This is the signature bumper sticker from the great blog, Dinner A Love Story I have had several conversations with people lately about MENU PLANNING. I think people have to find their own personal style and the system that works for them. We have finally found a system that works for us. The challenge is … Continue reading Finding Your Menu-Planning Groove
Sometimes when I haven't gotten to talk to a friend for a while and we have lots of things to catch up on, I start a list before we get together of topics I don't want to forget to discuss. I don't know if you are like me when you start talking with people you … Continue reading My "Here Comes Summer " List
In 1991, the spring of my freshman year of college, I had a memorable encounter with onion rings and baby back ribs. I was thrilled to be asked out on dates with guys in college, as this dating thing was a new experience for me. I was invited to dinner by this guy that I had … Continue reading Crispy Baked Onion Rings
I have been depriving myself the fun of blogging the past few weeks as I have been in the thick of paper grading and semester-ending for school. It has been a discipline to stay away from the BLOG in order that I might focus all of my quiet, productive hours on grading the stacks and … Continue reading Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
A few weeks ago I had an unexpected opportunity. I had recently stopped by my friend Connie's house when she was making Salmon Cakes. I had honestly never thought about making Salmon Cakes. I don't know why. I guess my mother never made them when I was a kid. Connie suggested I email our … Continue reading Salmon Cakes

Jelly beans, sweet tarts, chocolate bunnies, peeps, chicks and bunnies, Cadbury cream eggs, robin eggs (Whoppers but candy coated and speckled), chocolate dipped coconut and peanut butter eggs, just to name a few. The list goes on … Continue reading Easter Treats
Last week I found a list I had written about 6 months ago of “things to post on the blog”. I realized that I could mark most of them off of my list because I have since blogged about them. I had this moment of panic and thought, “Oh no, am I at the … Continue reading Banana Pudding
Chicken Salad is a personal thing. I think there are as many recipes for chicken salad as there are personalities. They range from savory, to nutty and fruity, to pickle-y, to curried, to sweet, to smooth, to chunky... you get my point. My favorite bought Chicken Salad is from Bread and Company. They actually … Continue reading Chicken Salad
We have had a week of sickness around the Hunt house. Strangely, it has spanned the gamut from a migraine headache mom; to a stomach-nastiness-turned dry-coughing-at-night and runny-nose-in-the day girl; to a coughing-hacking-sniffling boy... and in my mind is swirling, "the nighttime, sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, stuffy head, fever..." NyQuil's classic ad. So, the comfort … Continue reading Sick Days: Soup, Vicks, Emergen-C and TLC
I really love breakfast foods. However, sometimes it's too early in the morning for me to want heavy or savory things, and of course most mornings I don't have time to prepare breakfast meals. It's most likely that I eat yogurt and granola, a bowl of fruit or oatmeal, or an english muffin with a … Continue reading French Toast For Breakfast… or Dinner
