Trick or treat!

My jack-o-lantern for this year, Happy Halloween!
…
Last year I shared my recipe for pumpkin muffins that use up the cut-out pieces of the jack-o-lantern. I’ve been making them since I was in Kindergarten, the recipe is actually courtesy of my Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Blach. This year, I’ll share a recipe for toasted pumpkin seeds, another [...]

The proof is in the (chocolate) pudding.

I love chocolate pudding. As a kid, I loved butterscotch the best, and I still like it, but  this here post is about chocolate. That is, I should say, I like it when I actually have the opportunity to eat pudding, which is rare. I don’t eat store bought pudding nor do I buy it, [...]

Biscuit doughnuts.

What? Yes, donuts made of biscuits. In the words of Homer Simpson: “Mmm… donuts.” Does it matter what kind? No. Glazed, chocolate, Boston Cream, cinnamon, powdered sugar, who cares. Everything is better with doughnuts. Or donuts if you prefer to spell it that way.
One of my favorite ladies in the world and one of my [...]

The perfect pizza.

I decided the other day for Meatless Monday that I’d try out a new pizza dough recipe. I don’t eat that much meat, really, during an average week, and when I do, it’s chicken. I’ve pretty much cut out red meat for the most part, yes, I still cave in for a good, thick, juicy [...]

Happy Birthday Funfetti- no thanks to Pillsbury.

No offense Pillsbury, you served me well for many years… came in handy when I wanted to make a quick sheet cake at midnight during my college years and kept my sugar levels up through many class birthday parties as a child, but I don’t really “do” box cake mixes anymore. Sure, occasionally I’ll use [...]

French-toasted chicken sandwiches.

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 & [...]

Broccoli is like, so cheesy.

Jay loves broccoli. So much it frightens me. He orders a side of broccoli EVERYWHERE we go. Broccoli in any form, cooked any way, with garlic, with marinara, with cheese, etc.  Broccoli with a side of air. Literally, any kind. I can take it or leave it, personally. I won’t specifically order it, and I [...]
