wine marinated pot roast recipe

Is it cold where you are?  This week has proven to me that I am out of practice when it comes to cold weather.  I had to buy my first real pair of shoes in 4 years a few days ago.  I have lived in flip flops and ballet slippers for so long that I forgot that shoes were a necessity.  And jackets.  And layers.  This California (by way of NJ, SC, NC, NS, etc.) girl is not used to 37 degree weather any more.  I am in for a rude awakening, or so I have been told by Kansas natives.  I like … [Read more...]

potato bake

I am not really sure what to call this "recipe".  It is not really a recipe, but more like an answer on what to make for dinner when you have no food, no time, and no energy.  I always keep baby Yukon Gold potatoes, onions, peppers, and cheese in my refrigerator.  When I am in a pinch, this graces my dinner table.  But the thing is, you don't need to be in a pinch to love this dinner.  While this is certainly not an original idea, (I "borrowed" this from one of my favorite breakfast items … [Read more...]
