First of all, I can’t believe that I haven’t posted about these brownies in the over two years that I’ve been blogging. They’re very good and quite different as far as a brownie goes. I developed them several years ago after being asked to make a trifle for a holiday […]

Michael’s Chicken
So named for the man who introduced us to his wonderful fennel spice rub- Michael Chiarello. We love watching his show, and adore his fennel spice rub. Anytime I mention roasting chicken, Andy lights up and questions me “Michael’s Chicken?” And after many trials, I think I’ve nailed perfection with […]
The Alpha-Veggie Challenge: A for Asparagus
This is proving to be very interesting. A few days back I had made the Asparagus-Pesto lasagna. Zander really liked it, Abigail thought it was okay- and neither of them knew it had asparagus in it. But they knew that Mom and Dad had asparagus in theirs. Then the other […]
Our own little veggie challenge
We are a veggie-loving family. There are very few vegetables that I don’t care for- the only two coming to the top of my mind is rutabaga and spaghetti squash. Andy pretty much likes them all, although he’s not very fond of corn unless it’s on the cob. And the […]
Homemade Yogurt?
A couple of years ago I really wanted to make my own yogurt. It just seemed like one of those things that I should learn how to do. So I went on a search to find out how to do it, and stumbled across a yogurt maker. At the time, […]
What Did I Do!!
Sometimes I can be so rash… Welcome to yet another new look. It’s fun and quirky- I like it, but it wreaked some havoc on my blog. Please let me know if you have any problems- especially with any of the links in the sidebar. I had to redo the […]
Cat Cora’s Kitchen
I love Greek food. It’s one of my favorite cuisines- I just love the flavor combinations and the freshness of most Greek inspired food. This past Sunday for Company Dinner it was Greek night, and for me that always means a big Greek salad at the very least. I wanted […]
Magazine Day
Every month, when the new issue of Cooking Light magazine comes out, Alysha of The Savory Notebook lists all the recipes she’d like to try from the issue. It’s a good idea. Other than the occasional recipe, I haven’t been cooking a whole lot from my magazines, which is a […]
Gooey Goodness
But not from me. I don’t have much exciting to post about today. It was a gorgeous day yesterday, so Andy broke out the smoker- and I didn’t do any cooking myself to post about. But I do want to direct my readers to one of the yummiest bites of […]
Educating Peter
by Lettie Teague It’s not every day that you see a book review on this blog. In fact, I have a whole separate blog specifically for the purpose of keeping track of what I read. But this book is different. This is a book designed to educate the masses in […]
Vegetarian Night
One of my resolutions this year was to cook more vegetarian meals for my family. Admittedly that hasn’t really happened much yet other than the occasional veggie pizza. But yesterday I was flipping through older magazines looking for anything to cook for dinner that was a little different. I was […]
Default Side Dish
I guess I’ve been a little MIA lately. I haven’t done a huge lot of new cooking- nothing exciting really. It finally warmed up a tad, so we’ve been running the grill a little making standard grill food- burgers, chicken breasts, hot dogs, etc. Nothing really blog-worthy. And I guess […]
