So say one night, you’re home alone with your Mr. Wonderful. The kids are gone (who don’t eat mushrooms) and he is hankering for a manly bratwurst on the grill, slathered in spicy mustard, sprinkled with chopped onions, and sandwiched in a crusty, rustic bun. Say you want to even-out the food playing field, [...]

Today I’ll be making this recipe on my Rise & Shine segment! Please scroll to the bottom of the recipe for the printable recipe and check back later for the video if you missed it! So a few weeks back at Whole Foods in Tulsa, I got this really cute pasta. I know, pasta is [...]

Once upon a time, I attended a small private college in Kankakee, Illinois. True story – growing up I wasn’t allowed to go to movies or dances. Other true story – at this private church college, I wasn’t either, so we snuck off to nearby Chicago to go to movies, dance and… Eat pizza. If [...]

I’m sorry. I’m SO sorry. Please forgive me if I blow your diet. But you only grill out occasionally for a holiday and today we created this burger. What you can see in this picture, is a ordinary looking burger with some grilled onions and a little BBQ sauce on top. What you can’t [...]

This weekend was spent getting to know my new camera. Let’s just say, we have a lot more to get to know. I am learning so many things, but still have a lot left to learn. Here are a few of my pictures that actually turned out not completely blurry and that I like. My [...]

If you know me, you’ll know I am a Pho freak. I love this Vietnamese soup dish ..it warms me through and through and I have come to crave it of late. I could have been perfectly happy to have stayed with my steady Pho. We would have been blissfully happy for the rest of [...]

This week is Spring Break for me. You’d think I’d have posted more than normal, but it’s been nice to just enjoy time with family and friends and I’ve also been tackling some major projects around the house… Like going through my closet. Shudder. I should have posted this for St. Patricks Day, even though [...]

Sweet Chili Chicken with Peanut Dipping Sauce

DishinandDishes — Wed, 09 May 2012 15:16:55 +0000

So, this has become a regular in our household of late and it’s super easy and quick to make for, oh, say our 10 or more young adults and teens that congregate at our house Sunday after church. The sauce, OH the sauce!! We could seriously put a straw in it – it’s that good! [...]

It’s Sunday afternoon in our house. We slept in and skipped morning church, but the great news is – our church has 3 services every Sunday so we can go tonite! And if you saw my last post, my daughter is playing in the band at nite tonite so I’d rather go then anyway. Jason [...]
