If you aren’t familiar with Pho you are missing out! This is a Viet Namese noodle soup that puts great focus on the broth. It needs to be full of flavor and not cloudy. You don’t want bits of the aromatics floating around so it’s strained before serving. I’ve seen it seasoned different ways but…
Football season is here and I decided to share some recipes that work well for serving guests or friends. The first thing I want to post is my spin-off version of Buffalo Chicken Dip that Frank’s hot sauce came up with. Of course it calls for a hot red sauce. But, I like to use…
I’m posting a recipe I made with some leftovers. It’s called Mexican Shredded Pork Casserole. I spend a lot of time reviewing places I have eaten. It’s time to post something I made!

Well, I haven’t posted a recipe in a while so I thought I’d share my bread pudding recipe. When I cook I like to keep things simple. Not because I’m lazy ( maybe I am a little these days ) but because I’m a working mother that has limited time. So, if I find…
My instinct to search out new and interesting places to dine took me to FoxGardin – Kitchen and Ale in Fortville Indiana. My husband and I had an evening without children and felt like an excursion but I didn’t want to go too far. Fortville is a much better drive than Indianapolis from where we live. I’d…
In the middle of the farming community of Gaston there is a little gem called the Barking Cow Ice Cream Parlor. This ice cream parlor (Old Fashioned Ice Cream) hosts an eclectic array of items from the area. The town itself has a population of about 850 folks.
