A beautiful photo of patriotic candies by dklimkle on Flickr … Thank you to all these soldiers & their families. The longer I do Military Monday, the less I feel I need to say on each post. But I know not everyone who comes here knows what Military Monday is… but I’ve been doing Military […]

The grilled pizza experience.
Everyone loves grilling in the summer. And even though it’s the end of August, as far as I’m concerned there’s a lot of life left in summer & the grill. Along with the love of grilling, I have a love for pizza. It’s obvious to anyone who reads this blog even fairly regularly that I […]

This post is brought to you by the 1930’s & Sutton Gourmet Paper.
I know you’ve been missing the cupcakes, so here they are. The lovely Kellie at Sutton Gourmet Paper sent me an assortment of these beautiful liners, and coincidentally the next day I received a gift from my mother of a vintage 1930’s white enameled metal cake carrier, with hand-painted detail. I think I’ve mentioned before […]
Gorgeous stars & stripes fruit platter from karetchko‘s Flickr … For those of you uninitiated with the Military Monday phenomenon- please read this. It’s an explanation of the whole Military Monday thing written by my friend Yoyo (thanks to whom I’m involved in this in the first place). I’ve been getting some comments by people […]

Maverick-y pasta with potatoes, leeks & broccoli.
Why are they so maverick-y, you may ask? Well, long before Ms. Palin decided to christen herself & Mr. McCain “mavericks”, I was doing the rebellious thing; fashion-wise, personality-wise, life-wise, etc. No- I wasn’t shooting wolves out of helicopters, nor was I a hockey mom. But I was a rebel. And with this blog, I’ve […]

I scream, you scream, we all scream for…
PEANUT BUTTER FORKIN’ ICE CREAM!! Of course my new ice cream maker has sort of taken over my life. I knew this would happen- first of all, it being summer, what could be better than homemade ice cream? Second, it being summer, what could be better than a delicious treat that doesn’t require baking in […]
Patriotic all-American cupcakes courtesy of sungazing on Flickr … And here we are: another Monday, another Military Monday. More names to list. I wish it would end. Jonathan D. Grassbaugh, 25, Army Captain, Apr 07, 2007 East Hampstead, New Hampshire Levi K. Hoover, 23, Army Private 1st Class, Apr 07, 2007 Midland, Michigan Rodney L. […]
dill | garlic | gluten-free | herbs | pickles | pickling | recipe | savory | snacks | vegan | vegetables
Pickle juice.
I’m sort of, okay not really “sort of”… I’m definitely frustrated right now because I was informed recently that a woman on Facebook was using photos that belonged to me, that are my property, photos of my cupcakes, and passing them off as hers. I wasn’t the only one- she was using someone elses too, […]
aprons | breakfast | brown sugar | chocolate | muffins | recipe | streusel | YOYO!
The streusel bamboozle.
I’ve said it a gazillion times before but chocolate chip muffins are my favorite kind of muffin. Any kind of chocolate chip muffin is thumbs up in my book. So any time I see a new recipe or hear about one, or think of one, I have to make it. If you look in my […]
Gorgeous patriotic veggies photo from ecosalon.com … The 60th Military Monday. I really do hope someday I don’t have any more names to list, I can dedicate my Military Mondays to veterans and these wars are over. Darrell R. Griffin Jr., 36, Army Staff Sergeant, Mar 21, 2007 Alhambra, California Adrian J. Lewis, 30, Army […]
