Halibut Anyone Would Love

Day 1 100 lbs (Large) — Eric's 100 pound fish. Biggest One!!

My Mother-in-law saw this recipe and said something to the effect of “You could put these ingredients on dog poo and it would taste great!” Um… she’s right. But it is even better on Halibut.

We found this recipe in a book sold in Homer, Alaska. It is AMAZING. My favorite thing I’ve ever made:

Ingredients:

4 (1-inch) thick halibut fillets
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1 stick butter
1/2 c sour cream
1/2 c mayo
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Dash of Dill Weed

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place halibut fillets on bottome of a 9×13 greased casserole dish.
Blend other ingredients. Spread over fillets.
Bake for 25-20 minutes until fish flakes.

My husband and his father go there fishing every once in a while. They have a friend who lives there and owns a boat.

Here are some more shots of their trip up north:

Valentine's Day snack mix by a white bowl

There is something about this time year that makes me hungry for a good snack mix. Maybe it’s the dull, grey weather. And, the fact that what I would really like to do is stay in my pajamas, on the couch with a good book or movie, and eat snack mix ALL day Long! With tea. Or better yet—wine. Wine goes with snack mix, doesn’t it? I really just love all the different flavors, textures, colors, and the fact that I can almost make a healthy meal out of this stuff. Protein —you betcha. Whole grains—of course! Fruit—yes. M&Ms—they are...

Dear Son, Our Work Together Isn’t Done Yet

In: Kids, Kitchen, Motherhood, Teen, Tween

I woke up early to come wake you up. Even though you don’t need me to. Even though you’re capable of waking up on your own to your own alarm clock in your own room. Every day you become more independent and every day I’m wondering what my role is in your life. My motherhood job description keeps changing and I’m doing my best to keep up and change accordingly. So I woke up to wake you up so we could spend some early morning moments as just the two of us, the way it used to be before all...

The Mexican Brownie Disaster (Recipe Inside!)

In: Kitchen, Recipe Journal

Even as a teenage I remember browsing through my mom’s cookbooks, marking recipes that piqued my interest, but rarely seeing any through to fruition. In part, this was due to my mother’s love-hate relationship with the kitchen. Love because she believed strongly in family dinnertime and was happy to open our home and table to guests. Hate because she didn’t actually enjoy cooking and certainly wasn’t looking for opportunities to mix, chop, roast, or blend more than absolutely necessary. Market Day Chicken Stir Fry was a go-to and family favorite. I, on the other hand, thought it might be exciting...

Organize Your Pantry in 10 Easy Steps

In: Kitchen, Style

Having an unorganized pantry was causing me stress. Every time I opened it, it bothered me. And, if your household is anything like mine, the door to the pantry gets opened A LOT, everyday! There was no better time than after the holidays and the start of a new year: I was going to get it organized, no matter what. I assessed the project for quite some time, researching, and shopping, but I didn’t want it to look mismatched and like I had just thrown things together. I wanted it legit, organized like a pro. We don’t have a very...

I Used to Want to Change the World. Now I Just Want a Cookie.

In: Health, Healthy Living, Kitchen

I’m on the seventh day of a month-long highly restrictive diet to try to deal with some health issues I’ve been having. I want to get that information out of the way up front, just in case this post comes across a little “hangry.” As I’ve been dealing with cutting things from my diet and adding in new things to try to figure out why I’m having my current health issues, it has occurred to me how much time I’ve had to spend thinking about food that I used to spend being productive. It’s not just the actual food prep...

If We Can’t Have Jack Back from ‘This is Us’ At least We Can Put His Face on Our Crock-Pots

In: Humor, Kitchen

Business owners are smart. Especially Etsy shop owners who see an opportunity—like capitalizing on the latest American obsession. So here it is. For “This is Us” fans (hahaha—like there are people out there who AREN’T “This is Us” fans), Etsy shops are now offering Crock-Pot decals of phrases like “Unplug Me, Jack” and also images of his beautiful face. This is how we can bring him back, girls. And also keep our Crock-Pots. Kidding! Crock-Pot was very quick to defend their product after America’s sobfest 2018, saying in a statement: Crock-Pot understands the concerns brought up by last night’s episode...

Creamy Chicken and Rice Soup

In: Featured, Kitchen

Written By: Rachel Gnagy @ Inscribed Photography & Design (recipe originally from here) One of my favorite ‘girly’ meals to make is soup served in bread bowls. I love getting the Broccoli Cheese soup at Quizno’s (it’s healthy because it has broccoli, right?) and Panera’s Cream of Chicken & Wild Rice soup. YUM. So when I saw a recipe on Pinterest for creamy chicken and rice soup, I thought I would give it a try! You will need: 1 Tablespoon of olive oil 2-3 carrots, sliced 2 cloves of garlic, minced 5 cups of chicken stock 1 cup of cooked chicken,...
