Sorry it's been a week since I've posted anything! Our computer got a virus and I was unable to get on the internet until Sunday night and then I was under the weather yesterday. But now I'm back on track! You never realize how much you're on the internet until you don't have it for several days!! Anyway, to the recipe. I made these when we had our appetizer meal back around New Year's, but … Read More
I was browsing the many blogs that I love to read for some chicken recipes since I was getting bored with the same old chicken we always have. I found this recipe for Chicken Piccata at For the Love of Cooking. I had everything on hand, except I just needed to get one more lemon. This was great because we are really trying to cut back on our groceries and cook from the pantry this … Read More
This is another great recipe from my new Ellie Krieger cookbook, So Easy. Squash is a great side, though I do find it super hard to cut up, but it's totally worth it. I served them along side these chicken mushroom quesadillas I made the other day, and it balanced out the meal very nicely. I love that these have a hint of sweetness, but are hearty and savory as well. I also added a bit of … Read More
Of course, it's that time of year where I struggle to fit into my jeans and try and get those holiday pounds off! I hate that I do this to myself every year. Every year around the holidays, I tell myself I'm going to be good except Christmas Day, and then I end up just eating bad from the whole Christmas season all the way through the first week of January! Haha. Thankfully I kept working out … Read More
I thought I would do a post with just a sampling of my favorite recipes from 2009. I have to be honest and say, I'm actually glad to leave 2009 behind. It wasn't horrible, and it definitely had some high points...but on the whole I just think better things are on the horizon and am excited for the freshness a new year brings. So, with that here are the top recipes from this past … Read More
Adam was off of work all last week, which was glorious. We had a blast. I thought it would be fun one day to make several appetizers that we could eat on for several meals and just hang out and watch ballgames, movies, play games, etc. Then I wouldn't have to worry about cooking and taking time away so we could maximize our time together. I have had this salsa a couple of times and it's … Read More
My mom has been making this recipe for several years now. I have to confess that I really hate pimento cheese. Really hate it. I wouldn't try her recipe for a long long time. This fall, I finally decided to try some, and it was wonderful! It wasn't all watery and gloppy like so many pimento cheeses that I've tried in the past. This was so great and I found myself craving it from time to time. … Read More
A couple of weeks ago, I was watching Giada on Food Network and she was making these salami & gorgonzola biscuits. I was immediately intrigued and wanted to make them. I had intentions of making these for our sunday school class, but at the last minute just decided to use up some packaged cinnamon rolls. I did make this for my parents annual Christmas Caroling Party though, and they were … Read More
I have been baking and putting together my treat baskets to give away. I just love to do that every year. It gives me a great excuse to get in the kitchen and not be tempted to eat it!:) I came across these in my Martha Stewart Living (sorry for back to back Martha posts!) and thought they sounded great for my baskets. These turned out so pretty and tasted good, but they are a little too … Read More
I was flipping through my Martha Stewart Cookies Cookbook when I was trying to decide what to make for my holiday baking and came across these gems. She describes them as having all of the flavors of hot chocolate and they certainly do. These turned out fabulously!! Adam tried one and immediately reached for another. These are the kind of cookies that you immediately just have to say "Mmm! … Read More
