Every monkey bread recipe I've ever seen is made with butter and brown sugar resulting in a caramel covered pull apart bread. This recipe intrigued me because of its main ingredient. Lemon. Lemon? Yes indeed. It is a bright fresh citrus bread drizzled with butter, lemony sugar and a sweet glaze. Lemon is so vibrant… Continue reading Lemon Monkey Bread
Chicken Pot Pie
Homemade chicken pot pie rocks my world. It shouldn't even be called the same food as those store bought frozen bricks masquerading as pot pies. You know the ones I'm talking about. Green box. Frozen food aisle. If you think those are tasty, it's because you have never had the pleasure of a real food… Continue reading Chicken Pot Pie
Fried Mozzarella Balls
I have tried the fried cheese at just about every restaurant in the Seattle area. I love it. In sticks, wedges or balls. With marinara, sprinkled with parmesan, panko, breadcrumbs or beer battered. I would eat it in a box. I would eat it with a fox. I would eat it here or there. I… Continue reading Fried Mozzarella Balls
Zucchini Pizzas
Stay with me. I know the title of this recipe sounds a little odd. But I promise, these are delicious. Sort of like a deep-fried zucchini meets a pepperoni pizza. In one delicious mouthful. Not much goes better with a lazy Sunday watching football than pizza. Unfortunately, I've already way surpassed my quota for slices… Continue reading Zucchini Pizzas
Ridiculously Easy Homemade Doughnuts
Or, donuts...if you prefer it that way. Whichever way you like, these are amazingly good. They quite possibly belong atop my ease/deliciousness chart. Whenever I make something, I mentally rate it on a scale of how simple or difficult the recipe is versus how delicious the food turns out. No, I'm not OCD enough to… Continue reading Ridiculously Easy Homemade Doughnuts
Spiced Honey Lemon Chicken & Sweet Caramelized Brussels Sprouts
I realized the other day (with horror) that I have never made brussels sprouts. Maybe a carry-over from childhood rearing it's ugly head in my adult life? I didn't like them when I was little - really the only veggie I have no taste for - so I've never thought to make them for my… Continue reading Spiced Honey Lemon Chicken & Sweet Caramelized Brussels Sprouts
Orange Creamsicle Cookies
What's orange and white and delicious all over? Ok. Besides candy corn. Creamsicles!! Fresh orange sherbet with creamy vanilla ice cream. Cold and melty and just perfect. For summer. So why am I making a creamsicle cookie in the midst of a snow threat? Well, it's simple really. During the winter I keep my house… Continue reading Orange Creamsicle Cookies
Vegetable and Four Cheese Stuffed Shells
Boy, the Italians sure know what they are doing with food. I could stay happily fed for the rest of my life with all the varieties of cheese, pasta and red sauce from that region. This by far my favorite vegetarian dinner. Full of spinach and broccoli and oozing with cheesy goodness wrapped in a… Continue reading Vegetable and Four Cheese Stuffed Shells
Churros
What happens when a girl who loves Disneyland has leftover cinnamon sugar? She makes churros. I have been longing for Disneyland churros for about two weeks now. They are my absolute favorite thing to eat there. Well, the Pomme Frites from Cafe Orleans are also amazing. And I do love a frosty Dole Whip. But… Continue reading Churros
Chicken Corn Chowder
Oh the humanity!! Protect your children!! It's (insert dramatic pause and deep announcers voice) Snowmageddon 2012!! It's not often that Seattle gets snow. It's even less frequent that we get pounded with a snowstorm that leaves anything but a trace of the white stuff. However, I currently have 8 inches blanketing my neighborhood with a… Continue reading Chicken Corn Chowder
