    Lemon Blueberry Coffee Cake

    April 12, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I don’t mind telling you that I’m not ready to start a new week. Do I have to? I believe I’d like to continue my state of denial at least through Madam Secretary and The Good Wife tonight. You don’t mind, do you? So first of all, the sun actually shone…

    Turkey Tuesday: Mac and Cheese with Smoked Turkey Sausage

    April 7, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Sometimes a mom just needs a go-to macaroni and cheese recipe that isn’t straight out of a box. As much as Joe would prefer the box variety (and generally I’m fine with that), I sometimes get a craving for the homemade stuff. Like this Mac and Cheese with Smoked Turkey…

    Easter. Family. Farm.

    April 5, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    When life gets stressful for me, I always find the farm a very helpful place to get away. Is it the sense of calm that descends as we drive down the very familiar driveway, lined with decades-old trees and farm fields near and far to the eye? Is it because no…

    Turkey Tuesday: Egg Bake with Turkey Sausage

    March 31, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Let’s hear it for breakfast for dinner! (And this Egg Bake with Turkey Sausage.) That’s what happened at our house tonight because I wanted to make today’s turkey recipe and get some good photos of it. Ah, that’s life living with a blogger. Teacher Man and Joe didn’t even blink. I…

    Toddler Time!

    March 29, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    We spent time with our niece, Miss Morgan, on Saturday and Sunday morning. She’s just over 15 months and quite the little toddler now. Tonight, as I was going through all the photos I took, I realized I had captured quite a few different looks. So tonight, I bring you…

    Does USA Today know how your chicken got to the table? (No, they don’t.)

    March 26, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Honestly. Sometimes I just want to watch House Hunters on HGTV and not worry about the demise of critical thinking in this world. But no, invariably something happens to mess up the best of plans. Like this USA Today opinion piece that was posted last night: “Know how that chicken…

    Turkey Tuesday: Turkey Enchiladas

    March 24, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It’s time for another Turkey Tuesday recipe, folks! And this one for Turkey Enchiladas is a sure-fire winner because 1) I taste-tested it on our good friends, Teresa and Scot, who came over for dinner last Saturday; and 2) it’s a version of a Pioneer Woman recipe. If you know…

    High Five for Friday | Or How Laziness Ensues

    March 20, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I figure it was 16 hours tops. That’s how much sleep I got total on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights.  Some people don’t need 7-8 hours of sleep a night, but I happen to not be one of those people. This is why it would be more than a slight understatement…
