I am looking forward to getting the gardens going, get walking and enjoying the sunshine, and BBQ'ing...lots of it!I had a great time last weekend at the scrapbooking weekend. I got 12 pages mostly finished. They…

Go Canada Go!

Go Canada Go! by Amanda @ Maritime Cowgirl

I don't know of many Canadians who aren't watching the gold medal game today. There is 3 minutes left in the 3rd period as I write. My friend Heddy was out and about town this afternoon and apparently it is a ghost town out there. Everyone is hunkered down to see who will come out on top.Before the game started, I made some cookies.…

Nanny Ruth's Hamburger Soup

Nanny Ruth's Hamburger Soup by Amanda @ Maritime Cowgirl

There is a cafe not far from my house that serves hamburger soup every Monday at lunch. I often stop in to enjoy some. My love for hamburger soup began in high school, at the high school cafeteria believe it or not. Those lunch ladies made a mean pot of hamburger soup!When I graduated high school, my grandmother gave me a hope chest…

Salsa, baby!

Salsa, baby! by Amanda @ Maritime Cowgirl

Thought I should make some munchies in case I decide to stay home tonight. UFC is tonight, and I am undecided if I should stay home or head to Boston Pizza. So just in case, I made Pioneer Woman's Restaurant Style Salsa. Ooohhh, is it ever good! I am not a big fan of chunky salsa, so this works just perfect for me. Good for those who…

Mmm Mmm Good!

Mmm Mmm Good! by Amanda @ Maritime Cowgirl

Last weekend and again tonight, I made Pioneer Woman's Cajun Chicken Pasta. Move over East Side Mario, there's a new girl in town! I love ESM's Pasta Amatriciana or however you say/spell it, you know what I mean. I don't usually try pasta at home as I find it most times bland. This pasta kicks it up three or four notches. It is…

The World's Best Dessert

The World's Best Dessert by Amanda @ Maritime Cowgirl

She makes a lot of delicious food. My favorite recipe of hers is Baked Fudge. It is the yummiest, richest, most indulgent chocolate dessert I have ever eaten. So on Saturday, I cooked up a batch.PW tops hers with some whipped cream. I made up a batch of Kahlua Fruit Dip too, so I topped my Baked Fudge with that. Only I ran out of…
