Barefoot! Pot Pie

**not gluten free**

Every year a bunch of A-10 pilots, maintainers and enthusists get together to pay tribute to fallen warthogs, then compete in a tactical gunnery and bombing competition called Hawgsmoke.  This of course, prompted The Husband to organize a group of people to drive to Salina, KS to watch the competition last week.  Knowing I desperately [...]

Zucchini Cakes

**not gluten free**

The air has finally decided to turn crisp for more than a few days in Kansas City.  Before it got too chilly to be anything but chili weather I grabbed some zucchinis and studied my To-Do list.  About the only way I can get The Husband to eat zucchini is to [...]

Barefoot! Cream of Not-Mushroom Soup

This week’s Barefoot Blogger recipe was chosen by Chelle of Brown Eyed Baker.  Chelle also participates in Operation Baking GALS, which means she’s cool with me.  As much as I wanted to like everything about her, I just couldn’t do this week’s challenge. Instead, I racked my brain with The Lovely Co-Worker to make [...]

Sick of it.

I wrote a rant about the election last night, but I just erased it all.  I’m just sick of it.  I’m sick of a bunch of the women in this country running around screaming, “Sarah Palin doesn’t speak for me!”  Kindly, shut up.  Sarah Palin never said she speaks for the women of the country, the media did.  However [...]

How do you like my new digs?

The Father-In-Law slaved and slaved making me into a little me on the good ‘ol puter… juggling the things I share with you, dear friends, on this site.  Of course, there’s a computer (a Mac!), an A-10, and a whisk!  Isn’t it cute!?!  The Father-In-Law is a genius at all things marketing and is a whiz in front of a [...]

Smiles from You

**not gluten free**

Have you ever known someone in your life that is the worst at accepting gifts or accolades from others?  I am so one of those people.  I get some kind of crazy thrill out of doing for others, giving and seeing the reaction… but for some reason I find it hard to accept gifts.

Favorite Ever

After a long day at work my favorite form of therapy is making delicious things to share with others.  Fortunately for me, cooking involves lots of chopping.  The Husband purchased a beautiful knife (nicknamed Butch) for me a few years ago that I will most likely take with me to my grave.  I love Butch so [...]

Barefoot! Panza-schetta

I walked into the house Tuesday evening after my jog to this…

“Crunch.  Crunch, crunch, crunch.”
“Honey?”
“Crun…hmm?”
“What are you eating?”
“ch… mmm… nuphen”
“Crunch.”
“Honnnney! What are you eating?”
“Ummm… a snack. Crunch, crunch, crunch.”
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 [...]
