We eat a lot of pasta, fajitas, pizza, and meat and potato meals around here. Sometimes it’s good to change things up a little, and these little spring rolls were a major hit in the change-it-up department. This filling is fantastic in regular spring roll wrappers, in wonton cups, or wrapped in lettuce leaves. I […]
Double Chocolate Skillet Cookie
Skillet cookies have more than one use around here. Not only do they satisfy any major sweet craving handily, they are also cooked in my cast iron skillet, which apparently can help with iron intake. Dark chocolate also happens to be high in iron, so this extra-chocolately jumbo cookie is really a health investment. My […]
Mom’s Recipes: Rhubarb Tart
Fresh rhubarb doesn’t last nearly long enough, so let’s make the best of it while it’s here! While my rhubarb plant is busy recovering from being a re-located weed, and I can sense rhubarb blitzes in my future, it’s a couple weeks away for me. Thankfully, Mom is here with another fabulous rhubarb recipe for a […]
Basque Chicken Drumsticks
Today I’m responsible for feeding 200 people. Monday I shopped like it wasn’t my money, Tuesday I prepped like I was actually going to benefit from it, and today all that food disappears into (hopefully) smiling faces. I won’t know because I have to leave as soon as it’s set up to write an exam on the cheery subject […]
Chocolate Caramel Apple Dip
So, talk to me about bike shorts. My hubby is a road biking fan, but only recently took the commitment level up to official padded-bottom spandex bike shorts. I’m a little disconcerted when he walks around the house in them and suddenly has a bum nicer than mine. What’s next – a spandex bike shirt […]
Raspberry Chia Bran Muffins
You just never know what random things will have a major impact on your life, something you never saw coming, something that makes each and every day a little better. My sister swears by bra fittings and eyebrow threading: I add to the list good socks. Good socks, my friends, are something I never had until […]
Lemon Rhubarb Coffee Cake
Yeeeee-awn. I’ve been trying to get up extra early every day for some quiet devotion and alone time, and, while the sun makes it easier, it still isn’t easy for someone who loves their bed as much as I do. I don’t drink coffee, so coffee cake is like my coffee – a morning pick-me-up accompanied perfectly […]
Crispy Baked Chicken Fingers
Summer is suddenly upon us here, at least for a couple days until spring reasserts itself, and I’m starting early on my annual bid for air conditioning. I love a sunny day as much as the next guy, but a hot house is looooow on my list of good things. Let’s see, wheerrrrre is it, […]
Apple Crumble Quick Bread
Before we talk about apple cinnamon loaves and perfect streusel topping, I need to know: is anyone else the proud owner of an independent, opinionated 5-year-old girl? I love my sweet daughter dearly, and for the most part she’s extremely easy-going, friendly, open and reasonable. But man, when she gets something into her head there […]
Orange Creamsicle Cookies
If you don’t like orange creamsicles, don’t go yet! If you DO like orange creamsicles, definitely don’t go yet. I’m not the biggest fan myself, but like just about anything in life, orange creamsicles taste better as a cookie. Especially a stay-soft, gooey-chewy perfect little orange and white chocolate cookie.These lemon white chocolate sugar cookies are one of […]
