smores!
Originally uploaded by All Things Mimi
After we grilled some pork chops the other night, I had a craving for a smore.

Dev and I have become really spoiled when it comes to ice cream. Sometime last year I purchased a cheap countertop ice cream maker. You know, the kind you have [...]

So this is what tonight’s dinner looked like…very basic…very satisfying…very fly by the seat of my pants.
Dinner was the byproduct of a strange state of affairs in my kitchen.
Under normal circumstances, I’ll sit down at some point during the weekend and map out what I want to have for [...]
