This is a long-time favorite pasta dish that I don’t cook often enough….but I’m going to try to fix that. I made it the other night and was reminded of how much I love this simple meal. I also love that it’s chock full of veggies. I found this recipe years ago in the Betty [...]
I am obsessed with this recipe. I was craving wontons the other week, finally found wonton wrappers at the grocery store, and experimented with some of the ingredients I had on hand (I couldn’t find any wonton recipes that used cabbage and carrots, but they sounded good and so I figured I’d give them a [...]
Isn’t it funny how something so simple can make such an amazing difference? Just last night, I made hamburgers for dinner. Plain old, simple hamburgers. But they weren’t just hamburgers, because while the burgers were cooking on the grill, I sauteed some mushrooms, onion and garlic in a little olive oil…and turned my burger into [...]
Yes, I did really say that. My 13 year old asked me to pick up some Oreos the other day. When I asked why she wanted Oreos in particular (I know, silly question), she told me about some cookies that her friend at school had told her about. Oh my! Does it get much [...]
This week I was craving stuffed bell peppers, but I feared that none of the kids would touch dinner cooked in a pepper. The kids are typically ok with things like peppers and onions and tomatoes when they’re cut up into tiny pieces or hidden amongst other things that they like (ie–lots of meat). I [...]
A few weeks ago, I developed quite a hankering for wontons. I eventually got around to gathering all of the ingredients and whipped up a glorious batch of cabbage and pork wontons. They were the kind of food perfection that I dreamed about for days afterwards. They were so good that I had to go [...]
OK, let’s get this out in the open. Do you call them doughnuts or donuts? Please excuse me as I waffle back and forth between the two terms. Whatever name you use for these breakfast treats, doughnuts/donuts are absolutely delicious, and I love that I can now make them at home. Yesterday, I had the [...]
This winter may not have been a snowy one, but it certainly has been a COLD one. And there’s nothing better on a cold winter night than a comforting bowl of hot soup. To be honest, I’ve never been a fan of tomato soup. I have a distinct and disturbing memory from my childhood that [...]
I would eat doughnuts every morning if I could. Which would probably be a very bad move on my part. As much as I love eating doughnuts, I had never made doughnuts before last week. After seeing my friend Lisa’s recipe for Baked Nutella Doughnuts, I decided that I needed a doughnut pan. I found [...]
I don’t know about you, but I adore Butterfingers. And rice krispie treats. OK, I am pretty partial to most sweets. You can’t go wrong when you pair two favorites – Butterfingers candy bars and rice krispie treats. Oh, and marshmallows. Can’t forget the marshmallows. I’ve been cooking like a mad woman lately (I’ll apologize [...]
