I played in a volleyball tournament two days ago. Two whole days. Yet, this morning it still feels like my body was beat with wooden sticks all night long. Oh, the sore muscles – how glorious! Yeah, you heard me. While I might wince and whimper as I start to lower into a chair, these sore muscles [...]

Scrap Ugly

I have said more than once that blogging is a lot like scrapbooking. You have a story to tell, and you do it with words and pictures. In my circle of scrapbooking friends, affectionately known as the Scrap Chicks, it is a huge benefit that we often look at each other’s projects and give our opinions. Why [...]

Hearty Meat Sauce -- Juggling With Julia

Old-schooling it today with something I’m sure you’ve enjoyed before – homemade meat sauce! This one’s thick, rich, and hearty with beef and sausage. If you’ve never made your own sauce (what??), I am telling you it is so easy and absolutely worth the little bit of effort. Or maybe you’ve done it, but just don’t have THE PERFECT recipe yet. Well, I’m [...]

Chili Rubbed Pork Tenderloin with Apricot Ginger Glaze

January 26, 2012 Pork

I know what you’re thinking… Pork tenderloin again? Is that all you eat?? No, definitely not. My first love is chicken. Are you getting kickbacks from the pork industry? Wouldn’t that be nice? But, no. Yes, this is the 5th pork loin recipe I’ve put out there. But I have to do it. I have to share [...]

Hearty Sausage and Chicken Soup

January 24, 2012 Chicken

No soup for you! Well, that’s almost what happened… I made this awesome soup A MONTH AGO, and then subsequently lost – and found – the recipe three times.  Every time I went to blog about it, I couldn’t find my notes. Then, it would turn up miraculously, only to be lost again in the Pile o’Crap [...]

Slow Cooker Pork with Sweet Savory Sauce

December 19, 2011 Crock Pot

Sunday, the “day of rest,” had a to-do list longer than Santa’s naughty/nice list. We were checking things off that list in a blur all day long. Prune Christmas tree so we can actually fit some presents under it?  Check.  Sweep up ridiculous amounts of pine needles that appear to spontaneously dive off of tree every [...]

Savory Pork Tenderloin

December 6, 2011 Pork

Saturday was the scene of Occupy Chex Mix at my house — an operation that takes over every inch of counter space as well as the oven, for hours. At 4:30, I was only half done. So, supper plans had to be simple. With a pork tenderloin in hand, I was in search of a quick recipe for the [...]

Pulled Pork and Peach Tostadas

July 13, 2011 Crock Pot

Pulled pork. Fresh peaches. Barbecue sauce. Ever since I saw this mouth-watering photo on Meg’s blog, I have been dying to get these flavors together on my own plate.  Finally, a month later, I did it, and boy was it so worth the wait!  I didn’t have polenta on hand (go figure), but by some miracle there [...]

Barbecued Pork Tenderloin, Ayuh!

June 29, 2011 Pork

Ahhhh, vacation begins!  We arrived at Little Tunk Lake  in Sullivan, Maine yesterday, immediately tripling the population here (hardy har har). Mark and his sisters used to vacation here as kids, but this is the first time they’ve been back in about 30 years.  It is still very much like they remember, save for the newly built cabins and [...]
