Yes, I realize it’s hard to believe (and even a tad bit ludicrous) that tonight was the first time this Italian girl had ever made meatballs. I’m a proud 1/4 Italian. Though you would probably never guess it. Anyways here’s the “recipe” that evolved out of my mixing bowl and my Italian bred tastebuds. To […]
The One with [DQ] Blizzards
fresh cilantro is the bomb. breezes blowing through the house is appreciated. great times had at Chris & Katie Thomas’s wedding. having the wedding pictures deleted from my camera is not a good thing. (Dad E., can anything be done?!) why am I watching the US Open? like father like daughter I guess. rearranged basement […]
The One with the Strawberries
Listening to God’s prodding reaps positive results. Funny how that works. It’s like St. Ignatius of Loyola said, “Sin is unwillingness to trust that what God wants is our deepest happiness.” David Benner adds to that, “Until I am absolutely convinced of this I will do everything I can to keep my hands on the […]
The One with (another) Wedding
It’s been a great couple of days. Not only has the weather been ideal for my preferences, but we’ve enjoyed a wedding, a children’s led worship service, a fantastic time with the youth group, and more. Friday evening, we traveling 20 minutes down the road to Clair & Caitlin’s wedding rehearsal. It was kind of […]
Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
This recipe came on the back of the Quaker Oats container, so I figured it must be pretty good. :) I compared the ingredients with this recipe and after finding that there were significant differences, I decided this was worth a try. They turned out great–especially when I let them rest on the cookie sheet […]

Ghirardelli Chocolate Chip Cookies
I came upon this recipe in Kevin’s mom’s recipe box. It was the summer of 2006 when Kevin was working on the campus of the State University of New York on Long Island. Missing him as I was, I spent an afternoon at the Eccles’ home coming up with a care package for him–including a […]
The One with the Crazy Rants
So I’m just wondering…has anyone figured out why there is the “me” included in my blog address? Well, besides the fact that adorkable.blogspot.com was already taken…by some teenager who posted once. four years ago. about her lame boyfriend. Geez, I was a bit irritated when I found that out. What a waste of a perfectly […]
The One where the Game is Over and I Can Go to Bed
It’s after 10pm and I’m tired, as per usual. But alas, I remain at my desk drowsily operating my fingers and attempting to keep my mouth from gaping open in it’s pre-sleep-getting-ready-to-salivate-all-over-my-pillow state. Gross, I know. TMI? probably. meh. I’m still awake because my husband is still awake and I have been completely spoiled this […]
Balsamic Tomatoes, Beans and Rice
I found this recipe on kraftfoods.com last week one night when I was completely at a loss for what to fix for dinner. This looked quick and easy and not to mention nutritious. I am SO glad I gave it a chance. It was delicious and even better for left overs. 1 can (28 oz.) […]
