I had a version of these meatballs at a golf club recently, and they were pretty dang yummy. Now this is my take on it. They didn’t have the sun-dried tomatoes, but rather golden raisins. I thought my family would […]
This is a recipe that you can throw together the night before and stick it in the crockpot warmer before you go off to work. Summer sports are in full swing here, so that means we are running about 7 […]
Warning: This makes a lot, so you need a big slow cooker. I also estimated, as I was just throwing things in the crockpot. This is a VERY hearty soup, and you don’t *need* everything that I put in there. […]
On Pinterest (the Mecca of crafty inspiration) I saw a picture about burning designs into leather with a wood burning tool. Hey…I had leather…AND a wood burning tool. Of course I had to give it a go. I have a […]
Oh the kids had fun with this! Our friend has a big fishing boat that can go out on the open water on Lake Michigan. It has a large motor, and it worked VERY well in the tubing department. He […]

Ah, summertime. Time for grilling! I made these on Friday night, along with a marinated pork tenderloin and skewered Vidalia onions. We served it with a lovely Carlisle Syrah, and then spent the rest of the evening enjoying the night […]
We had a golden birthday over here this month, so *luckily* it was also the year of the friend party. I would have probably caved on the sleepover if it wasn’t the year she could have her friends over (we […]
