I can’t believe February is almost over. I’m glad of it since I can’t wait for spring to come. Although March seems to always be the snowiest month here in Minnesota. Since we haven’t had much snow yet this winter, March might be a doozy! In fact, we have […]

  I’m still working on organizing all of my recipes clipped from magazines and newspapers. The trouble is that I keep adding to it faster than I can organize it! It doesn’t help that I get even more cooking magazines now. This recipe for Creamy Ranch Chicken has been in […]

 I recently discovered what is called a “Photobomb.” I’m thinking this is one of those things that everyone else knew about and I’m just finally catching on to (it’s a feeling I’ve had my whole life, seriously). Anyways, it’s where a photo is being taken and something or someone ruins […]

  I’ve been on a cleaning and organizing kick lately. Last week I went around and cleaned out three of our closets. I have 3 bags to donate and 2 bags of garbage. My mantra is “if it’s not beautiful or useful, get rid of it.” The best way to organize […]

  Recipes just don’t come from nowhere. They have to start somewhere. Usually with an another recipe, sometimes two recipes. I started with this recipe for Makeover Rosemary Muffins from Taste of Home. A savory muffin with goat cheese sounded wonderful, especially with soup or stew. But my husband doesn’t like olives. […]

  I’m always looking for new chicken recipes and I came across this recipe on Food.com. It’s actually a Kraft recipe called Creamy Chicken and Cranberry-Pecan Wild Rice. It looked easy enough for a weeknight dinner and had some of my favorite ingredients: cream cheese, pecans and cranberries. It turned out really […]
