  • Perfect Baked Potatoes

    I always get in a bind when I buy a bag of taters … you know, overly ambitious and all that. And then… LIFE So here we are again, a 10 pound bag of russets from Costco. Just let me salvage a few! Please! I took out two … and gazed at the 30 others…

  • 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.

  • Air Fryer Potato Wedges

    Air Fryer Potato Wedges

    The post details making crispy air fryer fingerling potatoes. After soaking and drying the potatoes, they are seasoned and air fried at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. The writer also mentions their Amazon Affiliate membership. Overall, it’s a simple process for making a tasty dish and a nod to their affiliate program.

  • What We Ate!

    How about a little accountability around here? We went to Nashville for 5 days and 4 nights recently with some younger kids to celebrate a birthday. Nashville is NOT a cheap place to visit, so to speak. I will say, it’s worth it to me but with another theme park party weekend coming up late…

  • Naked Crispy Chicken Wings

    Naked Crispy Chicken Wings

    Yup, sauceless, nothing but seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder) and baked to deliciousness! Yup, baked. Not fried. At all. You probably saw the Crispy Lemon Chicken Wings I posted recently. These are pretty much the same thing EXCEPT no lemon or garlic is involved. We both had a little stomach bug for a…
