Slainte!

St. Paddy's is over, and - while most of us are moving on - there are a select few (ahem, like me) who want nothing more than to cling tightly to the memory of the guilt-free weekend full of debauchery and overindulgence that lay behind us.

Well, folks, I aims to please.

Doing Leftovers Right

How was your Thanksgiving?! I am totally stuffed. Like, don't want to look at another yam as long as I live (or at least for a few days) stuffed. But the problem with being stuffed after Thanksgiving is that you have 12 tupperware containers full of leftovers staring you in the face for the next week.

Now I don't know about you, but I can't bare the thought of eating one more turkey breast sandwich with stuffing on the side. It's time to kick these leftovers into gear.

Crock Pot Potato Leek Soup

This week, Yukon Gold Potatoes were on sale, 2 bags for $5, at Giant Eagle Market District. So of course, I felt the need to buy two bags. Then I got to wondering what the heck I was going to do with 8 lbs of potatoes.

Brussel Sprouts a la Blake

As I was making dinner last night, I realized I was making a side dish that I invented eons ago and now know by heart because we love it so much. I decided to share this recipe with you folks in the event you're ever looking for a unique twist on Brussel Sprouts!

They see me rollin'...

During a recent trip to Giant Eagle, PID and I noticed that Pillsbury biscuit and crescent roll products were on sale at three for $5 so, of course, we snagged six. What this means is that we had quite the unnecessary excess of reduced fat crescent rolls. I half expected the Dough Boy to pop out and poke US in the belly button.
