I am a huge macaroni & cheese fan. I just love it. Especially with bread crumbs on top, and I love broccoli in it too. But even though I have quite the macaroni & cheese recipe collection (like this one, and this one, and then there’s this one), I am always looking for new ways [...]
Before I get started talking about fungus, I wanna say how much I appreciate all my readers and fans. There’s no smooth transition between talking about fungi and my fans, or vice versa, so I won’t even try. I just wanted to tell you all that I really do appreciate you, every single one of [...]
Everyone is familiar with Shepherd’s Pie. If you’re Irish, then you definitely know Shepherd’s Pie. It’s classic pub food. The original name is “Cottage Pie.”
Cottage pie refers to an English meat pie made with beef mince and with a crust made from mashed potato. A variation on this dish using Lamb mince is [...]
I love macaroni & cheese. Who doesn’t, really? What’s not to like? It’s pasta, and cheese. So I’m always on the lookout to create variations on the “mac-n-cheese” theme. I’ve made two different kinds that have been huge successes, both of which are posted on here. But there’s always room for more! So I combined [...]
Let’s get one thing straight: me and broccoli, we’re like this *holds two fingers together* We’re BFF’s. When I was a baby, I ate so much broccoli with cheese my parents were afraid I’d turn into the Jolly Green Giant. Then I went through a rebellious phase of “I won’t eat anything green unless it’s [...]
I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving yesterday. My holiday isn’t quite over yet, as I’m celebrating part two tomorrow.
And as if broccoli gratin & lasagna (in addition to turkeys, stuffing, potatoes, etc) weren’t enough for my 2 Thanksgivings this year, I decided to make cheddar dill scones as well. I’ve been tossing the [...]
This is a new venture for me here on Cupcake Rehab. I’m usually not much of a “reviewer. ” Not when it comes to this kinda stuff anyway. I’ve been to tons of restaurants and bakeries but I always feel as though it isn’t up to me to review them. As if anyone cares what [...]
Okay, this is the first time I’m writing up an entry for an awesome recipe that I failed to execute correctly. Through no fault of it’s own, the chive risotto cakes recipe couldn’t live up to it’s full potential because I am an impatient bitch. Patience is a virtue I do not have. Besides, when [...]
Every Christmas since I can remember and probably long before that, my mother has made 7-Layer Magic Cookie Bars, and now I do as well. Those are more of a wintery, cold weather treat because they’re heavy, with the condensed milk and all, and sticky so eating them in warm weather would be very irritating [...]
Before I start, I just want to let everyone know that Cupcake Rehab has a new Facebook page! So go become a fan if you have Facebook. And if you don’t have a Facebook, don’t worry! There are other ways to keep up with Cupcake Rehab, just click here and see.
Okay now on to the [...]
A couple of months ago I was sick, and stuck in bed for a week, and during that time I read about 700 books. One of these books was Diane Mott Davidson’s Prime Cut. Its a culinary mystery book, with recipes intertwined with each chapter. One of the recipes was something called ‘Slumber Party Potatoes’ [...]
Well, everyone, its time for another Daring Baker’s Challenge! The April 2009 challenge is hosted by Jenny from Jenny Bakes. She has chosen Abbey’s Infamous Cheesecake as the challenge. Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts and I never make it. Thats why I look forward to this challenge each month, they literally give you [...]
This recipe idea is possibly one of the best I ever saw but never would’ve thought of myself (and now I’m consequently kicking myself for not doing so). I got this recipe from the book Eat Cheap but Eat Well by Charles Mattocks, aka “The Poor Chef,” another author I met at the Lord & [...]
Risotto is one of my favorite things to make. Its easy, fairly quick, and its a one-pot creation. A lot of people are intimidated by it.. but its nothing to fear. Its easier than you think. Its true; you have to keep an eye on it, and stir it frequently, but if you stir it [...]
Recently Jay (and I *cough*, hehe) adopted a dog, which was exciting for us both since he’s wanted one for a long time (and I have too- I love animals) and also because now I get to make doggie cupcakes. I love my kitty cat to death, and she’s my babygirl, but cats don’t eat [...]
