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…
When I think about Valentine’s Day, I immediately think of dessert. So, since Valentine’s Day is on Monday, I thought I’d take this opportunity to share a few of my favorite desserts from the past week. If you’re on a diet, I recommend that you stop reading now… These desserts are irresistible!
With the Super Bowl this weekend, it only seemed appropriate that I should share some game day, snack worthy recipes as a part of this week’s Friday Favorites. Some of these are “traditional” football food, while others are not… Either way, I’m sure they’ll be a big hit at your Super Bowl party!
Another month of Kitchen Bootcamp has come to a close. This month’s challenge was to make soup… What could be better for the month of January?
Though I haven’t posted them all, I’ve actually made quite a few soups this month. We’ve had some cold and snowy weather (though, not as much snow as I know many of you have had), so there have been many nights where I just craved some soup.
It’s Friday! Are you ready to celebrate? I always enjoy writing my Friday Favorites post each week… It’s a fun way for me to wrap up the week and also share some of the blog posts that are making me smile (and making me hungry!). This week is no different! With the Super Bowl and Valentines Day…
I have hosted Thanksgiving dinner at my house for the past couple years. This time around, I have the year off. Yellowdog (our yellow lab, in case you were wondering) has to remain “calm” and is not allowed to play with kids, other dogs, and relatives for the next few months until she has fully recovered from her knee surgery. So, that pretty much means that there will be no big get togethers at my house for a few months, either.
That doesn’t mean I won’t be cooking, though! I plan to make a side dish or two, and of course I’ll be taking some sort of dessert. I will also be traveling with my handy dandy meat thermometer, which I believe is the key to a perfect Thanksgiving turkey. Whether it’s my kitchen or my mom’s, there’s no better place to be on Thanksgiving day!
Last week was one of those busy weeks where we had to be somewhere every night of the week. Some people enjoy being busy like that, but I am not one of those people. This week, I was happy to have a bit of down time to get some things done around the house, in the…
Since I chose sandwiches for this month’s Kitchen Bootcamp challenge (against my better judgment, perhaps), I have been forcing myself to attempt some new sandwich recipes, even though I’m not much of a sandwich person. So, as promised, today I am sharing my second sandwich recipe. One of the sandwiches that I love, but rarely make…
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…
It’s Friday again, which can only mean one thing… Well, maybe a few things. You may be looking forward to the weekend and the big plans you have, but I was talking about my Friday Favorites! Sure, that might not be quite as excited as what you had in mind, but checking out these blog…
