New York Style Pizza Crust and Sauce Recipe. It happened for a reason. I’m sure of it. I was browsing Facebook one day last month when I came across a status update from Nicole at Pinch My Salt. She said something to the effect of “I’m not going to eat out for one month.. think…

Wishes Growing Up (Recipe Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry)
When I was growing up, we lived in the country, 3 miles south of a very small town. Most all of my friends lived in town. I was always so jealous of the conveniences my friends had because of the fact that they lived in town. They could walk to each others homes to hang…
Identity Crisis (Shrimp and Asparagus Recipe)
This simple Shrimp and Asparagus Pasta Recipe makes a great, family friendly weeknight meal! Minus the fried ice cream and funnel cakes, our family has been trying to eat a bit healthier lately.

Admiration and I’ll admit it… Jealousy! (Pasta Carbonara)

Autumn in a Bundle
It is now September. September! Can you believe that? I love spring. I adore summer. I am crazy about autumn! The only thing I don’t like about autumn is that at the end comes winter, and I could totally and completely do without winter. Autumn conjures up so many warm and cozy feelings for me….
Hand Me Downs
My husband and I have an ongoing disagreement about hand me downs. When our children outgrow their undies, I do not believe they should be passed on… to a younger sibling, to Goodwill, to cousins.. to anyone. Yes, I know they are washed and clean but I just have issues with that kind of undergarment…
