To those of you who have served in the military (or are family members, friends, and other supporters of the brave men and women in the military), I’d just like to say thanks! I know that it’s not much, but I do think it’s important that we take time to remember those who have sacrificed…

Croquembouche (Daring Bakers May)
The May 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Cat of Little Miss Cupcake. Cat challenged everyone to make a piece montée, or croquembouche, based on recipes from Peter Kump’s Baking School in Manhattan and Nick Malgieri. Pate a choux has been on my list of things to learn for quite a while… So, I…
Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Shells (Revisited)
This year we signed up for a large share from our CSA. We had a medium share last year, and it was plenty of food for my husband and I, but my goal this summer is to have extra fresh and local veggies so that I can freeze them for the winter and decrease what…
Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt
This summer I am determined to put my ice cream maker to good use. I re-discovered the ice cream maker a few weeks ago with my creamy mint chocolate chip ice cream, and I have been dreaming up all sorts of new frozen desserts ever since! Since Memorial Day is right around the corner, I…
And the winner of the shiny red grill is…
As promised, it’s time to announce the winner of my grill giveaway… Congratulations to Ngoc! Here’s Ngoc’s winning comment… Yummy looking burgers especially with the cheese ooh. I love grilled eggplant with Sriracha and soy sauce. Thanks for the giveaway! Thanks to all who entered the giveaway… And, a special thanks to Sam’s Club for…
Blueberry Corn Muffins
I go through breakfast stages. For a few weeks, I’ll be really into smoothies or yogurt or cereal, and then I get bored and move onto something else. Lately I’ve been in a muffin mood. I can’t really afford to have sugar-loaded cupcakes disguised as breakfast food every day for breakfast, though… Not if I…
Friday Favorites – Episode 55

Grilled Potatoes and Broccoli Packets
I find that I tend to only post the “special” recipes that I make here on my blog… When I make something simple and easy for dinner, I often think that it’s not “blog worthy” and skip over it. While I don’t think anyone wants to read about it every time I make grilled chicken…
Tabbouleh with Chickpeas and Artichokes
After reading all about everyone’s favorite foods for the grill, I have been feeling super inspired to head outside and do some grilling myself. Unfortunately, we’ve had a bit of a cold and rainy spell, and I haven’t had the energy to brave the weather and cook outside. So, even though I don’t have a fun…
Raspberry POM Walnut Vinaigrette
We’ve been eating a lot of salads lately. We had my parents over for dinner a few weeks ago, and my mom brought along a spinach, strawberry, and walnut salad. Both my husband and I loved it, and I’ve been making versions of it ever since. When I was contemplating what to do with the…
