Some weeks I buy a jalapeno or two, other weeks I buy none. One or two usually last me two or three weeks, maybe more. Last week I came home with 8 jalapenos. Sometimes I wonder who takes over my body in the grocery store and tells me to do such crazy things. And then […]
Saturday Sweets: Cadbury Creme Egg Brownies
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say something I’ve thought long and hard about. These are the best thing I’ve made so far this year. There you have it. Need I say more? Oh, you know I can’t resist :) First, I have a disclaimer: Carl did not think these were the […]
Easy Cheddar Chive Biscuits
When spring arrives and the flowers bloom, I am always thrilled to get a cool, rainy day. Call me crazy, but I hang onto fall and winter as long as I can – I love the coziness of being inside, the cooler temperatures when I’m outside, and the food, all the winter food! I just […]
Glazed Chai Spiced Muffins
I’ve been trying to cut back on sweets just a little lately, mainly because my 1 year old is a snackaholic and I can’t even look at a snack while he’s awake without being forced to give him some. My 3 year old was never, and still isn’t, that into sweets, and would take raw […]
Whole Wheat Lemon Raspberry Muffins
I think it’s fairly well established that I am a muffin lover. So instead of rehashing that, can we talk about painting prep? I know, it’s a random subject, but with summer around the corner I have already had to deal with several interesting conversations in my job at a paint store. Take yesterday, for […]
Easter Traditions: Poffert
Happy Saturday!! This recipe reminded me again of how wonderful it is to blog with my sister – while I was planning Easter picnics for the kids, making weird brown gingerbread eggs, and going to concerts, she was hard at work on Easter recipes. Since she gets to go away for the weekend with family, […]
Saturday Sweets: Apple Oat Bars
You’d think I’m unaware that spring is here. I’ve been on a comfort food kick for awhile now that shows no signs of bowing to the pressure of evening light, buds on trees, and grass in need of mowing. I am all about the soups, chilis, pastas, and turkey dinner these days. Not to mention […]
The Wisdom of Grandparents, and Spicy Chicken Soup
You know those moments where you look at your grandparents and you are really, truly, amazed by their wisdom, life experience, positive outlook on life, and are just pretty darn proud of being the offspring of a couple of pretty good eggs? Well, I love my grandparents, and have this feeling a lot. But never […]
Zucchini Muffins with Nutella Swirl
Ah, Monday. Hello again, old friend. I am one of those weird people who kinda loves Monday mornings…back into schedule after a busy weekend, and I can usually count on a couple early-week evenings all to myself to recover, regroup, and watch a little mind-numbing TV. I am a creature of habit and routine, and […]
Saturday Sweets: Calico Squares
There are few things that make me crazier than hair in my dishwater. Tell me I’m not alone in this? I do not have a dishwasher at my disposal, and I actually don’t really mind doing the dishes, but, when there is a hair in the water, it gives me the heebies in the very […]
