Monday Night Football Burger

Hi friends. Happy Monday! Fortunately Elliott’s soccer practice was cancelled for tonight so that means we can get in our jammies early, light some candles and be in for the night to watch some Monday Night Football. Go Niners! Buffalo chicken wings are synonymous with football, no? Last night I made another Pinterest find ~ [...]

Wrinkled Tomatoes

Last Father’s Day we went to Los Feliz and had lunch at Umami Burger. I had a burger with slow-roasted tomatoes and I’ve been thinking about it ever since. {So Cal Burger ~ butter lettuce, slow-roasted tomato, house spread, house-made american cheese, caramelized onions} Roma tomatoes were a dime a dozen last week at Sprouts so [...]

Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken Sliders With Roasted Crookneck Squash

How’s that for an original title? I am so tired I can’t even think of a somewhat catchy name for this post…. I pinned these {surprise!} and knew that I would serve them in slider form because let’s face it, everything is cuter on a small bun. For the sliders I used about 1.5 pounds [...]

Meat & Potatoes ~ Must Be Father’s Day!

Jay wanted meat and potatoes for lunch and dinner yesterday, so that is what Jay got. We had a little hiccup along the way and discovered his first lunch choice, Irv’s Burgers, is closed on Sundays. So we decided on runner up, Umami Burger in Los Feliz. Fortunately we were seated immediately and got to [...]

Community Cheesecake

When I first spotted this scrumptious cheesecake, I knew it had to go on {the list}. Um, it has Keebler Fudge Striped cookies. As. The. Crust. Enough said… Would’ve probably made it sooner, but I didn’t have a spring form pan. But, I do NOW….and I DID make this cheesecake for our Valentine’s Day dessert. [...]

This N That Thursday

Well, Hello! How was your Thursday? I was able to run several errands in preparation for Valentine’s Day and Holden’s upcoming birthday next month. I found some super inexpensive treats for Elliott to give to her classmates for V-day: I swiped this image off eBay, so it’s teeny tiny, but I found some ornaments filled [...]

Un{brie}lievably Amazing

When we lived in San Diego {and before kiddos!} we’d go wine tasting in Temecula quite a bit. There was always one stop we had to make, but it wasn’t for the wine…it was for the sourdough baked brie at Maurice Car’rie Winery. Oh. My. Word. Amazing! Their wines are nothing to write home about, [...]

Weekend Rewind

Saturday was full of impromptu events… The Albertson’s down the hill was having an Easter egg hunt ~ the “golden egg” being a pass to Disneyland along with some other goodies for the little ones hidden inside certain eggs. Mr. Easter Bunny made a brief appearance which I was thrilled with because that saved me [...]

Everything’s Better With Ketchup

Tonight it was “low carb” night in the Aspiras household. Salmon cakes on greens and parmesan roasted asparagus. Super easy and kinda fancy for a Wednesday evening. I picked up some gorgeous asparagus on sale for 97¢/pound which is über cheap… I just chopped off the bottoms (about 2 inches), cut into thirds on the [...]
