Last weekend we finally got a chance to cash in my gift certificate to a local cooking school. We went to a demonstration class there a few years ago and have been wanting to get back for a hands-on class. The class we signed up for was called Hot ‘N Spicy. The menu looked great…

I Can’t Tell a Lie
I love dessert but am not a huge fan of baking, too precise for me. Finding an easy recipe to bake up is always a pleasure. Today we all had off for President’s Day and needed some activities to fill the day besides TV. The kids and I made these cherry brownies, as it so…
Cupcakes for Dinner!
We celebrated valentines day on Sunday. I let the kids choose what they wanted for dinner to celebrate valentines day. They have cupcakes on the brain these days. Our sitter has been bringing them delicious cupcakes each Saturday. How awesome? Anyway, it is no surprise that they wanted cupcakes for their valentine dinner. The ten…
Lazy Day
This past Sunday was probably one of my laziest days on record. Seriously. I watched more crappy TV than one person should in a day. That did not even the Super Bowl, we skipped it this year. I watched the Chris Rock movie Good Hair, must say I learned a lot. Who knew there was…
Snow Day Party
Things are back to normal after our snow days. The kids went back to school, the adults commuted to work (well everyone but me), all in time for the weekend to begin again. Snow days as an adult are not what they used to be, not when you are always connected to work. While I…
Bacon Fat Popcorn
We got a little bit of snow here in Chicago and with it came a few days of pause to the regular routine. Tuesday was already a planned day off to take the ten year-old to get braces. Well, the top braces anyway. She was pretty excited to get them on, and they have not…
Football Fare {Buffalo Wing Dip}
Big game in Chicago Sunday, Bears and the Packers. An exciting game for the football world! Gotta give it to the fans that are going to go out and brave the frigid temps to watch the game. I am glad I will be watching it in the warmth of a friend’s house. I’ve been to…
Sexiest Meatloaf Alive!
Not so much alive, but still ya gotta admit it is fine looking. The husband was traveling all week and requested meatloaf for dinner. Poor thing has been eating out all week. 😉 I was happy to oblige, anything to keep the oven going. Our kitchen is a bit chilly in the back, open the…
Brrrrrreakfast
Chicago woke up to a deep freeze this morning, wind chills of 20 below zero and actual temperatures in the single digits. Check out this picture of the lake, brrr just makes me cold looking at it. Definitely a day to work at home and skip the chilly commute. One of the advantages of working…
Greek Salad
The husband loves Greek food. At a party this past Summer my friend brought a Greek salad that he went gaga over. I think he wanted to kiss her. I finally got a chance to give it her recipe a try the other night when my sister-in-law and her family spent the night with us…
