I am now a fan of the old addage “neccessity is the mother of invention.” More often than not in my life, this has been applied to childhood: tricking your little sister into letting you play with her birthday presents…digging to China with the silver spoons you tricked your little sister into swiping from the…
chili mac (gf)
When I was growing up, every once in a while my mom would make chili mac. About half hated it and a few ate it. I. Loved. It. I do, however, believe it’s a sometimes food. Not an all the time food. Just sometimes. Sometimes I just get the hankering for chili mac. And the…
curry for those who don’t really “do” curry
Curry, for any who don’t know, is not actually a spice (although you can find bottles labeled “curry” in the spice aisle). Rather, curry is a blend of spices. And it’s FAR tastier (and authentic) to make your own curry blend. I, however, am on a budget, and to make my own blend from scratch…
cinnamon raisin bagels
Cinnamon Raisin Bagels are Michael’s favorite. And Michael is my favorite. Therefore… Michael + love for cinnamon raisin bagels x my love for Michael squared = I make cinnamon raisin bagels. It’s all very simple really. I’ve really been enjoying recipes from my new cooking friend Emily, and when I told Michael I wanted to…
honey "graham" bars
Once upon a Wednesday, I was looking at Smitten Kitchen’s homemade s’mores, then read Emily’s graham cracker recipe. I had every ingredient on her list and…wow. That just plain ol’ sounded good. I’d recently had my life changed by Emily’s bagel recipe, which I adapted to make cinnamon raisin bagels, which are Michael’s favorite, and…
using up summer squash and zucchini
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
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
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…
