Cooking is fun. Eating is funner. I cook, photograph and write these recipes.
Everything I post on this blog I make from scratch using fresh wholesome ingredients.. I've been cooking since I was a little kid.
My recipes are based on trial and error, along with studying cookbooks, family recipes, blogs and cooking shows.
Some of the veggies and herbs I use are grown in my garden. Yay sustainability!
I'm working on making my yard into an edible landscape. It's really fun to go out in the garden and pick your veggies for dinner!

This week, in honor of summertime, I’m going to post my favorite BBQ sides.
This is a dish we had often at my Grandparent’s house, because there were so many summer birthdays in our family. They had BBQ’s all the time when we were growing up. I love this creamy, cold, cucumber salad. This is based on an old Hungarian /German recipe and it’s delicious! This goes really well with spicy ribs or chicken.
I asked my Nana one time how she made this, and she looked at me like I was kidding. She said, “You just slice the cucumbers & onions and add a little sour cream and lemon juice, and a little salt and pepper, and some dill”.
So there you have it! I use plain yogurt instead of sour cream so I can save
calories for a cold beer or three.
