls and had both…

My love for moose (mooses? meeses? mice?) is family legend that is revisited each time we go skiing out West, aka Moose Country.

I had mentioned in my Oyster Roast post that Allison made an appetizer that I had plans to steal and this week I did just that at book club. I promised I would give Allison full credit and here I am, giving her a big pat on the back for sharing this recipe because it…

Since my Sunday night meal, consisted primarily of healthy leftovers, I decided to splurge a little with the side dish. I suppose when the side dish is a gratin, a dish known for it’s cream and cheese, it’s more than a small splurge. Oh well, it was good and my tummy was happy. I used…

I’ve seen people making lasagna rollups on the Food Network for years now but never thought it was for me. What could be easier than regular lasagna? Lasagna rollups, that’s what. While I cooked the lasagna noodles, I mixed up ricotta, shredded mozzarella, and fresh spinach (you could use frozen if you prefer but defrosting…
