  No fuss.  Nothing fancy.  Sometimes the simplest things are the best.  This recipe was born out of necessity.  I was out camping with some teenagers and they wanted to go fishing.  Great!  My hubby took them fishing and they caught some Rainbows.  Ah, but you can’t just catch them and throw them away!  The teens learned how to gut it and then actually eat it.  Eek!  They had never had trout.  Cue the picky palate.   Nervously, I looked through our meager camp food...

This is one of our favorites!  My hubby approves and asks for it often.    It’s a great crowd pleaser, and the leftovers (if there are any) are awesome the next day.  Because there is so much meat with the salami and the bacon, this pasta salad is hearty enough as a meal in itself.  I’ve served this as a side to some grilling favorites, and also as a beautiful salad for a ladies’ dinner or buffet.  The portions here are quite large...

Here’s a great way to use up any crusty bread that’s getting a little too crusty.  I had some baguettes that were past their prime, so I decided to please my crouton-loving son and make some homemade croutons.  Garlicky, salty yumminess!   Homemade Croutons 2015-09-15 05:51:16 Write a review Save Recipe Print Ingredients Baguette cubed into 1/2" squares Generous olive...

If you have a young boy, do you have this problem?  My son likes to keep his Lego set packaging so that he can look at the pictures.  I guess it’s like a magazine for him.  The problem is, of course, that it’s a mess of broken down boxes that keep his room from looking nice and neat.  Well, I had an idea. I needed to turn this pile of boxes… … into a more organized apparatus like this…   Using ModgePodge, I glued some fabric...
