Chicken Chatanika

Sometimes you come up with a dish....and you simply have no idea what to call it. I decided to call this "Chicken Chatanika" - named after the river that I love to spend time at. I thought it had a nice ring to it.

So...Chicken Chatanika.

Year in Review.....the FOOD

I posted more recipes this year than I realized! This is a list of all the recipes that I posted or "revamped" in 2011.

Looking Back on 2011

It's that time of year again! Time for the second Annual "Year in Review!"

Love At Barnes & Noble

My daughter and I were at Barnes & Noble today, and as I stood in line at the Starbucks...we were lucky enough to witness something lovely.

Merry Christmas

From our family, to yours.

Latest Painting Project

This is my latest painting project... "Topping Out" the fireweed.

My Latest Project

A while back, I posted about rediscovering something that I love to do....paint. I never said I was a professional or anything, but I do love it. I painted this last night.

Soppressata Puffs

Tonight I tried a recipe that I saw on Foodnetwork recently. All I call say is OH. EM. GEE!!!! Ridiculously simple, and insanely delicious!

Soppressata + Gruyere + Puff pastry. You'll die.

Aurora and a little Announcement!

Last week, the Aurora gave another nice display, and since it was not negative 41 degrees, I decided to go out and take a few photos.

Photo for a Friend

The other day, I was on facebook, and I mentioned that on my list of things to do that day, was the chore of driving to North Pole to go to a pharmacy to pick up a ridiculously expensive medication for Hickory.

A friend from school commented, chuckling, that I was driving to the North Pole.

So I took this picture for her.



She was tickled :)

Maple Walnut Pie

This pie is a nod to the traditional Pecan pie, with a bit of a difference. It uses Walnuts instead of Pecans, and Maple Syrup instead of Karo. The results are delicious!
