Small Gatherings|May 2015|Smoked Pulled Pork Sliders
For this month’s small gathering we hosted family and friends for some good ‘ole Kansas City Bar-B-Que, smoked pork sliders and ribs. Dave is the official griller/smoker in this house but on this particular day he had an obligation away from the house for several hours. If you have ever smoked meat you understand thatContinue reading “Small Gatherings|May 2015|Smoked Pulled Pork Sliders”
Small Gatherings | July | 1st Birthday Party Brunch | Egg Muffin Recipe
My daughter and grandson were visiting from Houston this past week and since Levi recently celebrated his first birthday we decided to throw a small party so we could celebrate with him. We did not want to interfere with naptime so we thought a brunch would be the perfect time to party. I had recentlyContinue reading “Small Gatherings | July | 1st Birthday Party Brunch | Egg Muffin Recipe”
Small Gatherings|June|Light Dinner Al Fresco
After work last night I had several errands to run and Dave needed to do some work in the yard. We decided to get those things done then have a late dinner. By the time we both had completed, it was close to 7:00 pm and still pushing 90 degrees. The last thing I feltContinue reading “Small Gatherings|June|Light Dinner Al Fresco”

Sunday morning we are packing up our youngest daughter and moving her to Denver. She will finish her last internship rotation this summer and take the Registered Dietitian’s exam this fall.

Small Gatherings|April|Brunch|Cinnamon Rolls
Last Sunday was stormy, cloudy and the perfect day to stay in and host a brunch for friends. We started with a fun Bloody Mary Bar that included the usual vodka and Zing Zang. For the adventuresome who preferred to build their own we added tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and pepper. Toppings includedContinue reading “Small Gatherings|April|Brunch|Cinnamon Rolls”
Tea Time
Our small town boasts one of Missouri’s top rated Tearooms as ranked by Teamap.com. It is actually the only tearoom I have ever visited but based on my experiences here I would love to visit others. It is located on the lower level of Henry’s Antiques and Collectibles, both of which are housed in aContinue reading “Tea Time”
Small Gatherings| February Valentine’s Dinner
I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day. We celebrated with a small dinner party and in spite of my crazy work week thwarting the preparations, I think we all enjoyed the evening. This was our first gathering in our newly reclaimed dining room (more on that later) and although it is not completelyContinue reading “Small Gatherings| February Valentine’s Dinner”
Bits and Pieces – Christmas Edition
I worked at a feverish pace this past week both for my day job and in trying to get ready for Christmas. As an accountant/systems analyst/project manager this time of year is crazy insane. Not only do I have two projects being implemented in the next two weeks, but I am also preparing the systemContinue reading “Bits and Pieces – Christmas Edition”
Thanksgiving
Our holidays start today with a Thanksgiving dinner/birthday celebration for Dave’s side of the family. That is quickly followed by a family reunion for my side of the family lasting several days. I am so excited to see our Seattle, California and Houston family, although pretty sure those warm blooded folk are going to freeze……IContinue reading “Thanksgiving”
