I love to bake all year long, but I think I enjoy it the most in the fall. This week’s selections for my Friday Favorites certainly reflect that. I had good intentions of choosing a few savory recipes, but there were just so many sweet ones that grabbed my eye. I’m hoping you’ll love them as much as…
It’s Friday, Friday… Am I the only one who feels the need to walk around the house singing that horrid song every week when Friday rolls around? I’m really trying to stop, but that’s easier said than done. Fun, fun, fun, fun… I have to admit that I’ve gotten pretty far behind with my RSS…
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…
The February 2011 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Mallory from A Sofa in the Kitchen. She chose to challenge everyone to make Panna Cotta from a Giada De Laurentiis recipe and Nestle Florentine Cookies. I had fun with this month’s Daring Bakers challenge. I love panna cotta, but I don’t make it nearly enough. It’s…
I made this cranberry apple butter a few weeks ago, but it’s taken me a while to get around to posting it. I suppose that’s just as well, though, because it makes a great holiday recipe. I stretch cranberry season out as long as I possibly can. I start cooking and baking with cranberries the…
I have professed my love of the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte many times. I love all things about autumn, and I wait all summer for the first cool day when I need to wear a jacket. So, when the first pumpkin spice lattes grace the menu at my local Starbucks, I’m there. As much as I…
You may remember that I picked 20 pounds of peaches last weekend. Yes, it may have been a bit excessive on my part, but deep down, I enjoy a bit of excessiveness in the kitchen… Especially when it comes to fresh, local produce! I knew that if I picked 20 pounds of peaches, I would…
It’s that time again… Time to showcase everyone’s hard work for this month’s Kitchen Bootcamp challenge! I am so thrilled that so many of you took the time to participate and cook along side of me, especially because I rushed this challenge a bit to get it in by the end of the month. It’s so…
My hubby and I often go out for lunch on Sunday when we’re on our way home from church. Last week we both ended up ordering salads… He ordered a mandarin chicken salad and I had a sesame “chop chop” chicken salad. We both really enjoyed the salads, so I thought it would be fun…
As promised, here is my recipe for teriyaki turkey burgers! Once you have made my homemade chunky teriyaki sauce, they are really quite simple… But, they don’t taste simple, at all. Don’t you love dishes like that? I know I do! I made these burgers the first time we used our new grill. They were amazing…
