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!

Yum! This is the best chicken ever. It’s so tangy and sweet, but also savory and completely delicious!
I don’t have a picture of this right now. It was too dark to take a photo when It came out of the oven last night. I’ll make more tomorrow and take a photo.
Here’s the marinade:
Mix the juice of 1 orange, with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar, 2 cloves garlic crushed, 1 inch of fresh ginger, grated, salt and pepper, a shake of red pepper flakes, (less than 1/8th tsp, or more if you like hot and spicy), and 2 big tablespoons of organic apricot preserves. Mix it all together. There’ll probably be some chuncks of apricot, but they melt away in the oven.
Marinade organic chicken pieces in this mixture for about 2 hours (or longer) in the fridge. I turned mine halfway through. If you do it in a Ziploc bag it might be easier, but I was out of Ziploc bags.
Bake at 350 till cooked through, goldeny & glazed. Yummy. Best chicken ever.
Peach and Blueberry Chicago Fruit Shake
This drink is randomly titled due to the mug I chose to serve it in.
In a blender combine 1 peach (pitted of course), 1/2 cup ice cubes, 3/4 cup frozen organic blueberries, 1 small container plain yogurt, the juice of 2 fresh oranges. Blend. Enjoy! Go Bears!
