Handsome Hubby likes to go hunting. Deer hunting in particular. That means I need to learn how to cook Bambi venison. Venison is definitely not something that is super common on America’s dinner tables, but it has a lot of health benefits. It is super high in protein and iron and is pretty low in fat, […]
The Rookie Foodie shows us how to make Eye of Round with Horseradish Cream.
Hi all! I am dealing with lots of family issues at the moment and there are some fabulous bloggers who will be dropping by to help keep The V Spot running. My dear friend Connie from The Rookie Foodie (and also from the hilarious The Young And The Relentless) is here today to share her […]
How to make a good Quesadilla. (So easy.)
Quesadillas. I love them. I mean, really love them. They are my go-to meal… my version of grilled cheese. They are comfort food, and are so easy to make! My favorite are Chicken Quesadillas. They are a sure fire hit every time I make them. Easy enough for family night and good enough for company. […]
What are you serving up on Superbowl Sunday?
People who watch the Superbowl fall into two categories: Those who pretend to watch the game, but are really only there for the company and the Superbowl Commercials. Those fans who are so focused that they get annoyed if anyone speaks during the game. (Or coughs… or makes any little non-football-related sound at all…) No matter […]
A S’Mores Recipe Round-Up (since I can’t wait for summer…)
Ah, camping and summer vacations… Ah, S’Mores…. Ah, Pinterest. We’re starting to plan our summer camping trip and vacations. It’s got me thinking about S’Mores. I love them, but sometimes they are hard to make, (or messy) or your vacation plans are taking you someplace that isn’t good for S’Mores Making. Pinterest has some answers […]
Make “sun-dried” tomatoes in the oven.
I love sun-dried tomatoes. In salads, in sauces, on sandwiches… seriously on just about anything. We did NOT have a bumper crop of tomatoes this past year (bummer) but the little grape tomatoes frequently go on sale at the grocery store. I buy 3 or 4 boxes at a time. Sometimes I use them quickly… […]
Wine marinated Beef Stew, served with a side of Funny. mmm mmm good.
Yesterday Giada De Laurentiis was on The Today Show sharing some recipes for comfort foods. One of them was for a Chianti marinated beef stew. Sounded good. I didn’t have the exact ingredients that she used, so I winged it. I used a Cabernet to marinate the meat instead of Chianti. Grant was watching the wine-marinating process. […]
A simple, kid-friendly centerpiece.
Should form follow function…? Function follow form…? Why not put them in the same bowl? It’s tangerine season, and we go through a 5 pound box of Cuties at least once a week around here. By adding the tangerines to a bowl of pine cones, I have a simple, everyday winter centerpiece and I […]
Thanksgiving tablescape. A rained out Thanksgiving: going to Plan B (with minimal freaking out.)
My dining room is too small to fit the 15 to 20 people that come over for Thanksgiving dinner, so I always host it outside on our patio. Living in Southern California, it’s usually safe to do this. However, this year there were cold temperatures (62 degrees. brrr!) and a threat of rain. (Yes, yes, […]
No more burned tongues! Make hot cocoa ice cubes.
I shared this simple tip over at I {Heart} Naptime last week. It’s an easy way to help keep your little people from getting burned by one of the holiday season’s most common treats: hot cocoa. Have you ever burned your tongue? Of course you have. It hurts, and it would be preventable if you […]
