Strawberry Sorbet
Summer’s here! At least it is in Georgia. It is HOT here. I know people said it would be hot already, but really? This hot? We’ll see if I’m cut out for the southern life. To cool down and to test out my fantastic new ice cream maker, I made this easy sorbet. It’s simple […]
Readers: Come back to me!
Sweet readers, Once again, I find myself apologizing to all of you for not being around. We just moved into our new house in Georgia a few days ago, so my life looks like this: And I’ve been working on it, but I spend a lot of time trying to make my baby boy look […]
Tuesdays With Dorie: Chockablock Cookies
This was all that was left of this batch of cookies when I realized I hadn’t taken a photo of them. I’m lucky I remembered before the last bite! Needless to say, they were delicious. This week’s TWD- Chockablock cookies- was chosen by Popsicles and Sandy Feet. These cookies are so full of add-ins- a […]
Last Tuesday With Dorie: Swedish Visiting Cake
So this isn’t actually this week’s TWD, it’s last week’s. Forgive me? I’m working on cleaning out our fridge and pantry before the move, so this cake was much easier for me to throw together than the sweet cream biscuits for this week (no cream!). This cake was as easy to pull together as the […]
Balsamic Glazed Asparagus
Life around the house has been pretty crazy lately. Between the new baby, packing for our move to Georgia and saying goodbye to friends, there hasn’t been too much time to experiment with new recipes. I have been cooking, but it’s pre-move cooking; which means cleaning out the fridge and freezer and using every last […]
Look what we baked!
So here’s what I’ve been doing for the past two weeks- staring at this guy! After 41 weeks and 26 hours of labor (a beautiful, natural birth!), we are so glad he’s finally here. Baby E- born March 12 at 11:09PM; 8 lb 6 oz and 21 inches. As the hubs would say, “we […]
TWD: Thumbprints for Us Big Guys
This week’s TWD is Thumbprints For Us Big Guys, chosen by the Ugly Food Dude. They are super easy cookies- I just made them like 20 minutes ago, and here they are! I made 1/4 of the recipe and used almond meal instead of hazelnuts, since I that’s what I had on hand, and it’s […]
Apple Streusel Bars
I wish I had more to say about this recipe. It was really, really yummy. We shared it with some friends this weekend and I’ll definitely make it again- I had everything on hand that I needed. I wish I had more to say, but all I can think about is this baby still […]
Whole Wheat Spaghetti Carbonara
In our house, pasta is usually topped with red sauce. Hubs is a big fan of marinara, any type of chunky tomato sauce, and occasionally vodka sauce, if I’m lucky. Every once in a while, I can convince him to let me make a white sauce, but not often! Not only is he a bigger […]
TWD: Toasted Coconut Tartlets
Another yummy treat from TWD: Toasted Coconut Custard Tart, picked by Cinemon Girl. I decided to make tiny tartlets instead of a full-sized tart- they’re so cute and little! The recipe was easy to pull together. The only thing I left out was the rum- I added some coconut extract instead to up the […]
