If you ever come to my house, be forewarned… there’s a shoe thief in the midst. If you couldn’t guess by Kelly’s comment about Santa Claus, my three year old daughter has a thing for shoes. Not just a thing… a serious obsession. She will stop complete strangers on the street and tell them what…

The Skyscraper
My "baby" turned 5 years old yesterday (head over to our family blog for my reflection on the past 5 years). For his birthday he got to choose the place that we’d eat lunch at after he got out of school. He chose Winstead’s Diner, after hearing a friend of his talk about the gigantic…
5 Years – Reflecting
5 years ago today, I walked out of my plush office in Overland Park. I left my high paying salary, my clients, my successful reputation in the industry behind. I left it all to enter into a partnership that would take me on the ride of my life. I left all of that to become…
Food & Wine Magazine 100 Tastes to Try in 2007 – Taste #15 Aspen Kettle Corn
Kettle corn and Food and Wine Magazine. Seems like an odd combination, doesn’t it? That’s what I first thought when I noticed that Aspen Kettle Corn was taste #15 in Food and Wine Magazine’s 100 Tastes to Try in 2007. What could possibly make something as simple as kettle corn so special that it gets…
Food & Wine Magazine 100 Tastes to Try in 2007 – Taste #4 Greek Olive Oil
My first official “Must Taste” of 2007 is Food and Wine Magazine’s #4 taste – Greek Olive Oil. I’ve actually had the pleasure of tasting Greek Olive Oil in the past, but decided to do things right and give it a try in the year 2007. The olive oil I decided to use for this…
2007 Goals
I posted this info over in my Family Blog, but thought that some of it applied to the culinary side of my life, so thought I’d post it here too. For those of you that read both, sorry for the repetition! All of the talk this time of year seems to be about New Year’s…
Menu Planning Deviant
Today was the first day of getting back on the "follow my menu plan" bandwagon, and I have already had to stray. I wrote out my list of meals last week and when I went to prepare everything for tonight’s Chicken Marsala from the Good Home Cookbook, I realized I was missing the main ingredient….
Bread, Glorious Bread!
If you haven’t figured this out already, I’m a carb girl. I love a loaf of fresh baked bread and I am convinced that I could live on bread alone. I have yet to meet a bread I didn’t like. That’s not to say that I haven’t had a few bread making disasters in my…
Christmas Wrap Up
I’ve been meaning to get some Christmas photos posted all week, but time has sped by! We had a great Christmas. I spend Christmas Eve night with our neighbors who invited Ella and I over for their traditional White Chicken Chili. I’ve never had White Chili before and it was fabulous! Then, I went to…
Let’s see your kitchen!
Ilva over at Lucullian Delights has challenged all of us food bloggers to show everyone where the magic happens… the Kitchen. I love a challenge and I love seeing kitchens, so I was more than happy to participate. Here are two pictures of my kitchen. The second photo is of one of my favorite features…
