I just realized that this is the second chocolate-peanut butter combination I’ve made this week. I promise next week will be all about vegetables and fruits and healthy things…maybe. This is a super simple, no-brainer kind of recipe. I wanted to make a quick snack for the kids and I was craving those chow mein … Read more
I love this meal! It might sound a bit labor-intensive, but it really is extremely easy to put together. The presentation is spectacular and so is the taste. My inspiration for this dish is the old-school Beef Wellington. I left out the pate or prosciutto that you’d find in the traditional. Then I added some … Read more
There was a half batch of chocolate chip cookie dough calling to me from the freezer on Sunday. I wanted to make something good for dessert; something that really constituted as Dessert with a capital D and not just cookies. So I started wondering if I could use the cookie dough as a pie crust. … Read more

I have still been working on tackling a big bag of dried cherries we were gifted with from a neighbor. Between the chocolate cherry muffins I made a few weeks ago and this bread, I’ve used 3/4 of the bag already. I’m actually surprised and a little sad I’ve used so many already. I think … Read more
I love cooking with red cabbage. The color is amazing and it makes everything look good. I’ve found that even my non-cabbage eating kids will gobble this up. And the color is definitely the reason. When you have girls who love the color purple, I guess that should go without saying. (By the way, I … Read more
I had quite a few requests for the breadstick recipe I mentioned in my baking day post earlier this week, so I knew I had to share. I can’t take credit for this recipe. It comes from my good friend Joy. It is without a doubt the best breadstick recipe I’ve ever made!
I am a huge fan of waffles, especially waffles that have an extra added ingredient or two in them. Take for example my bacon waffles – those are awesome! But these definitely come in a close second.
