The word on the street is that a hurricane is headed for the East coast… Just a few days after an earthquake! It’s crazy out there! So, if you’re rained in this weekend, why not spend some time in the kitchen? Here are a few recipes to get you started… I cannot wait to make…
If you ask me, summer just isn’t the same without some fresh pesto… You can’t beat a fresh piece of crusty sourdough bread slathered with some pesto. I could eat that for dinner… And, I think I have on a few summer evenings! We all love basil pesto… It’s a classic. But, there’s no reason…
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…
I don’t make a lot of “regular” dinners…
I try not to make too much “blog only” food during the week, so the majority of what you see here on the site is what we’re eating. As a result, I don’t tend to make the same thing too frequently… And, I often opt for new recipes and flavor combinations.
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!
When I announced the November/December Kitchen Bootcamp challenge, I had grandiose plans for all of the lovely appetizers I would make. The holidays seemed like a wonderful time for me to finally embrace the concept of appetizers and come up with a few of my own. But, as it often does, life just got in the way.
I love to order appetizers at a restaurant, but when it comes to making them myself, I usually just can’t be bothered. I’m more of a cheese and crackers person. So, even though it sounded like a lot of fun to develop new appetizers during the holidays, when things got busy, they went right back to the bottom of my priority list. I would just much rather spend time on a fancy dessert or the main dish than worry about appetizers.
My husband and I have really cut back on the amount of meat that we eat, and we eat our share of meatless meals each week. I don’t know about you, but I find it much easier to eat vegetarian in the summer when I have a lot of fresh vegetables at my disposal. Between…
If you read my piece on baking with butter over at In Jennie’s Kitchen a few months ago, you already know that I am a big fan of Michael Ruhlman’s book Ratio. It has definitely freed me from always being tied to a recipe or cookbook. That’s not to say that I never follow a…
This is another dish that I wasn’t too sure about as I formed the recipe in my head… I’m really not much of a greens person in general. Lettuce, spinach, arugula, kale, chard, collards… You name it, I will probably turn my nose up at it. I do eat them all, but given the choice…
