Happy New Year!

Monday, December 31st, 2012

We wish you all the best in the new year! We made our usual sweet and sour little sausages and some baked corn tortilla chips (just cut up tortillas, sprayed lightly with oil, sprinkled with kosher salt, and baked at 450 degrees F for about 10 minutes) for snacks. :-) ...

Cornflake Chicken

Monday, December 31st, 2012

We made cornflake chicken, with my usual addition of season salt in the cornflake crumbs, for dinner last night, and the reflection on the knife was just kinda neat in the picture, so I'm sharing. Don't mind me. :-P

Product Review: Oscar Mayer Selects Turkey Hot Dogs

Sunday, December 30th, 2012

We picked up some Oscar Mayer Selects Turkey Dogs at the store yesterday, looking for a healthier but still tasty option to satisfy a hot dog craving. We enjoyed some of the other products in the Selects line, and were hopeful for these. We heated some up for lunch and ...

Cranberry Cake

Wednesday, December 26th, 2012

Lots o' trusty standbys, not much in the way of new things, but I'm looking forward to experimenting some with the time off for Christmas!

Christmas Treats

Saturday, December 22nd, 2012

Apple Cranberry Turkey Pasta

Sunday, November 25th, 2012

This very odd sounding pasta was surprisingly good. My husband thought it was outstanding. :-D I'm not sure where the inspiration for this came from; it was just Shaun and me punting in the kitchen and ending up with something interesting and good. The sweet and ...
