Scott is home. Yay!!! To celebrate, I thought it was time we thawed out some steak and made a tasty salad. Not a steak salad, because we found ourselves in possession of some steak that was too good for salad usage. Oooh, aaah. A rare and welcomed occasion in our household. So if I’m welcoming…

Cooking for One (and Peanut Being Cute)
Back in the single gal days, I didn’t cook a whole lot. But then I met Scott, and I realized that the man I liked loves to eat good food, so I learned how to cook for him. Good thing I got motivated, because now that I know how to cook, dinner is a whole…

Pie Time (Options!)
For several Thanksgivings, I made The Pioneer Woman’s Pecan Pie. It was good, and everyone throughout the land rejoiced. Or so I thought (the rejoicing).
