Salsa Verde

Cori | July 31, 2009

Today I think we need something fun to eat our nachos with. That Salsa Verde I put on our Tuesday Tacos was delish, so let’s make another batch. I don’t have avocado or green onions, but that’s alright; tastes great without them too! We’re all about making do with what’s on hand as long as [...]

Tacos Fresco by Cori Gillespie

Coming from Arizona, which has a lot of transplants from Mexico, Mexican food is just a way of life for us. I’m sure there are people who will tell me, “Oh, this isn’t REAL Mexican food. You should taste what we make in _________.” I’m not here to argue with anyone [...]

Homemade Bread, Something Cool to Drink, Etc.

Workin’ It

Cori | July 8, 2009

Time to check in and be accountable for my projects. Does anyone else feel like once you start a project, it has a life of it’s own and it anxiously awaits completion? I didn’t feel this until a couple of years ago when I was sorting and organizing the closet in our office/craft room. Suddenly [...]

Happy Pies

Cori | July 7, 2009

Hey! It’s nice to be back! Garret and I spent a week in Arizona for our youngest daughter’s wedding (more on that later), and there was just way too much going on to keep up the blog. I missed every last one of you, though, and I’m so happy to be back!
Tonight is our Cub [...]
