Remember when I shared my idea for jazzed-up brownies in a box? Well, we’ve had a box of Trader Joe’s Blondie mix in our pantry closet for a few months now and it was calling my name over the weekend when it was rainy and sorta cold. Why does bad weather always make me wantContinue reading “Jazzed-Up Blondies from a Box”

Pork Carnitas Tacos
We made these pork tacos last weekend and I am finally sharing the recipe with you which we found in the Food Network magazine. We like tacos in this house (who doesn’t, really?). But lately we’ve been making more traditional tacos because my husband loves meats cooked low and slow and/or braised and I amContinue reading “Pork Carnitas Tacos”

Asparagus Couscous
As always, we are looking for seasonable side dishes to serve for dinner. Since our CSA doesn’t start for a couple more months, we thought for spring we’d eat a lot of asparagus and peas.

Croissant-Making Class Date Night!
Last week, my husband and I went on a little mid-week date. Instead of our usual date of trying a new restaurant or catching a movie…we went to a class at our local Community Education program on how to make croissants! Who doesn’t love a croissant – flaky, buttery…delicious. We especially fell hard for thisContinue reading “Croissant-Making Class Date Night!”
