I have to admit that I had a particular section of the world in mind when I picked World Cuisines as this month’s Kitchen Bootcamp challenge.  Though I love to eat it, I have a really difficult time preparing Asian dishes.  In fact, my husband and I were discussing that just the other day as…

I know a lot of people are cutting back on meat lately for a variety of reasons.  We have significantly cut back on the amount of eat we eat in our house, as well. I feel like eating a more vegetarian, and sometimes vegan, diet is much healthier than the meat heavy diet we used…

Friday has rolled around yet again! So, naturally, it’s time for me to share my Friday Favorites… Before we jump right into the blog posts, though, I want to introduce a few new features that I’ll be including in each week’s favorites post.  Instead of just my favorite blog posts, I thought I’d start talking…

Multigrain Sourdough Pizza Crust

We have pizza just about every week at our house. The dough is easy to make from scratch, and I love mixing it up with lots of different flavors and toppings. I could probably eat pizza every day, but I limit myself to about once a week. I ran out of my favorite flour for…

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of LÄRABAR for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. The next few weeks are going to be a bit crazy for me.  We’ve been meaning to get carpet in the upstairs of our house for a few years, and we’ve finally decided to just go…

Though I’m ready for spring, the weather hasn’t quite caught up with me.  The transition from winter to spring can be a slow one… Especially around here! Though my tastebuds are ready for the flavors of spring and summer, it’s still quite early for fresh, local produce.  So, my transition from winter foods to spring foods…

There’s no need to check your calendar… Fasnacht Day isn’t here quite yet. I had planned to post these doughnuts on Tuesday for Fasnacht Day, but then I realized that you might actually want to make them for Fasnacht Day, so I decided to post them a bit early to give you the chance. Growing…

Friday Favorites – Episode 83

I try to mix it up and feature different blogs each week, but sometimes I find myself going back to the same ones. Do you ever find that you go through phases where you will love every single thing on a particular blog for a while, and then you move on to a new favorite…

Coconut Banana Bread

It seems that no matter how often I make banana bread, we always seem to have a few brown bananas hanging out on the kitchen counter. Sometimes I put them in the freezer for later, but then I end up with a giant collection of frozen black bananas in my freezer. Don’t get me wrong, I…

Around this time of year, I always seem to go through a bit of a cooking slump.  I get sick of all of the heavy winter dishes, but I can’t seem to come up with anything new and fresh to put on my weekly menu. I tend to just draw a blank, and I end…
