You are going to hate me for giving you this recipe. Either that, or you'll want to erect a monument in your town square. Possibly to me. More likely to these peanut butter bars. They are amazing. In every way. Totally easy. 5 minutes into the pan, no baking easy. Sinfully delicious. I am not… Continue reading Reese’s Peanut Butter Bars
Fruit Salsa & Cinnamon Chips
I was trying to sort thru some old photos on my computer today when I came across a few I didn't even remember taking. Also, about 20,000 pictures of my kids. Wow. It's a wonder they aren't blind from all the flash bulbs going off in their faces. I apparently took pictures of food well… Continue reading Fruit Salsa & Cinnamon Chips
Honeyed Apple Peanut Butter Tart
Let's face it. My kids have more access to treats and sweet delights than most little munchkins do. I'm always baking something and although my daughter (in general) has her father's sweet tooth - or lack thereof - my son LOVES everything I make. He would eat baked goods all day every day if I… Continue reading Honeyed Apple Peanut Butter Tart
Marinated Flank Steak – Carne Asada
I will never be a vegetarian. Unless the world runs out of cows. In that case, I'd be motivated enough to figure out a way to repopulate the species. Just so I could have this steak. I love it. It makes me happy. You don't have to wait until summer to BBQ ya' know. I… Continue reading Marinated Flank Steak – Carne Asada
Valentine’s Day Butter Mints
I think of butter mints alongside turkey and stuffing, not hearts and flowers. Thanksgiving always meant butter mints when I was a kid. My Nanny (English grandmother, not baby-sitter) would have a bowl of them sitting on top of her giant TV, temptingly out of reach. It was the best turkey day ever when I… Continue reading Valentine’s Day Butter Mints
Lizzy’s Cowboy Salsa
Is there someone in your life who seems perpetually stuck at a certain age? Until recently, I've always thought of my baby sister as the age she was when I left home. In my mind she just kind of stopped growing up. Probably because I didn't see her every day, I got involved in my… Continue reading Lizzy’s Cowboy Salsa
Puff Pastry Pinwheels
Gorgeous food makes a bad day better. It makes a good day amazing. Beautiful breakfast treats can change your whole outlook by setting your mood from the first tweet of the morning songbirds. These pinwheels look really impressive but are totally quick and easy to create. They would make an excellent addition to your next… Continue reading Puff Pastry Pinwheels
Streusel Topped Coffee Cake Muffins
Is it wrong to use Paula Dean cupcake holders when making a Martha Stewart recipe? I hope not. Cause if these coffee cake muffins are wrong, I don't want to be right. Coffee cake is superb in general, but individualized servings in a sweet cupcake wrapper is just downright evil. Resistance is futile when you… Continue reading Streusel Topped Coffee Cake Muffins
Homemade Mini-Corndogs
My kids LOVE corndogs. They would eat them breakfast, lunch and dinner if I let them. Seriously. If I ever make the mistake of asking what they want to eat, the unanimous enthusiastic response is CORNDOGS!! Here's the problem-o though. My kids are still young enough that I'm paranoid about them choking on a hot… Continue reading Homemade Mini-Corndogs
Cranberry Orange Loaf
Why is it things called "loaf" are usually disgusting? Pimento loaf? Olive loaf? <shudder> Those hunks of oddly studded meat at the deli give me the heebie-jeebies. Today I made a loaf of deliciousness that is completely un-gross. Actually, it is exquisite. Beautifully flavored with slightly sweet orange and temptingly tart cranberries, this gorgeous bread… Continue reading Cranberry Orange Loaf
