KFC Coleslaw

In our family (mostly my husband's side) we have come to the conclusion that no homemade recipe can beat Kentucky Fried Chicken coleslaw. There is always heated discussion about making sure we pick up enough so no plate is left empty. {available}

Continental Breakfast

Last weekend on our short trip to Minnesota we had the joy of a continental breakfast at our hotel. That always sounds so fancy to me...but in the end it really is just a bunch of bread in different forms. I'm not complaining - donuts, danishes, bagels and muffins are all wonderful things...but they do all have the same origin. {available}

Apron

Aprons are so neat. I love antique shopping and coming across beautifully detailed aprons that have seen their share of great kitchen events. I also have a wonderful apron that I found at a local craft fair, but this apron has not found its way to the kitchen. It only appears when I'm painting images of food. {available}

Grilled Burger

I'm not a big meat eater, but I do love anything grilled...especially burgers. Of course, I must top it off with as many things as possible.

Cucumbers

Last week I learned that cucumbers are 95% water and have very little nutritional value. It seems any food I love brings no benefits.

Iced Tea

Last year I attended a conference and witnessed someone brewing tea bags in hot water, then adding ice to it. I'm easily amused and excited by the opportunity to have a free sweet treat. Now I keep many flavors of tea in my work desk ready to pull out on a whim...with the ice machine close by. {available}

String Cheese

This past weekend we visited family in Minnesota. When family gathers, snacks pop out in mass. One treat was string cheese. My childhood friends always had this in their lunches, but it was too expensive to include in ours. Pulling those long strands is definitely a special treat for me.

Mint Brownies

Our resident office baker once again made treats on St. Patrick's Day...mint brownies. She cuts them into small squares because of their richness. A grand tiny-bit-green treat. {thanks Val!}

Pear on a Chair

This illustration is inspired by one of my larger paintings. Its been a busy week for me, so more pears it is.

Hot Fudge Sundae

Our family went out to eat last Friday and enjoyed the $1.75 hot fudge sundae on the children's menu. Luckily for me my son doesn't like hot fudge or whipped cream.
