Last week I promised you a grilled cheese sandwich… I had to delay it a few days. And, for that, I’m sorry! But, I hope it will be worth the wait! Lately I’ve been on a bit cheese kick. I think it’s because I got my fill of sweets around the holidays. It’s hard to…
The second week of January is here… In fact, it’s almost over! And, I’m still waiting for some snow. I’m one of those crazy people who really enjoys snow in the winter. I could go for a foot or two right about now. Instead, it’s just been kind of dreary and rainy here. All of the…
Frittatas are one of my favorites for quick and easy meals throughout the week. With all of the frittatas I’ve made over the years (lots and lots of them!), I have never thought to add fruit. Fortunately, my good friend Michelle over at What’s Cooking with Kids is a bit more creative than I am! In her new…
This week has been a busy one for me… I haven’t had a lot of unusual appointments on my schedule, but I’ve been trying to accomplish a lot. In addition to my usual cooking, baking, and writing, I’ve also been in the process of redesigning the site… Making changes to the site are also pretty time consuming for me. I have been known to stare at different fonts for 2 hours at a time and rearrange the same widgets 10 times because I can’t decide which layout looks best!
I loooove this soup!
That’s what I used to tell my mom when she made this soup for me when I was a kid… And, now that I’ve made it myself, I’m still raving about how much I love this soup!
I guess I should start at the beginning. Long before Lonely Island proclaimed their love for being on a boat, there were Bert and Ernie… You know who I’m talking about – from Sesame Street! Perhaps this clip will jog your memory a bit…
I watched quite a bit of Sesame Street in my day. So, when my mom made this carrot and potato soup for me when I was a kid, I would walk around letting everyone know how I felt about the soup, Ernie style. In fact, my mom has a handwritten note in her cookbook that says “Jenny LOVES this soup!” (Yes, I was known as Jenny back then, too… And, there may be a few people who still call me that.)
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…
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…
Last week many of you insisted that I should continue to write my Friday Favorites each week… Well, your wish is my command! I’m writing this edition of my Friday Favorites on Thursday night because I have a busy weekend coming up! I will fill you in on all the details in the next few…
I’m getting a late start on my Friday Favorites this week! Usually I try to pick my favorites and write my blog post on Thursday evening. I’m not a last-minute person! I was always the obnoxious kid in school who started researching a term paper the day it was assigned and had it written with a…
It’s rough being married to a food blogger… Just ask my husband. Honestly, though, he’s a really good sport when it comes to my food blog. He is willing to try just about anything I make, and rarely complains about things that don’t work out as planned. He also puts up with my constant photographing…
