Griddle Burgers These burgers are my absolute favorite to make year round. I’m not big on the super thick home-made style burger full of onions and spices. I like my burger meat thinish and tasting like meat. Then I cover it with mustard, ketchup, relish, mayo, tomato and sometimes dill pickel. Maybe I’m not such…
2 Tomato Salads
Here are two of our favorite summer salads. Nothing beats bright, fresh, ripe tomatoes, and once you start pairing those with the tang of viniger and the crunch of cucumber. It’s over! Tomato, Mozzarella and Basil Salad with Balsamic Glaze Prep Time: 5 minutes Serves: 6 Ingredients: 1 or 2 large beefsteak tomato 1 pint cherry…
Chicken with 40 Cloves
This is one of Bo and my favorite “nice” dinners. By “nice” I mean better then meatloaf and not cooked often enough. Really though, it’s so easy to make, and now that I’ve figured out a version with chicken pieces as an alternative to a whole chicken when you’re in a bit more of a rush? Well,…
Puffy Oven Pancakes
Puffy Oven Pancakes (aka Dutch Babies… you can’t make that kinda thing up!) This is absolutly one of my favorite breakfasts to make. It’s Oliver approved too, always a bonus! Plus, there are a bunch of different variations you can make on it. Here we go:
Ugh.
I have been just so, so sick this week. I came down with something Friday night, and it’s just gotten worse, so nothing’s been updated. (sorry) I do have a couple waiting in the wings though, and I’ll get them up as soon as I can say supercalafragalisticexpialadoshus without starting a coughing fit. I’m hoping…
Show Stopper Roast Chicken
I call this my show stopper because is tastes like I put hours of planning and effort into figuring out the perfect combination of accouterments to highlight the bird, when really, I got lucky about 5 years ago on my first shot and haven’t looked back. Sure, I’ve tried variations, but I always come back…
My Cheddar (not Bay) Biscuits and My (not Bisquick) Biscuit Mix
So, I’m pregnant, and being so I get cravings. Frequently this time around, and a couple of weeks ago all I wanted were the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay biscuits. I’d been down this road before, and I’ve tried many of the online versions only to be disappointed, so at least I knew what not to…
Nan’s Buttertarts
Buttertarts This is my great-grandmothers recipe for buttertarts, and it’s so simple that I almost feel like they can’t possibly be as good as they are. And they are good. I’m currently trying to find a fair to enter them in (because yeah, on my bucket list, right next to making it into the Guiness Book…
The Oreo Story
First of all, I suck, because I don’t update this. And that’s a horrible thing, because I have a terrible memory, so besides not keeping a record of my favorite recipes, I’m also losing that record of all the mundane things that go on in our house. Not today though, because last night something so…
mmmm
So, pregnancy is apparently making me not update this very often. Truth be told, I don’t think it’s the pregnancy, I think it’s the impending Christmas. You see, I’m hosting Christmas dinner, and I thought this was fantastic, until it started getting close. And I remembered that I had a 17 month old. And then I got…
Quick update
God I’ve been tired. So, so, so, so, so, so tired. Sorry. I’ve just been REALLY tired. That’s why there’s been no updates. Who updates blogs nowadays anyway? Sigh. So, updates to come tomorrow, including a crying Oliver is a snow suit, a crying Oliver with Santa, a crying Oliver with a cookie… Wait, I’m…
Why… WHY
Why can’t I stunt his growth? Why does my boy insist on growing up so quickly, and doing such “kid” things? What happened to my baby? I miss my baby. A couple of weeks ago he decided to start drinking from a straw. Now it’s juice boxes, all on his own, without spilling a drop anywhere….
Breakfast in the K house
Nov. 9, 2010 These are old. But they’re great, so I had to play catch-up. I meant to post them a while ago but they just got lost on my computer, the abyss the it is. Here’s my guy, getting my other guy some much wanted milk. And here’s my guy yelling at me for taking the…
Freaked out
Ok, so I’m a little freaked out. I just noticed one of those weird things that you notice in life that just kinda confound you. Yesterday I posted my dang it post about the brown butter fried gnocchi at 9:13am. Today I posted the actual recipe for brown butter fried gnocchi at 9:13am I hate…
Chocolate Zucchini and Apple Bread
Chocolate Zucchini Apple Bread I’m asking a favor today: Don’t judge me because I give this to Oliver for breakfast, and snack, and just whenever he wants it. Ignore the chocolate and focus on the fact that it’s full of zucchini and applesauce. And it’s delicious. So, so delicious! Prep Time: 20 minutes Bake Time: 60 minutes Makes: 2…
I think
I think… That today I would much rather be in bed then at work. With Oliver perhaps. Watching some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. And maybe we could go downstairs at some point and make a mess of something (you’d hardly notice with the state my house is currently in). I think that we would make cookies,…
