It doesn't matter if you have air conditioning, the oven turned on in the late spring and summer makes for a really warm kitchen. We cook a lot of things stove top, use our George Foreman or go outside and grill. For… Continue reading Recipe: Shredded Steak Tostadas
I owe you this recipe. A few weeks ago I went on a chicken salad kick, mostly because I love dill and this was an easy way to get in some protein without a ton of carbohydrates. I don't like to put food into categories - I want to eat what I want when I… Continue reading Recipe: Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad

Have you ever had a Monte Cristo sandwich? A Monte Cristo is a ham and cheese that is dipped in egg and then cooked. It's topped with powdered sugar.
