Have Mercy…

So I’ve been feeling bad lately about my lack of cooking. When MDP and I first started dating I used to cook all the time. Then he made the mistake of showing me he can cook too. :) First it started with breakfast on Sundays…now he is pretty much in charge of weekend breakfast. And more and more he has taken over dinner duty as well. Not because I don’t want to but because my hand acts up and cooking/baking can sometimes flare it up worse. But guilt sunk in along with the fact that for once I had a Friday night and Saturday free. So I told myself I wanted to make him something that took a little time and showed I cared so I went for a Flemish Beef and Beer Stew (I was rebelling against all the Irish Stew made this week). I’ll post the recipe in another post because it was fantastic. Yes it took 5 hours but that was mostly just cook time. And then I decided that since my hand was feeling good and he is always in charge of breakfast that I would go all out for that as well. I … [Read more...]

So one of the highlights of our Philly trip was me experiencing the Peach-Butter Pecan Pie Milkshake that Franklin’s Fountain made. I knew I had to try and recreate it. And yes they really do serve it with a whole piece of pie on top…not to mention the pie in the actually milkshake as well. Pure genius. Evil genius, but genius nonetheless! It’s not exactly peak peach season right now and I never like to make things exactly how I had them anyway…. so I switched the peach out for apple because I love me some apple pie. And instead of butter pecan I added caramel to it because caramel makes everything better…well it doesn’t make clean up better. Now I made the ice cream and I made the pie for this. As I mentioned on FB I have been wanting to bake/cook big time just haven’t had the time. This weekend is my first time where I didn’t have anything! Don’t you just love those weekends? I don’t get them often so I am relishing that big time. While it might seem like … [Read more...]

Every Thing is Better with Bacon….

Seriously these make no sense and are in no order except for the first one the first one rules our life currently. *This week is brought to you by the phrase: You can’t bleed a turnip. *Reminder: I am not home all day sitting on the computer waiting for you to email me with a question. So demanding immediate response because you are in the middle of making it probably isn’t going to happen. Also, my blog will be 8 years old this year (wow) and my memory is not as good as it used to be so try not to get mad at me when you ask about a recipe from 2007 that I don’t remember if it made 24 or 28 cupcakes. *Speaking of that I rarely put serving sizes on this blog. You know why…because that means something different for everyone. Only on cupcakes…and even then if you tend to over fill you won’t get the right amount. Almost everything I make tends to be one serving…sometimes two. ;) *Lesson learned: The worst time to realize that you haven’t eaten all day is when … [Read more...]

Running on empty…

It’s a known fact I don’t run and am not a fan of it as a general rule. I own a bumper sticker that reads “0.0 I don’t run”. I’ve done the 5k and 10k thing and even a triathlon back when I was 31 because a friend thought it would be a fun thing to do (she was wrong). My point is I can run…I choose not to. I bring this up because you may recall my special friend who went to lunch with me last year and started with “remember when you used to be in shape”. For the record she has gained some of that weight back. Just saying. :P Anyway weight comes and goes and I don’t care about people’s shapes or sizes. Aside from her being the food police when you go out to eat with her (she sells diet supplements and always wants you to buy them from her) she LOVES to tell me how in shape she is because she runs. She does a 5k at least once a month if not more. She wasn’t really believing me when I said I can run I choose not to. She took it upon herself to “challenge” … [Read more...]
