So…. about a year ago the big joke in my office (ok, one of them) was that we should all stock up on Spam for the zombie apocalypse. Spam…. hmmm…. isn’t that from a Hawaiian pig? You guessed it. I’ve NEVER had Spam before. My next shopping trip I made […]
Recipes
Ratatouille
Here’s a fun festive little dish I use when cleaning out my fridge after Bountiful Baskets. It’s just two of us, so I don’t necessarily go through as much of the food as we should as quickly as we should. I love how pretty this is sitting on the table…. […]
FALL CASSEROLE
What to do on a chilly fall or winter day? Want that tasty, savory comfort food? Want something that melts in your mouth but you know has that hearty goodness fresh from your basket? We had this off and on growing up when we’d spend the night with friends. It […]
Pepperoni Roll
Some days you need to not think about what to cook and just have fun with what you have. I had tried something similar before but this time I did not have ham and cheese to make a ham and cheese roll so I tried a pizza roll instead. […]

Turkey and Wild Rice Soup
What to do with leftover chicken or turkey….I finally found one every one in my house will eat!
Pan Seared Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Feta
We kids feared many things in those days – werewolves, dentists, North Koreans, Sunday School – but they all paled in comparison with Brussels sprouts -Dave Barry Forget everything you know, or think you know about Brussels sprouts. One bite of these delectable little beauties will have you singing […]
A Visit to the Tropics…Via Cake!
The tropical pack is one of my favorites. I open it and the smell immediately transports me to far off beaches filled with refreshing flavors and cool breezes. I will admit though, it is also one of the most intimidating packs for me. Each item seems like it takes special […]
