They say that Valentine’s Day is about Love. <snort> I disagree. Valentine’s Day is about CHOCOLATE! Until I married the Geek, I rarely had a “beau” on Valentine’s Day. Just my luck, I always either met a guy right after the Big V, or my relationship ended right before … Continue reading
Well, it finally happened. I mentioned in November that I didn’t think our beef supply was going to last until our next cow came back from butchering. I was right. I’ve been rationing my meat consumption for almost a month now. Weeks of eating Hamburger Hash at pretty much every meal, … Continue reading
I have something SO awesome to share with you, I can hardly stand it! I can take NO credit whatsoever for this delicious concoction. Most of my recipes are my own creations, or such a major overhaul of someone else’s idea that I can still claim it as my own. … Continue reading

On Thanksgiving, Mr. Charm snuck into the kitchen, pulled the trash can over to the counter, used it to climb onto the counter, opened the cabinet and grabbed the multi-vitamin gummy chews we used to give him, closed the cabinet, climbed down, and brought the bottle to me.

With this dual-elimination-diet-thing going on in my house, I’m scrambling like mad to find edible meals to serve my family. (Delicious is … Continue reading
I’m having to get creative here, folks. Getting rid of dairy, egg, rice, chicken, and all the other major allergens was N-O-T-H-I-N-G compared to the challenge of cooking fructose-free! I mean, how to you cook without tomatos, onion and garlic?! So, looking for a dinner idea the other night, I … Continue reading
One of the ways I can almost ALWAYS get Mr. Charm to eat veggies is to fry them. Yes, I know the arguments against frying. To which I say: Get over it! If my son is eating a vegetable, I don’t care how it’s prepared! This became a problem when … Continue reading
Take out eggs, cheese, and wheat, and what can you make for breakfast? Not. Much. For us, just beef and potatos, basically! That can get really boring, really fast, so I’m always looking for new ways to shake things up a bit. Here’s my latest breakfast creation: Hamburger Hash! It’s … Continue reading
Mr. Charm is in love with Larabars. Who can blame him? They’re yummy, but best of all, they’re pretty healthy and nutritious, too. That makes Mama happy, so we indulge him in his love of all things Lara. Have you seen the price of those things, though? It can really … Continue reading
