We decided to celebrate our anniversary a few weeks early by taking a trip to Asheville, North Carolina. Asheville is a city in the moutains of Western North Carolina. It has a quaint, busy downtown area and we were able to eat lunch at 12 Bones, which has gotten some press for being a place…

Honey-Rosemary Ice Cream
I saw this recipe in Bon Appétit and thought it was perfect timing because I had some rosemary left over from this chicken dish. This was the first time I used my ice cream maker this year! It definitely had a different taste with the rosemary, but I liked it. I can’t say the same…
Samoas Cookie Bars
It is finally Girl Scout cookie time! My favorite cookie are the Samoas. They have always been my favorite, even when I was a Girl Scout. Now I am happy that I have a recipe when I want Samoas and there is not Girl Scout in sight to sell me any. I was so excited to…
Curried Lentil Soup
I told Mr. G that we are going to cut back on our meat consumption. After getting a serious case of the *side-eye*, I explained that he doesn’t need to eat meat at every meal. Before we were married, I would go days without eating meat. I’m not trying to take him there (I’m lucky…
Curried Chicken with Ginger and Yogurt
I didn’t think I would get this up in time since it’s Crockpot Tuesday, but here it is! March’s issue of Real Simple has a few slow cooker meals, and I decided to try this one out first. I am trying to use up some spices in my spice rack and curry is one of…
Homemade Peppermint Patties
Happy Valentine’s Day! Last Thursday, I tweeted that I was not baking anything for Valentine’s Day. Well I lied to myself. I ended up making red velvet cheesecake brownies for Mr. G to take to work. Luckily, these peppermint patties did not require baking. My sister loved York Peppermint Patties growing up so I made these for…
Honey Lime Chicken Wings
I am a little sad that football season being over now since the Super Bowl was on Sunday. I hope your team won! I wasn’t cheering for anyone, but just enjoying commercials, and eating. This is one of the items that I made for the event. They were both sweet and tart with a crunch. …
Roasted Tomato Soup
I am not much of a tomato soup fan. I love the tomato basil soup from La Madeleine, but that was it…until I made this. I made this for my BFF and her husband(who welcomed a baby boy into the world today), and while I tasted it to make sure it had enough seasoning, I…
Cranberry Scones
I am currently making more freezer meals for my BFF whose baby is due soon. Since I have made a few, I have decided to add a new category entitled “Freezer Meals” that you will be able to search for if you want to put some things away. They will include the instructions for freezing…
Rosemary Roasted Potatoes
I had some rosemary left over from this recipe, so I decided to use them to season my roasted red potatoes. The potatoes were a little crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Rosemary Roasted Potatoes A Mrs. G Original Ingredients: 2 lbs. red potatoes, quartered 2 Tbsp. olive oil Coarse sea salt…
