Drool… These scones are SO good. I’ve had this recipe on my mind for a while now and I was dying to make it. It was just too hot to use the oven all summer. The moment the outside temperature dropped by just a slight bit, I instantly turned on the oven to make these …

Homemade Wheat Tortillas
I remember growing up living next door to my best friend whos mom would cook a huge batch of tortillas once a year. They were seriously the best things in the entire world. I would scarf them down with out a care if I was being a pig or eating all of my friends food- …
Sun Dried Tomato Pasta Salad
Is it just me or does the heat make you laaaazzyyy? We are trying to save on the electric bill so we don’t use the AC in our apartment that often. What ends up happening is we just lay around all day because it’s too hot to do anything at all! What a waste of …
Yellow Squash Fritatta With Fresh Peas
I told you it was squashy recipe week! I’ve still got a few summer squashes left in my fridge so I have to think of creative ways to use them. (My mom has a garden full of these so I got to take a bunch home!) I can’t wait to have a garden of my …

Stuffed Peppers
Mushrooms, garlic, onions, cheese – oh my! These stuffed peppers are sure tasty! I made these babies the other night and invited some friends over for dinner to help me eat them. It was a glorious night of stuffed peppers, wine, and Hot-Tub Time Machine (which was a very ridiculous, yet entertaining movie). This recipe takes a little more time than …
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 …
Irish Soda Bread with Flax
Baking is not one of my specialties, only because you have to be so exact on ingredients. I am more of a “little of this, little of that” kind of cook, so baking doesn’t always work out for me. I adapted this recipe from Dyln’s wonderful blog. I didn’t have all of the ingredients and I …
