i’ve been watching a LOT of kitchen nightmares. gordon ramsay is harsh, but seems to know how to motivate people. he’s kind with some, in-your-face with others, yet encouraging throughout the show. anyway….all that being said, watching the show has sparked some inspiration for new recipes! i picked up some lamb chops at my favorite…costco.

Eggs Goldenrod : the breakfast of choice for Captain America

Eight years ago when I first met my husband – a close male friend of mine dubbed him *Captain America*. Only after we got married did this friend begin calling my husband by his real name! It was partly a cheesy nickname – but really just poking fun at my husband’s six-pack abs, all-around good […]

A couple of weeks ago, my friend, Alexa, posted about a hilarious and almost ridiculous recipe called *Piecaken*. Piecaken, is the brain child of missionary and blogger, Jamie http://www.theveryworstmissionary.com.

I’m no pro chef, but I try to give the kids something other than […]
