We love Chinese food around here! For some reason it’s one of the cuisines I’ve ventured into the least in my cooking. When the mood strikes we just order take out from our favorite local Chinese restaurant. One of our standard orders is sweet and sour chicken. We love the crispy chicken and tangy sauce. […]
A tragic realization hit me this weekend… summer is coming to a close. My older kiddos head back to school in just over two weeks, my newborn baby is suddenly looking huge and as I looked out the window this morning I noticed some of the leaves on our beautiful maple tree are turning red. […]
I love Cook’s Illustrated. I honestly don’t know why I ever attempt making recipes out of other cookbooks when the lovely people at America’s Test Kitchen have the best version of everything. Everyone loves mac and cheese and I am not an exception. I’m also the girl always on the search for the very best […]
Once upon a time I had a baby. And then another. And another. And another. Our church has an amazing meals ministry and the lovely ladies who make meals are so talented I think part of the reason I keep having babies is to have meals delivered 🙂 Six weeks ago we welcomed our newest […]
I adore just about anything pumpkin and these muffins are a staple in our house. I make them at least twice a week because my family loves them that much. They are super moist, have a wonderful cinnamon-y, pumpkin-y flavor to them and give the ones at Panera a run for their money! You can […]
I have had countless slices of banana bread over the years. I LOVE quick breads… zucchini, carrot, pumpkin and banana – yum! And of course I’m always in search of the best recipe. My sister in law shared this one with me years ago and I have never made another recipe since. The sour cream […]
After a very long food blogging break, I am back! Life is certainly crazy around here especially in light of the fact that we welcomed our fourth son into the world just over two weeks ago. But I miss blogging and there are quite a few recipes making the blog rounds that I am dying […]
I am back! Well, sorta kinda. At least for today. Life has been busy, busy so I haven’t had much time to devote to food blogging. My dear friend had me over for lunch this last week and she had made this incredible Asian Chicken and Orzo Salad from Paula Deen. Oh my! It’s fabulous. […]
I adore S’mores! But only when they are done correctly. To me that means a golden brown and gooey marshmallow. Not charred. Roasting a perfect marshmallow takes practice. Fortunately for me I am married to a man who worked as a Camp Counselor for 7 summers and he’s got his marshmallow roasting technique down to […]
Confession time. I am currently obsessed with Sliders! I am not sure where it comes from honestly. But to me eating something tiny like a slider is WAY more enjoyable than eating one big burger or sandwich. I have made delicious meatball sliders found here, burger sliders and ham and swiss sliders. All 3 were […]
