No-Bake Key Lime Cheesecake Bars

Last year while on a group ride that was a little too slow for even me, a rider looked over and told me some day I would have to get a 'real bike' if I wanted to be taken seriously. Wow... really? First, I think anything you have to pedal yourself is a real bike. I mean, lets be real, the bike will never make the ride - it will always come down to how well the rider can handle the bike. And on that note, I am still a novice. But, I finally got a 'real bike'. Actually, I got two. And Handsome got one himself. Cuz if your going to break the piggy bank open, you might as well use a sledgehammer. ; ) And since I didn't have the energy or time (after getting sucked into this crazy Amy hot mess) I'm just going to jump right into the key lime cheese cake bars. We can be honest with one another, you aren't drooling over your keyboard cuz of that lean mean carbon machine up there. … [Read More...]

Corn-Chip Chicken Salad

Some days I want to quit. I want to pick my bike up and throw it into the woods and never look back. Some time between the seventh or tenth attempt to not get over a log, around the fourth crash things just start to get not fun. I am not pro rider. Heck, I’m [...]

Chocolate Marble Loaf Cake

We’re baby sitting Goulda, my 140 pound rotty, again. She has progressed amazingly from the scared abused animal she was the first time she came over, who couldn’t walk up the stairs and into our house. She hid behind me and away from any males, dropped to the ground submissively with any noise, and was in general [...]

Tuna Pasta Salad

Part of me wishes every weekend could be as action packed as this last one, and part of my knows I will never survive. The computer was shut down from Thursday afternoon on as the day ended up becoming a much needed day spent tending to the yard and garden with some unexpected free time… [...]

Tres Leches Cake

Cinco de Mayo is almost here and I am really really sad. I’m pretty sure I could eat Mexican for an entire month long celebration of Cinco de Mayo if we wanted to make this party last… But I’m also sure I would be painfully single and looking for a place to rent on the [...]

I believe in Santa Claus and a No Fuss Fudge

The other day my co-worker asked my boss and I when is the right time to explain the ‘truth’ about Santa to his little boy. His son is getting to that age where some kids know, and others don’t, but he doesn’t want his son to be picked on or bullied in school for still [...]

Salpicon Beef Salad

For those following the epic race season I have been (unintentionally) have this spring this Monday isn’t going to let you down (and by epic, I mean that I’m racing. Not that it’s been amazing or anything). For the rest of you who are just upset that I am no longer publishing on time… This [...]

Top Chef Season 8, Episode 3: Frasier Has Left The Building

I’ve heard more than one person remark lately that they are glad that they don’t bet on NFL games. This is wise, as parity has made each week an exercise in guesswork at best. And so it is, too, with Top Chef: All-Stars. We’ve already seen Jennifer Carroll pack her knives and go (ballistic), and [...]

With all the new recipes I post on PtS, it rarely leaves time for any repeat meals. Sure we have our favorites (Mr. Ortega, will you please marry me so I may inherit your wonderful taco empire?) but it’s pretty much a new surprise every time I call out that dinners ready. “What do you [...]
