This is a twist off of my mom”s Broccoli Salad recipe. Hers is packed full of yummy goodness like grapes, sesame seeds, grated carrots and crumbled bacon. Although it is one of my favorite salads to eat, I”m much to lazy to make it for a weeknight dinner. This is my simplified version with a(…)
My family is big on the “Hawaiian” flavour. Pizza being our favorite variety. We love that combination of ham, pineapple and cheese, but it”s a hard one to sneak into every day meals because it doesn”t go with everything. One of our favorite summer sandwiches is a chicken breast topped with pineapple, cheese, bacon and(…)
I apologize for my absence the last while. Some unexpected events have occurred and I haven”t been able to keep up my posting schedule. Peach Monday, which was missed this week (sorry!), will be posted on this coming Monday. My posting may be a little erratic over the next couple of weeks and I hope(…)
Our family is in the midst of kitchen renovations. We started tearing out the kitchen cupboards last weekend and are currently in the process of laying the flooring so we can get all the cupboards and appliances in over this coming weekend. Right now, I”m doing food prep on the dining room table, dishes in(…)
I have the best mom in the world. Don’t fight with me on this. Your mom can be just as awesome as my mom, but she can’t possibly be better. My goal has never been to be a better mom then my mom, but to be just as good. To be as loving, caring and(…)
We are coming off of two weeks of non-stop rain and my son and I have been practically living outside, now that the sun is shining. We’ve been having picnics, going to the park, walking to the creek, playing in the sandbox. You name it. We’ve done it. I’m surprised at how hardcore Max is(…)
I made this salad for my company over the weekend. I had plans to make a couple different salads but we all liked this one so much that we couldn’t seem to stay away from it. Sorry Mr. Caesar, you have been trumped. This is my favourite homemade vinaigrette so far. Most are too oily(…)
Company arrived yesterday for a four day stay. It always feel nice to have visitors from home because it helps bring our two worlds together. We haven”t made many plans yet and are keeping things pretty relaxed. Growing up we always had a house full of visitors, especially around special occasions. So, for me to(…)
I think I’m in love. Or maybe I’m just confused because my hubby is off in Russia this week and I’m just trying to fill the void. Whatever the case, these Maple Walnut Apple Chips are addictive. Just look at that name and tell me that your mouth doesn’t start to water. I had pretty(…)
I have joined the 10in10 challenge, “10 weeks to healthy in 2010″. I may be two weeks late in posting about it, but I do have a good reason. I’m sure you’re not interested in the minuscule details of my goals so I’ll keep this brief. I haven’t been able to settle in one spot for very(…)
Many times I have morned the loss of some sort of food item that I thought I would never find here in Norway. Most of them I have let go of, knowing that I need to embrace these cultural differences and use them to make me a better cook. But, every once in while I(…)
It is becoming nearly impossible to get a good photo these days. The weather is so dreary and rainy that I have to turn on the lights as soon as I get up in the morning and they do not go off until I go to bed. Our house isn’t very well lit either so(…)
