Who says you need beef for Philly Cheesesteaks? Okay, most people. But you all know that I am not most people and that – in fact – I prefer ground turkey in most recipes because it’s so versatile and marries so well to other spices and flavors. So of course when I saw a recipe […] Read more…
It’s still Tuesday, right? Good grief, I don’t know where this week is going – much less the entire the summer. I feel like my days are spent doing 651.5 different things, all while the clock is ticking away at double-time. Slow down!!

We continued on to Montana, where we visited the Little Bighorn National Monument, stayed in Billings for the night, and then pushed on to Yellowstone for the day. Little BigHorn […] Read more…
We’re in the midst of a very American road trip west this week … we just left Keystone, South Dakota and the Black Hills area, where we visited Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, and Deadwood. Today we’re traveling through part of Wyoming and Montana, with Little Bighorn National Monument, Pompey’s Pillar, and eventually Billings, Montana […] Read more…
