  • Beanless Chocolate Chili

    Beanless Chocolate Chili

    For years, I wouldn’t eat chili. Just not my thing. I suppose it’s because it was normally brothy, had chunky veggies, meat AND beans. Ugh. Beans. Back in my younger days, that would make me really turn my nose up, put the hand out and say NO THANK YOU. Then I made it my way.…

  • Handmade All Beef Meatballs

    Handmade All Beef Meatballs

    Hi!! Let’s do an Italian day, shall we? I’ve had this on my list of things to make, oh, I’d say a few months … just never got around to it, you know? Until one Saturday … a cold and windy Saturday here in NW Indiana. Actually, almost a perfect Fall day, but, eh, not…

  • Quick, Easy, and Somewhat Healthy Dinner

    Not too long ago, there were quite a few road trips in the 4 week span of that month. I had just gotten back from a week trip and Sissy was coming home that night as well. We were both gone for over a week. We both did road trips which are a different kind…

  • Quick and Easy Sunday Dinner

    We did a little float trip back in August with about 35 other strangers. I mean, yes, we signed up and committed to getting on a bus at 8:30am on a Saturday morning and spending 8 plus hours with these complete strangers. It was fun. Like lots of fun. And we met some fun, interesting…

  • Grilled Cheesy Burger Sliders

    Grilled Cheesy Burger Sliders

    So technically, they aren’t grilled, as in a grill but rather, like a grilled cheese sandwich! Say what? Yeah, cheesy little things! These are super easy to make and I’m pretty sure they will need to be on our ground beef list for the summer ahead. I mean, I think we are down to 15…

  • What We Ate #3

    Here is our week in review (#3) I have goals. I really, really do. Thursday – leftover wings from Buffalo Wild Wings … they were ‘ok’ reheated in the oven but certainly better than saying HEY let’s go get something to eat somewhere, anywhere but home! Friday – pizza and pretzel bites (freezer). We just…

  • Indulgent Coffee Brownies

    This recipe closely follows Ina Garten’s Outrageous Brownies with a few tweaks. The brownies are best chilled in the fridge overnight before indulging, as they are rich and indulgent. The recipe yields a large batch, so freezing some for future enjoyment is recommended. The process is not quick, but the homemade, flavorful result is worth…

  • What We Ate #2!

    The past week was filled with dining out and enjoying various meals. From a pricey steakhouse dinner to street tacos and margaritas, the week included a mix of restaurant visits and home-cooked meals. Some impromptu activities like a bowling session and taking advantage of food deals made for a lively week.
