using up summer squash and zucchini

August 18, 2008 by Emily 1 Comment

I must preface this post by telling you that I have really, honestly, truly made more recipes than I’ve posted. I’ve just had two failures and one that was less than photogenic. So… This is what you get. Forgive me. We all make mistakes. Yesterday, I came home FAMISHED. Dying. Perishing. Nearly without life. Extinguished….

shepherd’s pie

August 13, 2008 by Emily Leave a Comment

I know. I KNOW! It’s August, not September or October/November/December/Any other chilly month. But I’ve seen delicious-looking recipes for shepherd’s pie in about 4 of the 13 cookbooks I’ve gone through lately, and I just wanted to try it. I remember eating it a few times in my childhood, but I, like my mother, reeeeeally…

honey butter

August 7, 2008 by Emily Leave a Comment

I know what you’re thinking. And yes, the answer is that this recipe contains honey and butter. And that’s pretty much it. Unless you’re adventurous, then you can add an egg yolk. This basic recipe came to us from Michael’s grandpa who lives in a beautiful mountain town and gets his honey from a special…

stuffed quesadillas (gf)

August 5, 2008 by Emily Leave a Comment

Last week, I told Michael that I wanted to make “the ultimate” quesadilla. We decided this would be our meatless meal of the week, so I didn’t worry about a chicken element, but these were amazing. I am DEFINITELY going to be making them again. What makes these “the ultimate” quesadilla is how stuffed they…

caramel-y apple salad (gf)

July 31, 2008 by Emily 4 Comments

I’ve struggled to come up with a good name for this salad, which sort of came together on a whim. After being inspired by Pioneer Woman’s berry cream, I made a somewhat lighter version of berry cream that tastes amazing. The creamy sauce, then, was the base idea for this recipe. It has a light,…

yummy baked falafel

July 26, 2008 by Emily 1 Comment

Having been a serious reader of cookbooks for the past three years, I have come across a wide variety recipes for falafel, mostly in vegetarian or Middle Eastern cookbooks. Although I’ve come across dozens of recipes for them, I’d never actually tried falafel. Today, however, I looked through my canned things to take inventory before…

brioche honey pecan sticky buns

July 22, 2008 by Emily Leave a Comment

For those of you wondering, the answer is no, I do not have a cookbook crush on Dorie Greenspan. Very much. Yes, I told a falsehood just then. I really like her baking book. I like like her baking book. As much as I read cookbooks (I read the entire cookbook section in my parent’s…

Herbed Thin Crust Pizza

July 7, 2008 by Emily 2 Comments

I think I’ve mentioned before that I have a life goal to find the world’s very best homemade pizza crust recipe. I’ve tried about 15 recipes so far, and this is definitely the best. Next time I try this one, I’m going to try to spin the dough more than roll it out, since my…

Banana Cake with Chocolate Ganache // One Lovely Life

I have recently decided that I want to be a better baker. I love doing it, and I feel like I’m competent, I just really want to learn how to take it to the next level. Michael is very supportive. I’m not surprised. Anyway. For some unexplainable reason, I got this idea in my head…

french toast with strawberry sauce

June 26, 2008 by Emily 1 Comment

Oh sweet Suzie, this is SUCH a yummy recipe! This is another example of using frozen berries just as easily as fresh. Only add as much sugar as you NEED. I love the flavor of strawberries to come through more than want the flavor of sugar. However, if like my father and grandfather anything remotely…
