I had chicken, and I’d bought some pretty baby bok choy at the Grower’s Market. What to do. I found myself looking at a very simple recipe on some website – made it and loved it with a few tweaks to make it more “one dish”. It was so easy (and tasty) I decided to...
Alternate title: So Easy a Middle Schooler Could Make Them. Seriously. My middle school students made this exact recipe. Now, there are plenty of simple recipes that my middle schoolers made that I wouldn’t deem bloggable, but this is not one. These pretzels have a crisp exterior with a chewy center; the flavor has...
Recently I did some work for Margaritaville’s blog – a bunch of recipes, some you’ve seen on here and some that will post in the next few weeks. I figured for a mayo-free tailgate side, you can’t much butter than grilled corn on the cob, but truth be told I’d never made it. I...
Was tempted to call it cilantro “crema” because every time I see that on a menu I go, “yummm crema I’ll have that”, when in reality I think it’s pretty much the same thing. Regardless, these burgers are tasty and a nice balance of healthy and indulgent, which is how I like all my...
This biscotti is a favorite for my family at Christmas, but I like it all times of the year. The recent chocolate biscotti post was very crunchy, but this one has a glorious chew. Chewy is more my thing, and these are scrumptious.
I love carrot cake, and in the past have used this recipe, on my blog for years now. So what made me use naptime this past Easter Sunday to make a cake instead of laze around, enjoying the 80 degree weather? America’s Test Kitchen absolutely fabulous looking, tricked-out version of my old favorite.
Let me tell you something – if you like buying organic meal but dislike the price of organic meat, then drumsticks are for you. At Trader Joe’s I got 10 drumsticks for a total of about $7.00. Per edible ounce, they are the most inexpensive cut of the chicken, not to mention really fun...
When we lived in downtown West Chester, walking up to town for dinner happened a fair amount (especially when the weather was nice and before we had two kids). In working out that 80/20 rule of healthy eating, this meant I ordered salads a fair amount. Now solidly in the burbs, a dinner out...
I think from now on I’ll add a cabbage to my grocery order as a sort of “dinner insurance”. Why? Well cabbage will keep in the fridge for weeks, and I always have frozen Costco grass-fed organic beef on hand. Some of the rest of the accoutrements make this tasty but aren’t absolutely necessary, which...
