Vacation!
Oven Love is going on vacation to Italy! I had some grand ideas about setting up blog posts while we’re away, but I just didn’t get to it. Instead, I’ll make you a list of fun things you’ll be seeing when I get back, and some links to my favorite blogs to keep you busy […]
August PMOW Round Up: Granola Bars
August’s PMOW was a quick challenge. I only gave a week’s notice! I thought I would get zero participation, but these ladies were up for the challenge. Check out this month’s granola bar entries: Cranberry Coconut Granola Bars from My Kitchen Addiction Fruit and Nut Granola Bars from Tuffet Blog Mango Cranberry Granola Bars from […]
Summer Treat: Berry Lemonade
One of my favorite recipes from my grandparents’ party was the berry lemonade. It was the first time I’ve ever made lemonade from scratch- not so hard, as it turns out. The sweetness of the berries balances the tartness of the lemonade and the the color is gorgeous. My favorite part was serving them up […]
Party Time!
This weekend, I helped my family to throw a surprise party celebrating my grandparents’ 60th anniversary and their 80th birthdays. I got to plan the menu (which also came along with the responsibility of making it all.. whew!). I wanted to share with you some of the fun stuff we made- I’ll share some of […]
Pennsylvania Dutch Cooking: Ham and Green Beans
I’m a Pennsylvania girl. And not only that, I’m a Pennsylvania Dutch girl. I grew up right in the middle of Lancaster county, aka Amish Country USA. There are lots of old PA Dutch recipes that no one has heard of.. Shoofly Pie, Chicken Pot Pie without the crust (far superior to crusted pot pie), […]
TWD: Brownie Buttons
Brownie Buttons: fun! Jayma at Two Scientists Experimenting in the Kitchen picked these little cuties this week. I decided to include the orange flavor, but I used extract instead of zest. I also subbed dark chocolate for the white chocolate on top. I was hoping they would puff up a little more than they did, […]
PMOW Soft Pretzel Round Up
Well, July’s PMOW participation was a little down, but I think that’s due to my reduced posting. Though the bakers were few, the pretzels were many! We used Alton Brown’s recipe, which you can find here on the original challenge post. I think everyone was satisfied with their results. I know I’ve tried other soft […]
Best Quick Pizza Dough
Everyone loves pizza. It’s basically the law. I have been craving lots of pizza lately, but didn’t build up the energy to make this recipe until last night. The best thing about this pizza dough recipe is that you can use it right away, and you’ll have your pizza in under 30 minutes- which is […]
Sweet Cherry Hand Pies
It’s been rough in the kitchen these days.Nothing appeals. Luckily, I had an occasion to bake for last week, and I made these little beauties. Sweet cherry hand pies. Perfect for parties and get togethers where slicing up a pie seems like too much work or too messy. The crust is fabulous. Kudos to Smitten […]
Roasted Spring Vegetable Salad with Chicken
I (normally) love a good salad. I made this salad a few weeks ago, while I was still eating normal things. I was inspired by the veggies we got from our CSA one day- green beans, potatoes and zucchini- and decided to roast them up and put them on a salad. I really love warm […]
