Soups and stews warm me up, literally, so I avoid them during the summer. It’s actually kind of weird how toasty they make me feel inside. Most meals I eat during the summer are warm but don’t seem to raise my core temperature. I don’t know if this actually happens or not. Either way, it just gives me another reason to appreciate Fall. Of course, the moment I actually make my favorite chili, the temps skyrocket back up to 90+ degrees. Ugh.
Hard Cider BBQ Pulled Pork
I'm so happy to once again have a recipe on the blog. It's been too long. As some of you may recall, someone, who shall remain nameless, may have dropped my camera and broke it. This person was quite distraught over her innocent mistake and was so hopeful that her Dad, I mean some guy, could fix it ... [Read more]

Pumpkin Chickpea Curry

And just to show what a geek I am, I determined it was Wednesday by recalling what I watched the previous night on TV. :) It was Limitless by the way. I never saw the ... [Read more]
Beer Braised Sausage and Kraut
The first time I ever tasted sauerkraut was at my BFF's home when I was about 7 or 8 years old. Like most little kids, I was naturally suspicious of something that was new to me. And boy, I did not like it. At all. It was so sour! Even though I've always preferred savory to sweet, this was not ... [Read more]
Spicy Roast Beef
It has been really hot here the past few weeks. And I DON'T LIKE IT. It makes me cranky and sweaty and crave ice cream way too much! Normally, when it is baking outside, I definitely don't feel like doing any baking inside. I do tend to crave lighter foods, which is the one and only good thing about ... [Read more]
