There are many things that I don’t ever really remember eating until I met my husband. It’s not because he had pushed them on me, more along the lines that I had never eaten them growing up. Like mac and cheese, chicken and sour cream enchiladas, banana pancakes… I had never eaten or even thought… Read more
Using Corn Tortillas
Sometimes there are things that you do on a day to day basis that seem so natural, so obvious, that sometimes it escapes you that others might not know something that you think is… Well obvious. One of them was brought to my attention some time ago when I went to a new-ish friend’s house… Read more
Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas
My husband is convinced that I’m really not half Scot and half Mutt. He’s convinced that I’m actually half Mexican and Italian, mostly because those are two of my favorite types of cuisine to cook. I think he would have added some sort of reference to baking, but there isn’t a cultural cuisine that is… Read more
Spoiled Me
I’m spoiled. I admit that. And unfortunately its painfully obvious to me. Not long ago I decided to try my hand at baking yeast breads. It was definitely a learning experience. In the end I came across The Fresh Loaf and found this delicious thing. Forgive the weird neon picture, it was taken with an… Read more
Hot Fudge Sauce
I have a confession. It’s rather sad but true. I’m really not that big of a chocolate person. Does that make me less of a woman? When looking at a dessert or something sweet, I never really went for the chocolate. Sure there was the required Snickers bar in the morning during high school for… Read more
Better Homes And Garden New Cook Book
I made some brownies a little bit ago and I had some difficulty finding a recipe for it! It’s not the fact that there wasn’t ONE recipe for them, there were about 50 (I have lots of cook books). After going through so many of my books, I took the recipe from Better Homes and… Read more
Mac And Cheese
This really has to be one of my husbands favorite dishes. He LOVES mac and cheese when we get it at restaurants or fast food. Honestly? I don’t think I had ever eaten mac and cheese growing up. Yes, I was a weird one.
Something Terrible
Something terrible has been happening to me lately. I’ve noticed differences in my mind, taste, and body that are impossible to ignore. It’s changing. In general, I HATE CHANGE with a vengeance. But this change seems to be something my body wants to do, and therefore is enforcing on me without my real knowing.
Baking For Furry Friends
I love our dog. One of the greatest things about cooking and baking is doing it for someone you love. Even if that someone is covered in fur. I wanted to start making my own dog treats for her when she went though some really icky dental problems. She lost quite a few teeth and… Read more
Raspberry Coffee Cake – Feeding The Soul
Work has really been evil for me lately. My schedule got knocked around majorly, I now have to be at work at 5:00am. Because of my commute I have to leave at 4:20am. I have to wake up by 3:10am to go shower. Yeah, its early and yeah it sucks. Hopefully it’ll only be temporary.… Read more
