IMG_3694.jpg

Experimenting With Costco & A Rack of Pork

Although we have many family members that are members at Costco, Eric and I had never been in one until this past weekend.

I have such a love-hate relationship with rice, especially when it comes to the kids. Our kids have always been big fans of rice, but it seems like that love is strongest when they are babies. Tonight, I found out that is true with Jill as well. And as I found that out, I was … Read more

Ummm…a double oven? Seriously? Like I would ever say no to that. I mean, I do … Read more

I’ve struggled with ground turkey for years. It’s something I always want to include more of in our meals in place of ground beef, but I always find the taste a little lacking. The compromise that I use is to combine it with ground beef in equal proportions on a regular basis. That’s always been … Read more
