Avocado Chimichurri Bruschetta

Is today easier? I guess a little. It’s hard not to dwell when life throws a stick in your spokes. The Hubs said to me just now, “are you ok?”, and I said, “yes, just trying t...

On love, in sadness

Dubliner Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

I have a new love. It’s Dubliner cheese. Have you heard of it? Me either until Camp Blogaway when the pushers (in the best possible way) from Kerry Gold got me hooked for life. I can’t re...

Salmon Shepherd’s Pie

I was reading Eating Well magazine the other day and came across a recipe for Salmon Perok, an Alaskan comfort food. The idea of it reminded me of one of The Hubs favorites, shepherd’s pie, so ...

Grilled Avocado Salad with Jumbo Prawns

I think grilling avocados has become my new favorite thing. I love the smoky flavor that a little char gives them. Ever since I made that grilled, stuffed avocado last week, I can’t get grilled...

Potato, Chorizo, and Green Chili Burritos

  Monday again. Did anyone catch that eclipse yesterday? It was pretty cool for a second, but I quickly went back to the couch. Is that terrible? After the week I had last week, I needed that co...

The Great List 05.18.2012

Tortellini with Asparagus, Peas and Mint

I’ve been trying to slow down my life a little bit lately. At least for a couple of days so I can come up for air. No matter how hard I try, things just keep rolling in and piling up. I’m...

Grilled Stuffed Avocado

Its seems like Camp Blogaway is the gift that keeps on giving. There was a lot of talk about whether or not you should accept free stuff from sponsors at the conference. For me, I see it as a source ...

Mini Mango Bundt Cakes

SRC: Yucatan Chicken and Shrimp Skewers

Charred BLT Salad

Back to extremely busy life as usual around here. The Hubs is out of town, and I’m bustling around doing my usual work-blog-dogs-fitness juggling act. I’m getting pretty used to this fren...

Camp Blogaway: the extended version

My friends made fun of me for going to a blogging conference where there was no Wi-Fi. Ha ha. I get it. Very ironic yes, but super fun nonetheless. I found the conference to be encouraging, interesti...

Camp Blogaway

The Great List 05.04.12

Holy crap is it really May already? This year is going by way too quickly. Once my friend Val and I talked about why time seems to fly the older you get. She said, “when you are 5, a year is on...

Pinata Sugar Cookies

Here’s another fun, Cinco de Mayo themed post for your Thursday reading pleasure. The Hubs emailed me this recipe and I thought it was too funny not to try. Honestly, I wish I could spend every...

Grilled Veggie Tacos

Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner, and while I’ll be celebrating with a bunch of other bloggers at a camp out by Big Bear, perhaps the rest of you are looking for something to make at ho...

Pea Fritters

Who says fresh, spring vegetable dishes worthy of Seasonal Potluck have to be healthy? You can deep fry anything and get even the worst vegetable haters to love it. (I do not recommend serving vegeta...

Roasted Vegetable Sandwiches

I’ve been on a bit of a detox since we got back from vacation. At least I’m trying. Let’s not talk about the copious amounts of alcohol, chips and dips that were consumed last weeke...
