Quick & Lazy Potato Pancakes
Quick & Lazy Potato Pancakes

On Saturday, while we were cleaning up and preparing for the arrival of Mr. Man’s grandparents, I made a very lazy and lame lamb pot roast with potatoes for dinner in the crockpot. It barely qualified as a recipe, 3 lbs of lamb shoulder, 1 quart of broth, 2-3 lbs of potatoes; peeled and diced [...]

Sausage and Gravy (over biscuits)
Sausage and Gravy (over biscuits)

As I mentioned in my previous post, Mr. Man and I have been super busy painting and decorating and visiting with family the last couple of weeks. Because of that, I’ve barely had time to cook, let alone blog. Fortunately, I did already have a few little recipes and pictures tucked away, just waiting for [...]

Sausage and Kale Frittata
Sausage and Kale Frittata

The Farm Fresh box came last night, and of course, I had to make something with it as soon as possible. I decided to use the Kale in this Frittata for breakfast this morning – although, after I was (of course) committed to it, I realized that this Kale was the sweetest Kale I’d ever [...]

Apple Cheddar Oat Scones
Apple Cheddar Oat Scones

These Scones came out really incredible – I might have to make a batch for the Meet on Friday – that is if I’m not inspired to make something else before then. I usually don’t have quick-cooking oats on hand, but last time I ran out of Rolled Oats and bought some more, I accidently [...]

Savory Oatmeal with Poached Eggs
Savory Oatmeal with Poached Eggs

If there’s one thing Mr. Man and I can never agree on – it’s breakfast foods. He’s always been a solidly eggs-toast-sausage kinda guy. Which isn’t exactly healthy. Atleast, not the way he eats it… 3(!) eggs and buttered toast… I’ve tried to suggest/offer dishes that included veggies and whole grains, but generally they’ve been [...]

Overnight Pancakes
Overnight Pancakes

Miss Thing had a friend spend the night on Saturday. It happened to be her best friend at school, and the first time said friend had come over – so of course, she drove us all nuts trying to get everything just perfect. We still haven’t really unpacked or anything yet, mostly because we decided [...]

Whole Wheat Buttermilk Biscuits
Whole Wheat Buttermilk Biscuits

Last night I whipped up a quick dinner for Mr. Man, Miss Thing and myself, a Spicy Butternut Soup and these biscuits. I wanted to incorporate some whole grains in to the meal, so I did half and half on whole wheat/all purpose flour. Surprisingly, they’re fluffier, with a softer crumb than I would have [...]
