Barefoot! Butternut Squash Risotto

Finally, Fall has arrived in Kansas and it looks like it’s going to stick around for a while.  The leaves have started to change, apples are being bought by the bushel (by yours truly) and pumpkins are adorning doorsteps.

Barefoot! Grown Up Mac & Cheese and Patriot Day Tribute

Welcome Home, My Love.

**not gluten free**

I seriously considered not participating in this round for Barefoot Bloggers.  I’m an Air Force wife, and today is Patriot Day.  Seven years ago the world as we knew it changed.  I felt I should write about Patriot Day and what it means to me instead.  I’ve wrapped it [...]

Barefoot! Butterflied Chicken

Last night was supposed to be our last night with The Mother-In-Law and Father-In-Law.  We had such a wonderful week with them, the decided to stay an extra day!  I wish they didn’t have to go, but home beckons.  I do believe that MSgt Gomer Pyle and A1C Radar convinced them to get a baby [...]

Barefoot! Grilled California Pizzas

**not gluten free**

Yesterday when The Husband and I were doing a little grocery shopping at Target I asked him what kind of pizza he wanted.  His reply was, “Oh, the usual.”  Slightly miffed I said, “Why don’t we try something new?  Like a buffalo chicken pizza?”  The Husband looked at me with horror [...]

“ch… mmm… nuphen”

I walked into the kitchen to find The Husband’s bum sticking out of the refrigerator while he was standing inside it eating our dinner.
“Honey?”
“Hmmm?”
“You know that’s for [...]

Barefoot! Coeur a la Creme

This is a bonus week for the Barefoot Bloggers.  The recipe was chosen by Becke at Columbus Foodie.  I must admit; I’ve been very busy this week and my mind has been preoccupied with other things.  While constructing this recipe the other day, I wasn’t totally focused on the mission at hand… but [...]

Barefoot! Smoked Salmon Spread

The Husband grew up in Long Island, I know I’ve touched briefly on the variety of things he was accustomed to eating as an adolescent but I’ve purposefully neglected telling you about bagels with lox and cream cheese.  I don’t eat fishies.  In fact, my distaste for anything fishie is so great that I [...]

Barefoot! Jalepeno Cheddar Cornbread

If I told you I love cornbread, it would be an understatement.  Like peanut butter, I have to refrain from going anywhere near cornbread.  I will eat the whole pan.  The Mom used to make cornbread in a pyrex pie plate (say that 3 times fast!) so that’s my preferred cornbread shape.  For the Barefoot [...]

Peanut Butter & Jelly Bars

I have a mild obsession with peanut butter.  I actually have to go months without eating it because I have a tendency to eat all of it. 

I try to incorporate peanut butter into deserts because it seems less guilty than standing at the pantry door with a spoon and jar of peanut [...]
