This is just a simple and quick recipe for BBQ Sauce. There are much more complex recipes out there, but since I use this whenever I'm basting things for a long time (like in a crock pot), I don't bother with a lot of fuss. BBQ Sauce 1/2 cup ketchup 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2… Continue reading BBQ Sauce

Split Pea Soup
My mom has made split pea soup as long as I can remember. The giant pot simmering away on the stove would waft deliciousness all day. Is there a better smell than ham cooking? When I got a hankering for her amazing soup and called for her recipe, I got the bad news. There is… Continue reading Split Pea Soup
Perfect Dinner Rolls
I love love love my new bread machine. It's so easy to just throw all the ingredients in, turn it on and have beautiful dough. The recipe for these rolls is pretty time-consuming - only because you have to allow it to rise three times. You don't really have to do anything with the dough… Continue reading Perfect Dinner Rolls
Biscuits and Gravy
This is probably my favorite indulgent food. I love biscuits. I love meat. I love gravy. This combines all three in a perfect heart attack waiting to happen. But they are sooooooooooo good. Biscuits and gravy are something that can feed a crowd with minimal work during your party too. You can make everything the… Continue reading Biscuits and Gravy
Clone of a Cinnabon
I used to love Cinnabon. Really, I still do. I just can't afford them anymore. Financially or physically. For a playoff Sunday of football, I figured I could make an exception. At least on the physical part. These are exactly like the real thing - and a dozen don't cost anywhere CLOSE to $30. Best… Continue reading Clone of a Cinnabon
Sicky Sickerson
Well, it's official. I think I'm finally getting over the cold/cough that has kept me bedridden the majority of the past week. I don't even know what day it is today...and haven't left the warm snuggly of my bed for more than an hour or so in about 5 days. My poor kids have been… Continue reading Sicky Sickerson
SEAHAWKS!!
For a week now I've listened to broadcasters, sports reporters, ESPN analysts, coaches and players alike all saying the Hawks had virtually no chance to beat the "Defending Superbowl Champion New Orleans Saints". A perfect storm of circumstances would have to come together in order for the lowly 7-9 Seattle squad to have any remote… Continue reading SEAHAWKS!!
Apple Carrot Bran Muffins
We are having an aerobics session at tomorrow's MOPS. And, my table is on tap for breakfast foods. I figured I should bring something that's not laden with sugar, butter and cheese. Drat. These muffins totally fit the bill. They are chock full of fruits and veggies - and almost no fat! They are moist,… Continue reading Apple Carrot Bran Muffins
Awesomely Good Blueberry Muffins
Ok. This is way more like it. I decided to whip up another batch of muffins. I couldn't just let my baking failure stay with me all day long. Since I didn't have anymore sour cream and didn't want to make a trip to the store, I used this recipe instead of trying the other… Continue reading Awesomely Good Blueberry Muffins
Vegetarian Chickpea Sandwich Filling
Normally, I'm a meat, meat and more meat kind of gal. I have zero interest in becoming a vegetarian. However, in an effort not to become completely bored to death with turkey sandwiches (my standard lunch fare when trying to drop a few pounds) - I went searching for something new. I stumbled upon this… Continue reading Vegetarian Chickpea Sandwich Filling
