Today I am so lucky to have Amber from Bluebonnets & Brownies here to share a recipe for Weeknight Sausage Pasta with all of you! It’s really a good thing for everyone… If I was writing, you’d probably be reading all about hospital food… And, no one wants that! I met Amber at the Big…
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 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!
I haven’t really done much cooking in the last few days… We have been busy helping friends paint their new house, working in our yard, and visiting family over the weekend. It has been quite relaxing, and I’ve been enjoying getting things done around the house. The only issue is that when I don’t cook,…
My husband always raves about the bread at Italian restaurants… Not just the typical white “Italian” bread, but the herb breads that are often served with olive oil for dipping. You know what I mean, right? So, I decided to try my hand at some bread of my own. Of course, since I was making…
A few weeks ago I heard someone mention putting pasta in a frittata (I think I was watching a cooking show on TV, but I can’t remember)… I was skeptical. I am one of those people who is picky about the textures of my food… So, I wasn’t sure about pasta with cooked eggs. However,…
This dish started out with a coupon for a bag of “Chopped Rappi.” I like clipping coupons… It’s a great way to save money on groceries, helping to keep our grocery bill down. I get ideas from coupons once in a while, too. Coupons often remind me of products I haven’t used in a while, and…
I find that there is something relaxing and soothing about making pasta by hand. I’m not Italian (but sometimes think I should have been), and making my own pasta is my way of channeling my inner Italian grandmother. Ever since we planned our February Boston trip, I had been looking forward to the butternut squash…
On the Sunday after Thanksgiving, I planned on making this stuffed pork tenderloin with the parmesan roasted potatoes that I made for Gourmet Unbound. I wasn’t feeling great, though, and the pork tenderloin never happened. So, about a week later, I finally got around to giving it a shot, but it turned out to be one…
