Please, don't ask me why we bought this. I think we must've been on a high from buying too many Lean Cuisines and indulging on cheese made from 2% milk. After a bender like that, trying out a Fat Free butter-like substance seems like something worth a shot. Lemme tell you folks, it's not.
We tried […]

Outside in the dirt in the ground? With the wind and the sky and everything? We garden!
Isn't it beautiful? That's what 50 newly planted strawberry plants look like. You're all invited for strawberry shortcake this summer.
The kit included this little netting thingie that's supposed to be for keeping the birds away from our strawberries. But […]

Yesterday marked the true first sign of spring. No, I'm not talking about sunny skies and chirping birds. I'm talking about busting out the grill and doing some manly cooking over open flame. Yes, I broke out the BBQ for dinner last night to take advantage of the great weather outside. While the results weren't […]

Holy moly. In two weekends, we've sampled two local places that floored us with the quality of the food we consumed. Granted, neither of them is exactly budget-friendly, but it's so worth it. So without more introductions, I'll move on to the reviews.

This week is a week of new adventures in food. Our goal? Try tasty new dishes that don't pack on the pounds. It's been a while since we've had fish, so I naturally gravitated towards a tilapia recipe. For those that don't know, tilapia is a mild whitefish that even Shauna enjoys. (The first time […]

Mmmm… comfort food without all the calories? Too good to be true? Not so, we found out tonight. This will definitely be a re-do. So delicious! Jesse actually concocted this beautiful dish out of two recipes that just didn't seem to have everything we wanted. So I think he can claim this one as a […]

Every Friday, work buys breakfast for us. Today's order was from Mimi's Cafe and this didn't exactly thrill me. It's not that I don't like Mimi's food, but our new-found affinity for not over-eating excludes just about every dish they make. I ended up settling on their "Fitness Omelet" with a bran muffin.
I now know […]

Shauna and I have decided to get on board the diet train to drop some pounds. The big problem is that, being gourmands, we aren't willing to sacrifice good food to do it. Having been impressed with the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook we've relied on so heavily, Shauna grabbed the dieter's version and starting […]

The big thrill of visiting somewhere else is indulging in the local cuisine. The hard part is finding out what's out there, especially in a smaller town. Yes, the hotel staff are a valuable resource (as are clients if you're on business), but why keep all of that good information to myself? Now that my […]

There are a lot of food combinations that are totally non-obvious. Tortellini and eggs, chili and spaghetti, cream cheese and cucumbers. Even peanut butter and jelly can be non-obvious. Well, it can be when you use habanero jelly.
That's right. I made a peanut butter and habanero jelly sandwich today. Why would I do such a […]
