This memorial day weekend truly made everyone forget the last six months of snow and cold. It went straight from bitter and unrelenting cold to ‘hello summer!’ What better to ring in the wonderful weekend, but a refreshing watermelon punch…with just a touch of rum. Watermelon Rum Punch Ingredients: 2 cups watermelon 4 Tbls coarsely…

Grilled Stuffed Brussel Sprouts
Hint here – this recipe is not going to be much different than the Stuffed Mushrooms recipe. Making this the same night gave me the same base stuffing for the ingredients, with very few adaptations. One thing I have realized lately is that I would post a recipe almost every week on a Brussel Sprout…
Grilled Asparagus
Are you ever looking for a super simple side dish while the burgers or chicken are grilling? Look no further with this four ingredients + tin foil + grill = easy and delicious! My trick with the tin foil is to double layer both top and bottom portions creating a half inch lip around all…
Grilled Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
I don’t know how many times I will say this throughout the life of this blog, but I LOVE GRILLING SEASON!!! It seems like every year I get really excited to grill and share – as evidenced by the Lamb Burgers, Vietnamese Shrimp Pops, Grilled Romaine Salad, Pineapple Salsa, Grilled Mozzarella Bread …and so many…
Maple Old Fashioned
Being originally from Wisconsin, there are a few things that come standard in the blood and one of them is the knowledge of the Old Fashioned. This is my shout out to Memorial Day Weekend, where I will be on my way to Sconnie, the place where I believe the Old Fashioned was born. …
Flour Tostada Tacos
You will all be getting this a little late, but this was our tribute to Cinco de Mayo at our house. I made a poor attempt at homemade refried beans. And by poor attempt, I really mean that they stunk. The flavor was there, but I didn’t get the right texture for this – so,…
Sauteed Brussel Sprouts
Growing up, my father had an amazing green thumb and we had what I believed to be the worlds largest home garden. I’m sure it is not the largest personal garden in the world, but it was certainly admirable. My dad grew the food, my mom canned and us kids just grabbed pea pods off…
Strawberry Triffle
I’m going to start out with saying that there are about a thousand different ways that you can make a trifle – and would bet that about 90% of them are delicious!!! This one absolutely falls in that 90%. No one component in this is hard to make or difficult to put together – so…
Asian Pork Meatballs
There are many things that go into this four bite treat of a meatball and all of them are delicious!!! For some reason lately, I’ve been craving the hot zig of Asian foods. This meatball totally hit the spot on that. I think one of the biggest reason that I enjoyed these is because of…
Mediterranean Spiced Eggs with Puff Pastry
Breakfasts on the weekend can be a great time to create something new and fun. I cannot take credit for this dish since the significant other had reign of the kitchen on this particular morning. What to have for breakfast? No particular dish was planned, but what he knew is that we had eggs,…
