Crunchy Refrigerator Pickles
We planted our first garden ever this year! Living in a place with a large yard is great (especially since I’ve lived my entire previous life in apartments). The only “garden” I ever had was tomatoes and herbs in a pot next to my front door. One time I was growing cherry tomatoes and saw …

A Well Balanced Dinner
So my boyfriend and I are working on getting buff before the summer comes this year. Now when I say buff, I mean get in shape, loose a few pounds and tone up a bit. We actually made this goal at the beginning of the year, and I admit I have fallen in and out of my …
Fire Roasted Corn
Ever thought of what might happen if you placed your corn cobs right on the coals, rather than the grill? Maybe not, but that thought has crossed my mind, so I decided to try it. And let me tell you- EPIC SUCCESS! The following pictures were taken on my camera phone a couple of weekends …
