Ahh comfort food. As you may have seen in yesterday’s post, I recently bought a potato masher. Previously, the only potato mashing device I had was a ricer, which made for a rather labor-intensive (but oh-so smooth and creamy) batch of mashed potatoes. But sometimes you just want to get down to business and mash … Continue reading

Epic photo shoot of the fruits of my epic retail therapy session
Saturday. Well today I woke up in an unexplainable funk. My ever-busy brain wouldn’t give it a rest, even on a Saturday morning, and I wasn’t able to sleep in much this morning because of this. Emerging from my dark bedroom, I opened the dining room blinds to reveal a gloomy, soggy scene, shattering any … Continue reading
Baked Veggie Ziti
Tonight I nommed on some leftovers from yesterday’s vegetarian dinner: This dish, Tuscan Vegetable Baked Ziti from kraftfoods.com was good, but nothing wildly impressive. It was, to my satisfaction, very easy to make however. First I cooked mini ziti pasta and drained it, and then simply mixed the pasta with sliced red bell pepper, zucchini, … Continue reading
100th POST! – Corn Chowder and Tomato Bruschetta
I’ve been looking forward to tonight’s dinner for a few days! I do believe this meal is worthy of meggoesnomnom’s 100th POST!! I can’t believe I’m already up to my 100th blog entry! Mind-blowing.

I ordered Caribbean Chicken, which the menu describes as, “two pineapple-soy marinated chicken breasts, topped with tropical fruit salsa, with herb rice and fresh steamed vegetables,” with a cold glass of Sangria. I was surprised how flavorful the … Continue reading
Red-and-Green Christmas-in-July Dinner
Today, Meijer had a giant display of huge honeyrock melons on sale for 3 for $4. How could you resist! I picked up my favorite from the display, paid for my groceries, and brought them out to load into my car, safely securing Mr. Honeyrock in his own special place behind my seat, so he … Continue reading
Sidetrack Black Bean Burger LUV
Yesterday the parents were in town to help out with some things around the house and yard, and after a day of labor, we went to Sidetrack for some eats. Since it is impossible for me to stray from ordering their black bean burger, I opted for the Michigan Harvest Salad, which contains (per the … Continue reading
Metzger’s fest
Guten tag! Okay, let’s be real, I haven’t taken German since junior high, when I had German for 1/3 of one semester. Ha. Friday night was a German indulgence, at Metzger’s! I started out with the German Bier Sampler. I wish I could tell you what these were. All I can say is that #4 … Continue reading
Homemade Fish Stix
Tonight’s dinner recipe called for seasoned bread crumbs. What’s a girl to do with only plain bread crumbs in the pantry (a.k.a., my linen closet, which I made into a pantry,😀 )? Make her own, of course. To half of a cup of plain store-bought bread crumbs, I added 1/4 tsp. of each of the … Continue reading
