Italian Beef Turnovers
Friday, October 30th, 2009This recipe was inspired by this Taste of Home recipe for Trick or Treat Turnovers. Shaun isn't a fan of mustard or cheese, so I took these a different route and did a sort of Italian-flavored filling. We thought the biscuits didn't quite match with the filling, which ...
Halloween for Emma
Friday, October 30th, 2009Emma's enjoying the cooler weather, but not so much the rain, nor the goofiness of the humans around Halloween. We picked up a banana costume for her this year, and a new felt braided poofy ball to make up for it. She quickly dismantled the ball into a ...
A Nice Steak Dinner
Monday, October 19th, 2009My mom is in town for just the evening, so we had a nice steak dinner as we watched the Broncos game. It was really nice to catch up with her :-)
Emma Playing Fort
Sunday, October 18th, 2009We started keeping a sheet over our couch in a futile attempt to control the corgi hair. This rarely works, as Emma has decided that she likes snuggling under the sheet. Here are a few pictures of her (and me) under the sheet.
Pollo al Rhum
Sunday, October 18th, 2009I got this recipe from the Tasty Kitchen website. It was the featured recipe a few days ago and I marked it to try. I slightly reduced the butter and used freshly grated nutmeg. This was a very juicy and flavorful chicken, and I'll definitely make it ...
Emma’s Kitty Impressions
Thursday, October 15th, 2009Emma loves to get up on the back and arms of our couch. She walks along or just perches. We tell her that she's not a kitty cat, but I don't think she listens :-P
Spaghetti with Italian Sausage Red Sauce
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009This was a quick and easy meal. I got some great locally made chicken Italian sausage (made by Isernio's Sausage). It's very lean and quite tasty. If you use regular Italian sausage, you might want to drain the skillet before starting to make the sauce. Spaghetti with Italian ...
Firecracker Barbecue Pork
Monday, October 12th, 2009This recipe comes from the package of the bone-in center-cut pork loin roast that I picked up at the store today. It can also be found at http://www.TheOtherWhiteMeat.com/. The original recipe called for grilling, but I just baked it in the oven. I upped the quantities of ...
Baked Buffalo Wings
Sunday, October 11th, 2009This is a simple, easy, and tasty game day snack. My Broncos pulled out a great win, and I actually think they might go places this season now! We like these with a fair bit of a kick. If you like them milder, increase the butter and ...
