This month’s challenge may have been a bit of a challenge for a lot of people. I’m not so sure that everyone enjoys pastry doughs and batters quite the way I do. That said, it turned out to be a bit of a challenge for me, as well. Though I had great plans of making homemade…
It’s that time of year again… Halloween! As I mentioned yesterday, I’m not a big Halloween person. It’s just not something that I usually get really into, and I really haven’t posted too many Halloween recipes. I don’t want to leave you in the dark searching for recipes, though, so I thought it would only…
Remember how I said I have been lacking cooking inspiration in the kitchen lately? It seems that my lack of inspiration has also extended itself to blogging. Do not fear… I go through these stages periodically. I find that the best way to get through it is to just push on through and keep writing. So, that’s exactly what I’m doing.
I have a funny thing about food textures. Many of the foods that I’m not too fond of are those that have a texture that I don’t like (mushy cereal, for example)… It has very little to do with the flavor. So, due to my hatred of mushy and soggy things, I have avoided egg and sausage casseroles for years. The thought of bread soaking in eggs and milk just didn’t sound appetizing to me.
A few weeks ago, though, I had some stale bread on hand and for some reason I was feeling especially brave. I decided to tackle the dreaded egg and sausage casserole since I know it is such a popular holiday dish (and I was also lacking cooking inspiration at the time). When all was said and done, it turned out to be pretty tasty. In fact, it was tasty enough that I made it again last week and even took the time to take a few pictures and keep track of the recipe.
With the holidays coming up (and since this month’s Kitchen Bootcamp theme is pastry doughs and batters), I thought I’d address a bit of a touchy subject for this week’s Works for Me Wednesday post… Pie Dough. I know that a lot of people are intimidated by pie crusts, though… I used to be, too. But,…
It’s Friday again, and fall is officially here. We’ve had a rather cool and dreary week this week, and I’m really not complaining. It’s been nice to pull out the sweaters, do some fall baking, and drink hot cider in the evenings! So, as you might have expected, a lot of this week’s favorites have a…
Ready for the weekend? I know that I am… This week has been a busy one and I’m looking forward to some time to relax. Perhaps I’ll even have time to try a few of these great recipes… I love this Turkey and Bean Chili from How To: Simplify… It is the perfect dish for…
I am well aware of the fact that fall doesn’t actually begin until later this month… In my house, though, fall started last weekend when we had some cool weather. I decided that it would be jumping the gun a bit to start putting out all of my fall decorations before Labor Day, so that…
Let me be honest here for a moment… Salads are not my favorite thing to eat. I suppose it’s possible that some people do really love salads, but I am not one of those people. Given the choice between a hamburger and a salad, I will choose the hamburger 95% of the time. My waistline…
You’re probably thinking that I’ve lost it… “What is she doing posting cranberry relish in February?!” Well, I’m posting my cranberry relish recipe because it’s a part of one of my favorite #10in10 breakfasts. You see, when I started the #10in10 challenge a few weeks ago, I still had some cranberry relish hanging out in…
As I mentioned in my #10in10 update post yesterday, last week ended up being pretty busy for me. I’ve mentioned before that I’m not a real big fan of cold food, especially in winter. So, for me, the usual lunch salads and sandwiches aren’t usually too appealing. Instead, when I’m busy, one of my go-to…
