This is a wonderful pie recipe courtesy of The Joy of Cooking, originally written for blueberries, but I made it with blackberries tonight. We froze a lot of blackberries and blueberries late last summer to use throughout the winter and spring, and we're slowly but surely working through them. ...

This was an easy dinner that hardly qualifies as a recipe. I bought some center-cut bone-in pork chops on sale, sprinkled them liberally with Montreal Steak Seasoning, and put them on the grill over medium low heat for about 20 minutes total, turning halfway through. I also put ...

This was my first attempt at making salsa. My workplace will be having a salsa contest for Cinco de Mayo, so I have to get a killer recipe in place :-)
This was loosely based off of several recipes that I found online at some point or another. ...

For breakfast I fried some eggs and deli ham and put them on toasted sourdough english muffins. A quick and filling breakfast. We also hard boiled some eggs, but no pictures of those.
