Cinco de Mayo, Grilling & BBQ Recipes, New

Grilled Chicken Fajitas

We are a year-round grilling family. Generally, it's low-key. Just my husband and I, and the kids too. It usually consists of a main dish and then two side dishes -- anything from beans to fruit to salads. Our everyday grilling is easy going, no stress, and I love it!

DIY Craft: Decorated Metal Recipe Box

I have a bit of a compulsion with metal boxes. If I find a metal box -- with a lid -- at a thrift store, you can be almost certain that I will buy it.

If you don't recall my first post about my dining room, you can read it here: Christmas Decorating in the Dining Room, but I'll give you a quick recap  here too.

DIY: Family Recipe Shadowbox Frame

I love hearing stories about the favorite recipes in families. It's always interesting to ask someone "what was the best thing your mom cooked?" (replace mom with dad, grandma, aunt -- whatever you'd like). Almost everyone has something to share or say about those foods they ate when they were younger. The smells, tastes, and sights of yummy bites that have been etched into their memories.
