My Take on a BLT

2018-11-06T12:26:00-06:00

What do you do when you have some bacon, cherry tomatoes and a few hungry people? This version of the classic B.L.T., that's what! Add a little processed cheese product (a.k.a. American cheese), and you get something that looks just like this and tastes even better.

Decorating cupcakes

2018-12-04T09:39:55-06:00

My daughter has been bitten by the baking bug, and I couldn't be happier about it. For several weeks she asked me to locate my icing decorating kit, and I finally found it. She put it to use right away, using store made icing to decorate cupcakes she made from scratch. She even filled the [...]

“Man-mosas”

2018-12-04T09:39:26-06:00

We love a good mimosa on a Sunday morning. It's a great excuse to have a breakfasty/alcoholic beverage on the last day of the weekend. My husband recently came across a slightly more "manly" version of this Sunday staple, though I never got a good explanation about why mimosas aren't manly in the first [...]

Cinnamon Scones

2018-12-04T09:39:18-06:00

I wanted to try some other breakfast pastry, and I had never made scones before. This recipe came from Bon Appetit, and in this first run through, I didn't change a thing. The end result was beautiful, but the cinnamon taste was too subtle for me or anyone in the family. The better news is [...]

“Boogaloo” Sandwich

2018-12-04T09:39:09-06:00

Who doesn't like a good Sloppy Joe? And who doesn't like a good Sloppy Joe that promises to be even better than what you're used to? Well....I already have a Sloppy Joe recipe that I like, but maybe it could be better. Evolve or die, right? This one looked especially pretty in the cooking magazine [...]

Fresh Homemade Bread

2018-12-04T09:39:03-06:00

My daughter loves loves loves bread, so I thought I would try to take a very basic bread recipe and turn it into something more my taste. This was my first attempt at this recipe. It was beautiful and tasty and smelled incredible. But it was a bit plain, and I am still trying [...]

Braciole – Trying to make it my own

2018-12-04T09:38:49-06:00

I saw this recipe in one of the cooking magazines I get monthly and I was totally intrigued. It looked so great in the photos, and because it cooks for hours, it's one of those dishes that fills the house with a great smell. I made the recipe as they suggested, and haven't made any [...]
