Ten minutes AND delicious?? No lie. Unless, you forget to buy black beans, at the store, like I did. Then it takes more like and hour and a half. So, I first had this black bean soup while on a big multi-family vacation at Fish Lake. All the ladies take turns being in charge of…
Okay, so this is no sort of genius recipe, just more of an idea. An idea with a few of the best things in the world. Hello, bacon. These make an easy and delicious lunch…if you do things the easy way. Butter one side of your tortillas. Place one, butter side down, in a fry…
I haven’t quite caught the IKEA bug, yet. I know, I’m crazy…from what I hear. However, I’ve only been there one time, for about 15 minutes, and I was with the husband. Shopping with the man is one of my least favorite things to do. I don’t know why. Dan is totally sweet, but I…
It doesn’t matter how much milk or bread I buy, I swear, in 5 days…we’re out. And, I can’t bring myself to go grocery shopping more than once a week…so, at least 2 days a week…we’re scavengers. Trying to figure out what we can eat that doesn’t include milk or bread. That’s hard with little…
You already know of my love for Southern food, so when I saw Rachael Ray’s recipe for Chicken and Dumplings that got fan-tas-tic reviews, I knew I had to have it in my belly. And so it went, into my mouth, down my esophagus, right to my belly. It felt good. Warm and comforting, just…

I’ve been on a meatball-kick, lately. Did you see those meatballs in the Slobber-Fest on Sunday? Yum! So, while browsing Our Best Bite’s cookbook, I stumbled on these Sweet and Sour Meatballs. I knew I needed them in my belly. The recipe has instructions for both the meatballs and the sauce. But, since I was…
Hi! I’m Allison Gryski, a Canadian expat living in Amsterdam. I like to describe myself as a bookish artist, exuberant baker, usability snob, discerning gourmandise, and occasional freelance dragon seeker. I also like travel, thrift store bargains, bicycles, and afternoon naps. You can find my blog at: http://allison.gryski.com Making fresh pasta is something fun to…
Caden has really been wanting me to share this recipe for Copycat White Castle Burgers. All of my kids love them and they’re really, really easy. He was tempted to make this when he went on Fresh Living, but then we decided on something with more veggies in it, Taco Bowls. Anyway, we don’t have…
If there’s one thing I don’t get enough of, it’s Chinese food. Dan never wants it…so, I usually have to wait until my birthday, Mother’s Day, Christmas, and all of those other special times that give me leverage to get what I want….and, I want Chinese food. I super-love ABC Mandarin in Roy, it’s my…
Yesterday was such a fun day for my little Caden. Fresh Living, on channel 2, invited him to come share one of his recipes. Who knew that being a picky eater could get you on tv?? Let’s keep that under wraps. Several of his favorites have been shared on this blog, already…Hamburger Gravy, Buffalo Chicken…
Like I talked about on Fresh Living, and in a previous post…my 9 year old son, Caden, is working on a cookbook. Why??? Because, he’s insanely picky and this project has really been pushing him to try new things. Anyway, the producers of Fresh Living have invited him to come on the show with me…
