How about Cheeseburgers for your next Taco Tuesday?  All the flavors you love in a cheeseburger, seasoned with taco seasoning and stuffed into a soft flour shell.

Crab Sushi Bowl #SundayFunday

I love sushi, but I think all that rolling and making it look gorgeous is a lot of work.  So I tend to make sushi bowls at home and enjoy the art when dining out.  All the same great flavors without all the work.

Suffering disappointment, Looking on the Bright Side and Creating the Weekly Menu......

We were supposed to leave this morning for a trip to Cabo San Lucas.  Mother Nature had other plans.  Three large Category 5 storms are in the Pacific, heading towards land, right where we were supposed to vacation.

We are, of course, very disappointed.  We also consider ourselves lucky that we got full refunds and can reschedule the trip for another time.

White Bean and Grilled Octopus Salad #MoviesandMunchies

Our Movies and Munchies selection for this month is Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, hosted by Camilla of Culinary Cam.  The movie has a sequel, and we can choose which one to watch.  Or we could watch both.  I had never watched either of them, nor had I read the book they were based on, so I chose the original movie.

Banana Daiquiri #SundayFunday

 We are still enjoying warm weather here in Michigan, and we are heading to Cabo in a few days, so I am dreaming of cocktails poolside.  This Banana Daiquiri is the perfect Indian Summer cocktail.

Chicken and Corn Chowder starting with Leftovers

This hearty, filling chowder, made with leftover rotisserie chicken and leftover corn on the cob, is a perfect way to welcome the fall weather as it finally makes its way into Michigan.

Apple Crumble Muffins and the Weekly Menu #FallFlavors

These delicious, tender muffins are perfect for breakfast at home, as a grab-and-go meal on your way out the door, or as a snack in your lunchbox.  Studded with fresh apples and covered in a cinnamon crumble, you might want to grab two.

Strawberry Shortcake and Cheesecake collide in this delicious and easy dessert.

S is for Strawberries........

Fig Salad #FallFlavors

 I love fresh figs.  Maybe they are special to me because they are only available for a few weeks each year, and I live in Michigan, where we don't grow figs.  True, I enjoy fig jam, fig newtons, and dried figs year-round, but I'm always excited when I find fresh ones at the market and eagerly pay a small fortune to bring home a case.

Today is the second day of Fall Flavors Week........

Sweet and Sour Chicken Meatballs #FallFlavors

Chicken Meatballs warmed in a homemade sweet-and-sour sauce studded with fresh bell peppers, served over a brown rice-quinoa blend for a perfect, quick, and easy fall dinner as the kids head back to school.

We are celebrating the Flavors of Fall this week..........

Thai Chicken Pasta Salad #SundayFunday

This colorful salad is tossed in a creamy, sweet, salty, spicy dressing.  It makes a perfect weeknight meal, takes less than 30 minutes to make, and the leftovers are perfect for packing for school or work lunches.

Dreaming of Fall in Piedmont and the Weekly Menu #ItalianFWT

We are celebrating Fall in Italy this month, and I have chosen to focus on Piedmont, Northern Italy, with a Ragu di Salsiccia and a bottle of Barbera d'Alba Superiore from Josetta Saffirio.

French Canadian Meatball Stew #EattheWorld

Tender, lightly spiced pork meatballs and potatoes in a savory, toasted-flour gravy, known in Quebec as Ragu de Boulettes, are a traditional French-Canadian dish.

This is the 100th month of our Eat the World challenge, and we thought we would celebrate by choosing a dish from our country of heritage instead of cooking from the same country as usual.

Sourdough Bagel Bites #BreadBakers

These Bagel Bites, made with sourdough starter, make a wonderful grab-and-go breakfast. I served them with garlic and Herb cheese as a snack.  They were a wonderful way to start a visit with friends.

The Bread Bakers are making Bagels today.......

Sourdough Corn Fritters #SundayFunday

These fritters, made with sourdough batter filled with fresh corn, minced jalapeno, a little scallion, and a bit of red bell pepper, are a delicious, seasonal treat, especially when drizzled with a little hot honey.

RV Life-2026 Edition-Cadillac, Michigan and the Weekly Menu

We planned this trip around a Rod Stewart Concert that we were supposed to attend yesterday at Soaring Eagle Casino in Mount Pleasant, Michigan.  Unfortunately, Rod Stewart needed some heart stents.  He is doing fine but had to cancel his upcoming concerts.

We stuck with our plan to camp at Cadillac Woods for a couple of days before the concert.  I'm so glad we did.  Here's a recap.

R is for Radish

This delicious dish combines fresh Leaf Lettuce, Grilled Radishes, and Ginger-Marinated Chicken Breasts in a Miso Dressing.  It makes an amazing meal.

Suffocated Eggplants and Scrambled Eggs and the Next Two Georgiana Germaine Novels

Reading these novels featuring Georgiana "Gigi" Germaine by Cheryl Bradshaw is like watching a television series.
