I should preface this by saying that I am not normally a coffee cake type of person. I’ve really just never been a big fun- unless they are loaded with things like a fruity-jammy filling and plenty of frosting. So what drew me to try this recipe- well, I honestly […]

Old Favorites Week
This week I was really stumped when it came to a menu plan. I had no clue what I was in the mood for or felt like making. Fortunately for me, Andy is around this week, so I handed him some paper and told him to write some things down […]
Wickedly Easy Breadsticks
I need to stop making addictive baked goods. Much like those pancakes I’ve been swooning over- these breadsticks did the exact same thing to me. I had to keep going back into the kitchen for “just one more” because they really weren’t that good- were they? This recipe came about […]

One of the soups that I generally avoid like the plague is split pea soup. I’ve never liked it- not the texture, and not the flavor. Yet every once in a while, I think I need to try again, and every single time I am reminded that I just don’t […]
You Can Thank Me Later
Yesterday’s soup came about simply because of the random supply of ingredients I had in the fridge. Well, it wasn’t exactly random, but I found myself with an ample supply of vegetables and leftover beef that would have been ideal in a stir fry. Only, I really wasn’t in the […]

I always forget how much I enjoy making cake from scratch until I make cake from scratch. We were having a birthday in the family, and I was in charge of making a cake. The request had been for marble- so I hunted and flipped through cookbooks looking for […]
On The Table In Ten Minutes
I knew this recipe was going to be quick to make, but really didn’t realize just how quick it was going to be. The other day I pulled down my copy of A Year In A Vegetarian Kitchen, thinking that it had been a while since Jack Bishop made a […]
Avocado Cream
It’s avocado season. And every year, about this time, as the football news is reaching it’s peak, it is confirmed in my mind that the NFL knew what it was doing when it scheduled the big game for this time of the year. I just know they picked January and […]
