Happy Fourth of July!

Today, I'm declaring my independence from the computer all day long!! (That is, right after this post....)
A smokin' gift idea for Dad
Friday, June 19, 2009
A new cookbook has indulged me with a state-by-state list of the best “serious barbecue” restaurants in the country AND recipes from said establishments. Check them out with Dad in mind!

Crazy about quinoa
Wednesday, May 27, 2009
I do this thing where I go completely ga-ga over a certain food and keep fixing it all kinds of ways until I get sick of it. This week, my obsession of choice is quinoa. (At least, it's not caramel, right?)
It's "Beer Can Chicken" time!

Two books celebrating comfort cloth
Thursday, May 21, 2009
When I was first married, I loved hitting garage and estate sales looking for vintage linens. Kids and career put my scavenging on hold, but these two books by EllynAnne Geisel make me want to revive my old hobby.
It's grillin' season!
Monday, May 18, 2009
To be honest, there is no grillin' season in my family. We'll cook out in twenty-degree weather, if we can. But now that it's spring, 90 percent of our cooking will be done outdoors. I can't wait to try this eggplant and red pepper recipe.
Good news for coffee junkies, er, drinkers

Coupons without scissors!
Monday, May 11, 2009
I've never been a big coupon clipper. It was too much of a hassle to sort through and cut them out and, when I did take the time, I'd forget to take the darn things to the store. That's the genius of Shortcuts.com.
Have your margarita and eat it, too!

I'm on the road today and I'm taking this list, compliments of Health magazine, with me. Here's hoping I can find one of these places at my destination:

Wednesday, April 29, 2009
I'm a sucker for soups made from root vegetables, and the humble carrot is one of my favorites. Here's a recipe I found online that will add some spice to your life as it warms your tummy.
Free grilled chicken at KFC today
Monday, April 27, 2009
Who says there's no such thing as a free lunch? Not Colonel Sanders, anyway.
Hungry Girl's "200 under 200"
Friday, April 24, 2009
After years of dieting, I think I finally figured it out: Burn more calories than you take in and you'll lose weight. (That sound you hear is every one of my doctors singing, "I told you so!") That's why I'm ordering Lisa Lillien's new cookbook.
