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…
It’s time for this week’s Friday Favorites again! Even though I’ve been feeling a little bit better each day, I’m afraid I still have a while until I’m back to 100% again. I’ve been able to get back into the kitchen a little bit, but not nearly as much as I like. Instead, I’ve been doing…
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…
You may think that I forgot about this month’s Kitchen Bootcamp challenge… But, I didn’t! I just waited until the last minute. Two weeks ago, as I was planning our dinner menu for the next week, I planned to make a nice beef stew. It was chilly at the time, and it seemed like the…
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.
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.)
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…
Happy Friday! I am going to keep this somewhat brief today because I’ve got lots to do. Friends of ours are having a birthday party for their 2 year old son this Sunday afternoon, and asked me to do the cake. We settled on a sports theme cake decorated with sugar cookies, so I will…
As soon as I got word of Gourmet, Unbound, I began searching on Epicurious for the “perfect” recipe for this December. I was determined to find a good one, since it was the first official month of Gourmet, Unbound. I stumbled across this recipe for Peppermint Patties from the December 2007 issue, and I knew…
I used to be a meal planner… I would sit down over the weekend and plan out meals for the coming week, complete with shopping list and “do ahead” notes so that I would remember to prepare some meals ahead of time on busy days. Lately, I’m lucky if I know what I’m making for…
