My new camera arrived yesterday, and after taking countless pictures of the dog and a bunch of bananas sitting on my counter top, I decided it was time to bake something so I would have something to take pictures of. I had a bunch of cherries in the refrigerator, so initially I was going to…
Happy Friday, everyone! I am having difficulty focusing today because my new DSLR (Canon 50D) is scheduled to be delivered today! According to the UPS site, it was put on the truck for delivery at 7:08am this morning. I am really excited to finally have an SLR again. I took photography in high school and used…
Last week, I came across Natalie’s Pre-Made Our Way challenge at Oven Love. I am a big fan of making things from scratch, so I was immediately interested in participating in the challenges. Fortunately for me, Natalie extended the May challenge until Sunday (May 30th) so I was able to squeeze in my blog post…
It’s hard to believe that Memorial Day weekend is already over! I had a busy weekend and didn’t have much time for blogging. On Sunday, we went to a picnic at my grandmother’s house. I had offered to make burgers and a pasta salad. I wasn’t really in the mood for the usual pasta salads. I love caprese…
In an effort to get this week’s Friday Favorites done on time (in contrast to the past two weeks), I am writing this blog post on Thursday evening. You will be reading it on Friday, though. That is the beauty of technology and the ability to schedule posts ahead of time! If only I was…
As I mentioned in my previous post, last night I made breakfast for dinner. To accompany my ham and asparagus frittata, I made some whole wheat cinnamon rolls. These cinnamon rolls are also adapted from a recipe from my Cooking Light cookbook. The first time I made the rolls, I followed the recipe as it…
This evening I decided to make breakfast for dinner. Earlier in the week, I was paging through my Cooking Light cookbook, and I came across a recipe for a Ham and Asparagus Frittata. I already had both ham and asparagus in the refrigerator, so I decided to give it a try. Originally, I didn’t really…
Whenever my husband and I are in Boston, we eat at Giacomo’s Restaurant – a great little Italian place on Hanover Street in the North End. When we are there, I usually order the butternut squash ravioli. It is served in a cream sauce with asparagus and prosciutto. The flavors in the pasta dish were…
I love fish and chips… and I have been craving it for a while now. So, last week, I decided to make some baked fish and chips. Instead of frying everything, I breaded and baked the fish and made some oven fries to serve with it. Both the fish and the fries turned out wonderfully –…
I originally wrote this post last evening, trying to sneak it in in the few minutes before it turned to Saturday. However, my site went down right as I went to publish it. That will teach me to leave my Friday Favorites to the last minute! For the second week in a row, I am…
