My Daily Travels

My Saturday mornings typically start out with me watching Food Network. During commercials, I was able to finish two loads of sheets and blankets and make a holiday shopping list. I enjoy the variety of recipes from the different chefs and home cooks. I spotted a Brussels sprout casserole that takes... Sign in to see full entry.

I am always up for a bowl of soup when it's chilly outside, even though we usually have pizza or fish on Friday. A glance through my freezer's inventory last night was the deciding factor in choosing 15-bean soup for our dinner today. I would have preferred the crab soup, but my hubby does not do...

Once in a while, McDonald's brings back the semi-retired McRib sandwich. I'm not really sure why they take it off their menu each time it makes a comeback, but they do.

Sign me up, please! You don't have to ask me twice when it comes to feasting on one of my favorite foods, and nachos can go anywhere from simple to complex when it comes to loading them up. I learned today that each state has its favorite location for the tastiest nachos, and today is National... Sign in to see full entry.
