Chicken Pot Pie is one of Hanna’s favorite dinners. She asks for it to be on the menu all the time. It feels more like a “winter” dish to me, but she squeaked it on the menu last week as one of the things she was going to cook. It’s always such a hit with … Continue reading
It all started with a recipe for egg roll stir fry. It is delicious, and I make it regularly to have for lunch for the week, but the problem is… my family doesn’t eat cabbage. I’m not a short order cook, and I also happen to be the only one in this house eating low carb. … Continue reading

I am a HUGE fan of balsamic vinegar, and I was thrilled to sample some of their flavored vinegars. They had fruit flavored, and my favorite… espresso balsamic. As soon as I … Continue reading
