Taking life one cup at a time…
Okay, so it’s been a little while since I’ve posted a recipe on here; it’s about time I did! I actually have two chili recipes. One, my seven pepper chili recipe, I’ll have to share later. It’s super spicy, and since I’m breastfeeding, and little man is not as much a fan of the spice as …
I have a lot of cookbooks, and by a lot, I mean, it will probably take a good while to cook through them all, like a couple of years. With a cookbook collection that is so expansive, it’s hard to make sure that they all get used! I want to introduce a new weekly feature …

We have a cat, Stripes, whose nickname is “Fat Boy.” This lasagna is named for him, because, if like Garfield he ate lasagna, well, he’d be even fatter than he is. Stripes was Tiger Boy’s 11th birthday present along with Lady. Tiger Boy just turned 16 a couple weeks ago, and it was time to make …
The third wine sent to me from Wine Chateau for sampling was The Great American Wine Company 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon by Rosenblum Cellars. For this wine, I created a menu consisting of soup, salad, main course, cheese course, and dessert. It was a lot of fun to consider what menu items I would pair with …
