Time is my enemy

Right now, time is not on my side.  It won't slow down and allow me to get everything done that I need to.  It seems like I blink and there goes my day.  I have determined, using very non scientific methods, that Time hates me that we are in a battle trying to find a balance that will make both sides of the equation happy. 

So my dear readers, that is why I have not been posting anything.  It has nothing to do with lack of cooking, well maybe just a bit but, I am finding my groove between work, school and home, but more with my lack of time.  I cook the new recipe, then forget to type it out because something more pressing interrupts me or I type it out and never take a photo, and of course have the best of intentions to prepare the recipe again so I can include a photo but don't. 

I will do my best, but the next few recipes everyone will just have to imagine how beautiful the photo was going to be and how utterly delicious the food was.

    No worries! You are a rock-star in my book. You get more done in one hour than I do in one day. Lack of ambition and inspiration are my enemy. I am eagerly waiting for my inspiration to return. By-the-by I have been back on the cookin' wagon (upon popular demand by the hubster).

    Hey I heard about a good book you might want to check out... "Family Feasts for $75 a Week" by Mary Ostyn. Seemed like something up your alley! Miss you lady! :)

The Best Ever Blueberry Muffins

Last week a co-worker's husband called work and when I answered the phone he started raving about the muffins his wife had made the night before.  He told me they were the best muffins she had ever made, which is saying a lot because she is a fabulous cook.  Later in the day I asked her for the recipe and she quickly printed it for me. Let's me just say, that these are definitely the best muffins I have ever made.  They have a light, cake like texture that isn't too sweet.  The best part about them is the wonderful blueberry swirl that combines with the whole berries.  And let's not forget the lemon sugar topping or the streusel topping, I made both because I couldn't decide which would be better--both are equally wonderful on top of these muffins.  Inadvertently, bought the wrong size container of blueberries at my store, so I didn't have as many as the recipe calls for, but it didn't matter they were still FABULOUS!  I plan on making more of...

Balsamic and Onion Pot roast

Whenever we get a beef we go through the meat in a certain order, steaks are gone first, followed by the burger and stew meat, and lastly we always have roasts.  It isn't that we don't like a good roast, but rather that I don't have a lot of experience producing a roast that is moist and juicy and flavorful.  I don't want to waste a good cut of meat on experimenting, so I usually wait until there are no other choices left and then make the roasts. When this happened recently, I turned to Pinterest for inspiration.  If you have not checked this site out I am urging you to do so very soon.  It is a plethora of ideas of ALL kinds, but my favorite are the food boards.  I found this recipe that someone pinned from Kalyn's Kitchen .  It is a slow cooker roast recipe that is moist, tender, and full of flavor.  I LOVE the depth of flavors created by the balsamic vinegar and beef broth along with the sweet roasted onions.  We served it w...

Peanut Butter Pound Cake

This month's recipe for the Secret Recipe Club comes from the blog Loving Life  written by Kirstin.  What I enjoyed about reading through this blog is the personal aspect Kirstin brings to all of her posts.  Not only are there recipes, but also daily life details of one family from the Pacific Northwest.  I love learning about those who write the blogs and getting to know about their life and what is important to them. I have shared on my blog a time or two that my husband's favorite dessert flavors are chocolate and peanut butter, in fact I have a chocolate and peanut butter category on my blog just so I can quickly find a recipe whenever he has a craving.  When I found this peanut butter pound cake at Loving Life I knew it was the recipe that I would be making for this month's reveal. As pound cakes go this one fits the bill.  It is dense, but moist, and very full of flavor.  Alone it reminds me of a peanut butter cookie in cake form, ...
