I’m a huge fan of Italian Grinders aka Italian Submarine Sandwiches. For me, it’s the Submarine Dressing that kicks up all those Italian meats and cheeses as they nestle into crusty Italian sub rolls.

I made these. Hee hee.
I’m as surprised as anyone at how easy it is to make Homemade English Muffins, all while your family sleeps. When my family came downstairs this morning and met me in the kitchen, I had a grin on my face a mile wide. Care for an English Muffin? Continue reading »

Homemade Ice Cream {in a Ziploc Bag}
Our first attempt at making ice cream in a Ziploc bag was the night I discovered Thin Mints in the freezer. It was late. For some reason we decided we couldn’t have one without the other. The ice cream was a success. The night was memorable. Continue reading »

Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup.
I recently saw a fb post from a well known blogger that asked followers if they used canned goods in their cooking. She received hundreds of comments that ranged from “NEVER” with a long list of the reasons why not to, to “My husband and I both work.
