I introduce these recipes without meaning any offense to the first two. The first two were delicious. Had we made only these two, the post-volleyball tournament, post-re-doing her son’s room, post-religious-ed mass with the dead grandmother movie (Grandma’s Bread – look it up) crowd would have been pleased.
But then came the green beans. Continue reading…
You know my motto, if it’s April, and you aren’t having asparagus then you better have spinach. Fine, that’s not my motto at all, but this spinach salad, well…just, well. Continue reading…
As you can tell, Lucky Rhino has moved to a new home. I thank the fine folks at Tumblr but thought it was time to use the domain name I reserved years ago, pre-financial crisis, when there was a threat I would open a home goods store (not to be confused with my store crush on TJ Maxx/HomeGoods).

New feature – this will be where I post which recipes of the prior week worked out the best. One of my New Year’s resolutions was to get dinner on the table 4 out of the 7 days of week. Really more like 4 out of 6 because Pizza Night lives on. And really 4 out of 5 because the boys have band practice on Thursdays until after 9:00. So really, I’m killin’ it. Hopefully this leads to healthier choices (less take out) and can also remind me as to what recipes we liked rather than searching all my various Field Notes planners. Continue reading…
