Summertime is coming to a close (tear), but there's still some sunshine to soak up this holiday weekend before the fall chill sets in. So what better way to cool off while barbecuing and boating than with some refreshing and tasty iced coffee. I have to write a...

Penne with Spicy Sausage Tomato Sauce

I know it kind of faded off into a string of empty Sundays, but I have my reasons. Reason Number One: Recipe Sundays took over my life. Ok, so that's the only reason. But it's a darn good one. The death of Recipe Sunday went something like this: instead of making a...

Recipe Sunday | Lemon Ginger Chicken

It was about 3:00pm on a Friday when I had my brilliant flash of genius. I'm thumbing through my magazines making a list of ingredients for my next Recipe Sunday posts when it occurs to me: What if I made TWO dishes as the same time? One could be the main dish and...
