When my friends say “let’s meet up for coffee,” what they really mean is “let’s meet up at Tammy’s house.”  You see I’ve got my very own built in coffee bar in my house, and I’ll play ‘barista’ for anyone who wants to share a cup with me 🙂  You name it, I have it, and my coffee machine collection includes not just one, but two Keurig brewers.  When I have guests in summer I replace the hot beverage concoctions and brew iced coffee, iced tea and low calories drinks, over ice.  And yes I do that with my Keurig!

I’m sure a lot of you are like me and don’t like heating up your kitchen during the summer.  That means our grill gets quite the work out.

My family isn’t very adventurous, they like the tried and true staples like beef burgers or hot dogs, but me I like to experiment with different ingredients and flavors.

This northern girl is LOVING that the heat of summer is in full swing here in Texas.  One of the things I’ve been loving about living here is the abundance of fresh produce available all year long and most of it is sold at reasonable prices.

We’ve been eating our fair share of fresh fruit around here.  We love eating watermelon, peaches, pears, bananas, strawberries..well you get the idea. You know what I don’t love though?

When we moved to Texas middle of July last year, the one thing I knew I was going to miss was my best friend AND her amazing 4th of July parties.

One of things I notice in my daily routine is that if I’m super busy and don’t have a menu plan for the week, my family can just forget about eating a proper meal.

I’ve used a number of meal planning services in the past.  I like each of them for different reasons.  Recently I’ve had the chance to use Relish!

For folks that haven’t meal planned before, I can share with you my experience using Relish!

I teased you a few days ago about the Good Cook Kitchen Drawer Sweepstakes.  It starts on June 2nd.  If you enter you’ll have a chance to either choose 15 Good Cook kitchen tools that you would like to have to make your ultimate kitchen drawer – look for the “Add Me” icon on participating products.

While we don’t primarily eat gluten-free we have plenty of friends who do.  It’s usually not too much of an issue to plan snacks or desserts around them when we entertain, but meals are a whole other matter.  I had full intentions of making this breakfast for my friend when she was here last week, but time got away from us and I never did 🙁  It’s extremely tasty and well worth making even if you don’t eat gluten-free.
