I’ve Got The Monday Blues For Comfort Food

September 9, 2013 By Meegan 10 Comments

Happy Monday Blues!!

Do you ever have one of those days, weeks, or months that everything goes a little haywire?  Life is going along just fine, and BAM!  Things change in a phone call or a Dr visit?  Yep, that is how this week was for me.  Our world got shaken up a little bit, but we are not knocked down.  It’s all good, and everything is going to be okay!  REALLY, it will.

With saying all of that-I’ve got the Monday Blues for some comfort food!  And I am thrilled to be sharing theses amazingly delish and comforting recipes with you.  They all look SO good to me, I could reach right through my computer screen and eat EVERY SINGLE ONE!!

Summer Veggie Skillet Meal

August 28, 2013 By Meegan 3 Comments

I enjoy Summer veggies don’t you?  That’s why I love this end of Summer Veggie Skillet Meal.  It is a great hit every time I make it.  No matter who I make for.  With the freshness of the Summer veggies and the melted cheese, who could resist, right?

This End of Summer Veggie Skillet Meal is a great “go-to” meal when you are at a loss for a dinner idea.  It’s quick, easy and, oh, so fresh.  Did I mention, fresh??  It has protein from the cheese and all the veggies you need for a healthy meal.

My Lemon Truffle Chocolate Cake

August 20, 2013 By Meegan 9 Comments

I want to say it must have been about 25 yrs ago, I was watching Martha, yes THE Martha Stewart. She made a lemon cake with chocolate frosting. It looked so delish and inspired me to make my lemon truffle chocolate cake.  Why do I call it a truffle cake?  Because the flavors remind me of a See’s Candy lemon truffle.

*This post was updated November 2025.

Have you had a lemon truffle from Sees candy? If not, this cake recipe will give a sample of the flavorful candy.

I have a fetish for empty frames.  I have them everywhere.  I really like the idea of the openness and the fact that I can hang anything on them with a simple painted clothes pin.

My coffee table was $10 at the thrift store.  She is one of my faves.  The tray was a thrift find for $3!!  I know!  I was SO excited!!

My kitchen shelves are always filled with thrift finds and/or shells because of my love of the ocean.

I found this shutter for 5 bucks and made her look old.  Not too shabby, huh?

I love using book pages to decorate.  Actually, you might say I have an obsession. (PS-the frame was brand new at the thrift store for $7!!-SCORE!)
