Black-Eyed Pea Salsa
Posted by Tracy | Filed under appetizers
I hope you all had a wonderful and happy Christmas! We did indeed; it was great to catch up with family and play games, share food, and simply enjoy one another’s company. I think my favorite part of our Christmas gathering was making homemade pierogi for Christmas dinner – just about everyone had their hands [...]

Basic Potato Salad
Posted by Tracy | Filed under soups, salads, & sides
This basic potato salad recipe is sort of a follow-up to my basic pasta salad recipe (I say sort of because I posted that recipe last summer – time flies!). It’s a simple, base recipe that you can add to or change up according to what you like best. For me, I’m not a fan [...]

A couple months ago, a friend and I were talking about getting together one night to cook Mediterranean cuisine. Since then, I’ve been craving Mediterranean food like nothing else!

Beef Bourguignon

I’ll admit it. After watching Julie & Julia, aside from being completely enamored with Julia Child, I had one thing on my mind – the beef bourguignon. I HAD to make it, and this past weekend, I had my chance. Hubby’s brother came to stay with us, so I had the perfect excuse to entertain [...]

Sweet Pulled Pork Taco Salad
Posted by Tracy | Filed under dinner
It might sound odd, but it was absolutely delicious. See, two nights ago I made pulled pork sandwiches – but even after we ate them, I still had about half the pulled pork left, which is about two pounds. Two pounds! I wasn’t really sure what to do with it, until I thought back to [...]
