Yes, we cut Gavin's hair! He is growing up. He has started kindergarten and the party is over. Does he miss his long, wavy mane? Well, judging by the photos, one might think so. In exhibit A: He looks looks like some mischievous kid who may have just cut class to sneak into a Backyardigans concert. In mugshot, er, exhibit B: He looks like a common five year old, mired by the humdrum, wearisome duties o [...]

This recipe is still a work in progress. I've made it a few times, and each time I have made notations of things to change about it. It started out too sweet for me, then I thought it needed more vinegar. It's always been good, I am just trying to make it perfect. :) I think it's pretty close now...

I've tried it both ways - and like it either way. The cooking time differed when I used the cast iron skillet, so you need to watch it. My kids prefer the & [...]

I will admit, I am a pimento cheese fanatic. I order it at restaurants any time it's on the menu. My favorite is Grumpy's Grilled Cheese Sandwich topped with tomato and bacon from Two Guys Grille. Yum! I've never ordered anything else there. I even like the packaged kind from my local grocery stores (the kind they make themselves). So, overall - I guess I'm not really that picky. But [...]

Menu Plan Monday :: September 14th - 20th 2009

Looks like I'll be putting my crock pot to work this week. I really didn't plan it, honest. Just worked out that way. While planning this week's menu, I was thinking about how I tend to be drawn to recipes that use condensed soup. I'm not sure why that is - because they are usually easy-sounding? Yummy-sounding? I know it isn't the healthiest ingredient, bu [...]
