Greek “Style” Meat Loaf Dinner

This is quick and easy way to shake up “meat loaf night” a bit. I call it a Greek Style meat loaf because the seasonings used gives the meat loaf a Gyro-esque taste. And it’s mine, so I can call it what I want. 🙂 I paired it with a couple of greek side dishes […]

“Dark Delight” Sandwich – Gregor’s Pub

I’ve used a different spread and changed some of the ingredients, but at it’s heart it’s a “Deb’s on Black.” Simple but oh so tasty. Enjoy. Shopping list – for a couple of […]

Tasting the Wind

Before I start, let me preface this by saying this past weekend I decided to eschew all things high-tech. No laptop. No email over my phone. No text messaging. Not sure what prompted that, but there you go. Friday: Took off early and went on a ride. It was so nice out, the smell of […]

Potato Soup for the Soul

Potato soup. Man, nothing takes me back to my childhood more than a good bowl of potato soup. I remember being like 12 or so, sledding all day and then entering my grandmother’s house and the smell…oh lord the smell. It enveloped you like a warm blanket. As I got older, I paid more attention […]
