It’s that time again… Time to showcase everyone’s hard work for this month’s Kitchen Bootcamp challenge! I am so thrilled that so many of you took the time to participate and cook along side of me, especially because I rushed this challenge a bit to get it in by the end of the month. It’s so…

Friday Favorites – Episode 60
Before I get into my favorite posts of the week, I wanted to give one last friendly reminder about the Kitchen Bootcamp challenge for July… Today is the last day to submit your salads and dressings. I will be posting the roundup tomorrow! Now that my little reminder is out of the way, let’s talk…
Plum Jam
Ever since I got a taste of canning with the Bread and Butter Pickles I made a few weeks ago, I really can’t get enough. Previously I had always assumed that canning wasn’t for me… It seemed hot, messy, and like more work than it was worth. Though it can be a bit warm in…
Mexican Chicken Corn Lasagna
When I’m dreaming up my menu for the week, I will often ask my husband if he has any dinner requests for the week. Last week when I asked, he said “something Mexican with meat.” I think he was thinking of my Beef Enchiladas (pardon the awful picture… that recipe’s on my remake list), which…
Lemon Verbena Infused Ricotta Ice Cream (Daring Bakers July)
The July 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Sunita of Sunita’s world – life and food. Sunita challenged everyone to make an ice-cream filled Swiss roll that’s then used to make a bombe with hot fudge. Her recipe is based on an ice cream cake recipe from Taste of Home. If you read the…

In the meantime, I thought I’d…

Brown Sugar Kettle Corn
Lately I feel like I’m constantly apologizing for how busy I am and the fact that I’m posting “simple” recipes. I have plans for some more “sophisticated” recipes in the next week or so, but I’ve been finding it hard to get around to preparing and photographing them. Work has picked up a bit for…
Blueberry Peach Coffee Cake
This recipe began last week when we were having a friend over for dinner. I had my hands full in the kitchen and was searching for a quick dessert that I could throw together with little effort. As I paged through the Pioneer Woman Cookbook, I came across her cobbler recipe that consisted of a…
Vanilla Almond Biscotti
I’ve had a few guest bloggers drop by this summer to share some of their favorite recipes with you. And, I think it’s only fair that I also drop by their blogs to return the favor! Plus, sometimes I find it refreshing to write a guest post because it forces me to take a step…
