One of the sad things about the past few months is that we tried a bunch of new recipes, and I honestly don’t remember most of them. At all. The good thing about that is that a few recipes were so nice they made it through the fog of sleepless nights into my long-term memory. …

Steak-n-Beans-n-Rice-n-Tomatillo Salsa
Oh, you say it’s been a while since I’ve written? Well, work has been busy. Really busy. And life has been relatively full, too. And we’re going to have a baby in November. Yay! Now I’m thinking about food for two, or something like that. I probably already liked food enough for two people, so…
Beef with Veggies–Plenty o’ Options

Miscellaneous Thursday

That is a lot of manure! That is an entire truck bed of manure, to be exact. And in the background,…
Birthday Week Spaghetti
Spaghetti doesn’t sound fancy, right? Well try this recipe: Giada’s Spaghetti with Beef, Smoked Almonds, and Basil. This made the birthday week menu mostly by virtue of its beef content, but I think I ended up loving it more than the birthday man. The sauce is technically more like an Italian salsa (read: no cooking!),…
Small, but valuable.
