    Summer… Sunsets… Wine… Sangria… That about sums up what happened in my brain when I saw this pin from Lisa’s blog Wine and Glue. I love wine, and I love Sangria. Sangria seems to be a wonderful opportunity for wine to go on a fun and fruity vacation from it’s serious side. Summer seems like…

    Some of the best things in life can come from the most random and unexpected places. For example, a couple of weeks ago some colleagues and I were talking about Pinterest while sitting around the lunch table. I had mentioned the Olive Garden Copycat Minestrone Soup recipe that you make in a crockpot. Two of…

    Do you like Pina Coladas? Gettin’ caught in the rain? I love the song Escape. I always smile when I hear it. It makes me think of a wonderful vacation on a secluded, white sand beach. Of course there would be a delicious beverage with some fruit and a little umbrella as I’m walking on…

    Bringing your lunch to work is a great way to save money and eat healthy. If the thought of taking your own lunch brings images of bologna sandwiches, bruised fruit, and pre-packaged “pastry” – think again! Bento lunches are all the rage. Sandwiches, wraps, and flatbreads have had healthy and delicious overhauls. Even packaging has…

    I love our neighborhood Chinese take out place for a quick dinner that doesn’t make me feel completely guilty for not cooking. One of our family favorites is Beef and Broccoli. It’s got broccoli, therefore it must be healthy. Sure, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. When I saw this pin by Damn…

    It’s National Grilled Cheese Day! My personal humble opinion is that a grilled cheese sandwich is comfort food at it’s finest – especially when accompanied with tomato soup. Grilled Cheese + Tomato Soup = Happy Anne! So when my handsome hubby showed me this article this morning, I KNEW what I’d be having for lunch…

    I was never a fan of guacamole until I met my husband. He makes the BEST guac (as we usually call it in our house). Even people who don’t like guacamole like my handsome hubby’s guac. His recipe is simple. It’s made with simple real ingredients. (I asked if he would let me share his…

    Baby it’s cold outside! It’s been years since I’ve seen truly cold weather – I mean single digit temperatures with below-zero wind chill. In order to help keep the heat bill down but stay warm, we’ve weather proofed our ground-floor apartment; plastic over the patio slider, towel rolled up as a stopper under the front…

    School has started and autumn is around the corner. It’s one of my favorite times of the year. We’ve just moved to Michigan, so this year we’ll be able to pick our own apples and pumpkins. That means we’ll be sampling cider, doughnuts, pies, muffins, apple butter and pumpkin butter, pancakes, cookies, cupcakes and cakes, dumplings,…
