It has been a while since we posted. Becky took on a new job and got very busy. However not all is lost, we will both be posting for the next little while. I am also building my cooking blog, kind of a Dad focused cooking blog, with all that in mind my cooking focus…
One of my favorite dishes is fajitas, but I didn’t have any tortillas the other night when I went to make it. I didn’t want rice, so I tried out quinoa, and this turned out phenomenal. You will not be disappointed. I love quinoa because it makes a great rice substitute without all the simple…
I cannot take credit for this recipe. My husband found it on thekingofrandom.com, an awesome website full of fun science projects and household hacks. I will not be modifying the steps much, as the King of Random’s version is tried and true. He’s rather scientific about these things, dontcha know. Pour your gelatin and jell-o…

It’s easy to make, and it leaves people wondering, “What did you do to make this chili taste so good?” Well, aside from the obvious (the root beer), this recipe has got two kinds of meat, apples, peppers, onions, and lots ‘o love. The flavor has a little…
And by meaty, I mean amazing. This luscious, full-bodied dish has all of my favorite things combined into one bite: Italian sausage, pasta, sauteed mushrooms and onions, and rich marinara sauce. My husband loves when I cook this for him and insisted I post it on the blog. So here it is! Sautee…
I have not been able to find an ice cream substitute that I like. I mean, they’re all OK, but nothing to write home about. And then my mom brought some dairy-free chocolate ice cream to a birthday party once, I had a bite, and I HAD to get her recipe. It’s SUUUUPER easy, creamy,…
Truth be told, it’s been raining all week. But cherries were in season, and on sale, so I thought up a fun Summer salad to get me in the spirit. And I happen to know a really cool way to pit your cherries without all the mess. A small amount of juices may come out, so I…
