Now I’m really not sure what to call this, its not quite a thick chili, but its a little thicker than a soup and rather than just call it a sili I can’t think of anything that’s not so…silly. Most of the time I just refer to it as a stew then try to explain… Read more

Roasted Tomato Soup
I got more tomatoes! This time they came from another coworker and he gave me quite the bag of them! There seems to be such a difference in people’s gardening styles. The first tomatoes I got from my friend were soft, fully ripened and ready to eat. This second batch I got from another coworker… Read more
Tomato Basil Soup
Its tomato season! It seems everyone is having the same problem of tomatoes or other produce just running wild in their gardens. Which means I benefit by having everyone give me bags and containers of tomatoes! Tomato season now makes me so excited, ever since my coworker brought me home grown tomatoes for the first… Read more
Stuffed French Toast
I’m strange. I admit it. I like trying to make something that I have never ever tried. Most of the time I try to make something because its something my DH loves, but then its sometimes where I think “Mmmmm… this could be good…” and do it anyways. A little bit of soul cooking, a… Read more
Cinnamon Granola
I can’t eat normal cereal you buy at the store. Technically I can eat it, I do have teeth and all, but I can’t eat it because of the sugar content. I don’t have any medical reason for being sensitive to sugar (I just have a physical to make sure) but the only thing we… Read more
Chili Lime Marinade
I love the grill. I love grilled food. Steaks, chicken, fish (when I wasn’t allergic to it), all sorts of meats and even sometimes the occasional grilled portabello. But there is one very strange and sad thing about it. I’m afraid of the grill. I think it stems from my parents gas BBQ. It had… Read more
Fresh Pasta
Now I have my pasta attachments for the KitchenAid mixer, I can make the pasta a heck of a lot easier than before with that stupid manual machine. I would relegate it to the craft area of my life but without the crank handle its just a door stop. But now on to the pasta.… Read more
Un-Stuffed Bell Pepper
Sometimes I get a hankering for something and decide that I need to make it. Usually what I want to make I actually haven’t eaten before. Like meatballs. Or stuffed bell pepper. So I tried making a stuffed bell pepper dish. It was alright, nothing to write home about. But I then realized that I… Read more
Buttermilk Pancakes
I’ve wanted to make great pancakes forever. I mean really great pancakes that you can’t get enough of and absolutely must have every single day. I haven’t quite got there, but I’ve gotten pretty darn close to it. I’ve made pancakes with banana, milk, everything but the actual ingredient that I SHOULD have used. Buttermilk.
Cranberry Turkey Sandwich
This sandwich was the whole reason behind making the cranberry sauce a few weeks ago. I think it has something to do with the fact that now my random craving/want has changed from chocolate. Now, its cream cheese. It’s really random to have that switch, but I’ve done worse.
