by Tara Do you guys like horseradish? I always forget how much I do until I cook with it again. It's awesome. I'm going to try to use it more often. The other night I made steak, potatoes, and kale, and the potatoes I made were especially delicious. Horseradish Mashed... Continue reading

by Tara Here's something I'd like to recommend: go to Target right now and buy some Christmas Blend coffee by Archer Farms. I love coffee (no secret there), and this is one of the best blends I've ever tried. It's so good! It's spicy but not too dark, and really... Continue reading

by Tara Now that the holidays are over we can focus on plain, old, winter cooking. I love winter squashes, and butternut squash, in particular, is one of my favorites. I set out to make a vegetarian meal one night using spinach, carmelized onions, and butternut squash and pasta, and... Continue reading

by Tara I have not been eating well this holiday season. And you know what? The seasonal chocolate on the shelves isn't really helping. My latest obsession? Dark chocolate and sea salt caramels. My holiday season goal is to try every kind I can find. Wish me luck! A lovely... Continue reading

by Tara Again with the soup, Tara? Yes. It is soup season! (Perhaps a lot of us need to send a memo to our local weather, because I hear my area isn’t the only one with 70-degree December temps?) Ingredients: -1 tbsp olive oil -2 garlic cloves, minced -1 can... Continue reading

by Tara I received a similar recipe in an email from a friend, and because I can't just follow instructions I messed with it, added a bunch of stuff, and it was still delicious. Here's what I did: Italian Chicken Soup Ingredients: -1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, chopped -salt... Continue reading

by Tara I've been seeing the cinnamon rolls in the waffle iron thing on Pinterest for awhile, and since I love cinnamon rolls and I adore my waffle maker, I thought I should try them. I was kind of disappinted. I thought they'd be bigger! They were teeny when they... Continue reading

by Tara Have you ever had the World's Best Ham? You're missing out. I had some the other day.* At The Blathering I went on a "ham date" with some lovely ladies to Mother's Restaurant, a delightfully hole-in-the-wall restaurant on Restaurant Row in New Orleans, LA. I ordered the Famous... Continue reading

by Tara I went to Nashville last weekend to meet up with three friends/former coworkers, and I highly recommend going to Nashville, if just for the food. The problem with good food, though, is that sometimes it looks so good you forget to take a picture. So there are a... Continue reading

by Tara This recipe was passed to me by a former coworker, and it is seriously the most delicious cake I’ve ever had. And I don’t even like pistachios. It’s so easy but tastes difficult. Good for warm or cool weather, but I like it warm in the winter. Pistachio... Continue reading

by Tara One of the things I miss very most about living in Japan is the food. You could get any type of food you wanted, any time of day or night (except Mexican. Good Mexican was hard to find there). A great reason to visit Japan, however, is the... Continue reading

by Tara I adore wine, as has been documented, but sometimes I'm just in the mood for a beer. The problem is that my husband's favorite beers are all REALLY dark and often I just want something sweet. I'm not a huge fan of apples, though, so I really have... Continue reading

by Tara Last week my family flew to the Chicago suburbs to see family. My primary goals in Chicago (besides seeing family and having a good time): meet up with online friends, see the Bean, and eat famous pizza. I accomplished all three! The famous pizza our family members swear... Continue reading

by Tara It's fall! WOOHOO! It's finally felt like fall around my area, dipping into the low 80s this week in Oklahoma, with lots of rain over the last few days. Makes me want to snuggle up with my Kindle and a mug of mulled wine. It also makes me... Continue reading

by Tara I am a meal-planning person. If I don't plan my family's meals, then plan my grocery list according to the ingredients we need, then add the random things we need above that (dog food, deodorant, goldfish crackers, almond milk), we wind up throwing out a LOT of food,... Continue reading

by Tara In my unending endeavor to lose weight, I recently joined Weight Watchers. Since I joined I've been on a quest for low-points recipes so I can save my points for wine. I've found some amazing and delicious recipes I'd like to share with you here. Photo by me... Continue reading

by Tara I adore pasta. But how many of us can eat as much pasta as we'd like? (Well, maybe you. But not me!) Enter zucchini noodles! I've seen several recipes for these, and I've tried two. There's one in Well Fed by Melissa Joulwan that's delicious, but involves sweating... Continue reading

by Tara I know this blog is largely about people, but I've been seeing some recipes lately for homemade dog food, and I'm intrigued! I have two medium-large dogs, and we go through a lot of dog food! Gratuitous picture of my sweet dogs. This is the recipe I've seen... Continue reading

by Tara (Let's go ahead and get the 12-year old giggling out of the way because of the overuse of the word "pounding" in this post.) I've been making several recipes lately that require pounding chicken into thinner chicken. It's not usually something I think about a lot, but since... Continue reading

by Tara Do you like figs? I haven't really eaten a lot of figs since elementary school. (That's as weird as it sounds. I went to a private, religious school for awhile and we were served figs as snacks a lot because, obviously, figs were Jesus's favorite fruit because there... Continue reading

by Tara While some of you northerners are basking in delightful 70-80 degree weather, those of us in the middle and southern states are still sweating every day. Here in Oklahoma we're still expecting triple-digit temperatures in the next few weeks. I've been beating the heat by drinking approximately 100... Continue reading

by Tara I'm far from a chef, but over the years as I've gotten better at cooking I've upgaded my cookware and utensils. After spending almost seven years as a military wife, where a lot of spouses have at-home businesses, I got pretty familiar with the Pampered Chef brand. I've... Continue reading
