    2023 Week 32/33 – Pizza Pizza!

    What’s Going On:I missed the weekly post again last weekend, so it’s another double post this time around. We’ve been very fortunate with the weather this summer, but that’s about to come to an end this week, with temps hitting 99 degrees on Wednesday and 102 on Thursday (ouch). What I’m Eating:I’m a big fan…

  • 2022 Week 52 – Merry Christmas!

    We all have a lot to be thankful for this year. I started a new job in June that I absolutely love, and I hope to be there for many years to come. I left the rat race that is consulting in favor of an operations position with a not-for-profit I’ve worked with for the…

  • King Ranch Chicken Casserole

    King Ranch Chicken Casserole

    I’ll have to admit, this was a new one to me, and I wasn’t prepared to love it as much as I do. First of all, I’m not a fan of corn tortillas. I think their texture is odd, and the flavor can be overpowering. Secondly, there are not a lot of ingredients that go…

  • 2022-Week 42 & 43 – Catching Up

    2022-Week 42 & 43 – Catching Up

    I didn’t post last weekend because I was out of town for a wedding (and I forgot due to everything going on). So this week is a catch-up post covering a few things from the past 2 weeks. The trees are looking quite colorful this week, and I was going to try & go camping…

  • 2022 Week 5 – Quiet and Comfortable

    2022 Week 5 – Quiet and Comfortable

    Our “dusting” of snow this past Friday turned into a few inches and seemed to catch a lot of people off guard. There were several accidents around town including a few interstate shutdowns. I’m happy that it was a short commute to the office and back so I missed all the excitement. I’ve been seeing…

  • 2022 Week 3 – Settling in for the Winter

    2022 Week 3 – Settling in for the Winter

    It’s the NFL Wild Card weekend, and there have been some great games played these past two days. But, unfortunately, the Colts blew their chance to go to the playoffs last weekend with an embarrassing loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The only thing I like about the cold winter weather is the food we fix…

  • 2021 Week 52 – Looks Like We Made It!

    2021 Week 52 – Looks Like We Made It!

    It’s the final Sunday of 2021 & it’s time for another Year in Review! I wanted to bring the blog back to life this year and post at least once a week. I missed a few weeks throughout the year, but overall I’m pleased with how I was able to keep things active. Along the…

  • 2021 Week 35/36 – 4-Day Weekend!

    2021 Week 35/36 – 4-Day Weekend!

    I hope everyone enjoyed their Labor Day weekend. I took an extra day off work to make it more like a vacation. The weather was amazing, and it was nice to get out and be active without melting in the 90+ degree heat. I just realized this post should be for Week-36, so I must…

  • Scalloped Potato Gratin

    Scalloped Potato Gratin

    I’ve made this dish around the holidays for years and brought it out last weekend to go with a baked ham we were eating for dinner. It’s a pretty straight forward potato dish but the flavors and textures are really incredible. You can use as much, or as little, thyme and garlic as you like.…
