I wait all year for the fall. I know it sounds a bit crazy, but it’s my favorite time of the year. I love the flavors, the weather, and the fact that the holidays are right around the corner! Of all of the fall foods, I think pumpkin is my favorite. Unfortunately, my husband doesn’t…

Join Me In Jennie’s Kitchen!
I mentioned a few weeks ago that I had a few things in the works, and by now, you already know that one of them was a trip to New York City. Now, it’s time for me to reveal the second! You will now see my writing and photography on In Jennie’s Kitchen on a…
Caramelized Onion Burgers
What could be more delicious than caramelized onions? Caramelized onion burgers, of course. Sometimes I just get hungry for a nice juicy burger for dinner. I think one of the reasons that I like burgers so much is that they are a blank canvas. This time around, my inspiration was caramelized onions. I love the flavor…
My First Puff Pastry (Daring Bakers September)
The September 2009 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Steph of A Whisk and a Spoon. She chose the French treat, Vols-au-Vent based on the Puff Pastry recipe by Michel Richard from the cookbook Baking With Julia by Dorie Greenspan. Puff pastry is why I joined the Daring Bakers. I was ecstatic when I saw…
Friday Favorites NYC Edition (Episode 27)
I am now home after my quick trip to New York City attending an event for the Euro-Pro’s Ninja Master Prep (my first all-expense paid blogger event!). I was in the city for less than 24 hours, arriving by train late Wednesday night (actually, it was early Thursday morning by the time we arrived) and…
Quick Balsamic Vinaigrette
By the time you are reading this, I will be living it up in New York City! Yes, you heard me correctly… I will be at the Euro-Pro launch of the Ninja Master Prep! I will be rubbing elbows with Robin Miller and learning all sorts of new things to share with you when I…
Roasted Eggplant and Zucchini Lasagna Rolls with Pumpkin Bechamel
When life hands you eggplant, make lasagna rolls! We have gotten lots of eggplant from our CSA this summer. I don’t hate eggplant, but it’s not exactly my favorite food, either. I have made quite a few pasta dishes, casseroles, and quesadillas, but this week I wanted something different. I have made spinach lasagna rolls…
Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls
I have recently made it my mission to learn to bake bread. My mom is a fantastic baker, and I grew up eating homemade bread. Until recently, though, I was terrified of anything that required kneading. I made pizza dough from time to time, but I always used my Kitchen Aid mixer to do the…
Simple Tilapia with Zucchini and Tomato Saute
I love to cook, but there is something about Sunday afternoon that just sucks the energy out of me and makes me want to order pizza. After a busy day on Saturday and singing in church on Sunday morning, I am usually ready to take a nap while the hubs watches football (unless the Ravens…
Friday Favorites – Episode 26
I’m getting a late start on my Friday Favorites this week! Usually I try to pick my favorites and write my blog post on Thursday evening. I’m not a last-minute person! I was always the obnoxious kid in school who started researching a term paper the day it was assigned and had it written with a…
