The Pepper Mill was our local haunt – cheesesteaks on Friday nights and and surprisingly good omelettes on Sunday’s after church. I have a very clear memory of going with my mom when I was about fourteen or fifteen and ordering the BLT wrap. I just felt like the most mature adult there was,...
Big fan of dates. Dates are natures candy – and candy wrapped bacon (minus the sugar) is what’s up. I made these for some Whole30 guests but my (gluten free) husband and my (eats without restrictions) in-laws enjoyed them just the same. Even Leo got in on the action – they’re like the most...
This is the type of food that you need to make if you’re trying to lose weight. It’s a whole-heck-of-a-lot of chewing for negligible calories, tons of protein and tons of filling fiber. I know I say that a lot in these posts, but for slaws like this it’s particularly true.
This recipe is a standby for me – originally from when I taught at the high school, this was a hit for several reasons. First of all – it’s easy as pie (or…bread). Secondly, my students would be REALLY proud of themselves for making something that they’d only ever seen from a bakery. And...
Two things to talk about today. I’ve started to use “cooked chicken breasts” as an ingredient and I’m not sure if some of you find that annoying. My most used method for cooking chicken that I’ll add to soups, pastas or pilafs is probably not what you think.
For the past few weeks I’ve been giving cooking lessons in my home! Two awesome middle school girls, Morgan and Caroline. We’ve been having fun and cooking whatever they choose to make from my blog. They chose this pesto pasta salad which has been on homebeccanomics for a long time -the pictures were terrible and...
OK, so scones are the best. In college I used to end almost every day with a cinnamon chip scone and a chai latte (and then I gained ten pounds). For other people it was beer, for me it was scones. They still have a place in my life, but more like 1 every few...
This healthy soup was purposely made after a birthday lunch at the new Victory Brewery in Kennet where I shared Thai mussels with my bestie and devoured a handcrafted burger (basically a mostly organic version of a Big Mac) that pretty much rocked my socks off. My appetite vanished for hours, probably due to the...
This bread is so completely tied to a memory that I feel I must share it with you. It involves babies and mothers and girlfriends – a trifecta of love, if you will.
