The Sunday Soup Pot: Chicken and White Bean Soup
We all know how much I love soup. And Martha. I found a Martha recipe for 15-Minute White Bean Soup, and planned on making it today. Then I decided to switch it up, and create my own version of the soup. Nick and I loved the flavor- a real step up from basic chicken noodle! […]
Appetizers Galore: The Joey Eric Holiday Party
Yesterday, I provided the food for a holiday party at Joey Eric, a ladies’ clothing boutique in Dayton. I work part-time at Joey Eric, so my boss and I decided on a menu together. Though the turnout was a lot smaller than expected, the food was enjoyed and it was a good experience for me. […]
Dorie Rewind: Linzer Sables
After all of the Dorie skipping I did last month, I was not about to slack on these tiny little beauties. Yes, I am posting eight days late, but yesterday was a Double Dorie Tuesday, and I wanted to share these with you! For the dough, I opted for walnuts. I wasn’t sure if I […]
Tuesdays with Dorie: Grandma’s All-Occasion Sugar Cookies
This week’s host at Kuchenlatein chose Dorie’s Grandma’s All-Occasion Sugar Cookies for Tuesdays with Dorie. I made these little rounds for my book club yesterday, and they were a hit! Instead of using cookie cutters, I took Dorie’s “playing around” advice and used slice and bake cookies. Before slicing, I rolled them in sugar for […]
Photo Flashback
I’m feeling nostalgic for some photographs with natural light.. these winter photos have been miserable. So enjoy these little beauties. Happy Sunday!
How to Organize My Recipes
I’ve been thinking about a way to organize all of my recipes. I’d like to create some kind of recipe database that I can search through and organize by category. I found this review of some recipe software. Has anyone used this? Big Oven? Living Cookbook? Do they work?
Update: My New Obsession
So, I think I want to be a caterer. Recently, I was asked to unofficially cater two events for my boutique, Joey Eric. That same day, I offered to take care of all the food preparations for my soon-to-be sister-in-law’s bridal shower. At first, I was just excited at the prospect of coming up with […]
Pizza in a Bowl: Pasta with Turkey Meatballs and Bocconcini
I love these turkey meatballs. Frankly, they’re the only meatballs I’ll make. Unless you ask me nicely, then obviously I would make you real meatballs. The point is: I love these. You can use them in so many different ways! I used to make them back in Philly, and they’re still my standby. We had […]
You Want Pies With That?: Blue Christmas Blueberry Tarts
Is it just me, or does it seem like I’ve joined a lot of baking groups? I don’t think it’s just me. Anyways, this is another new one called You Want Pies With That?, inspired by Keri Russell’s pie-making in the movie Waitress (which I adore, by the way). This month’s challenge was to create […]
Take-In: Moo Shu Pork
I had no idea moo shu pork was this good. This was the first time Nick and I have tried it, and it was super tasty! The flour tortillas (seems weird, I know) and Hoisin sauce are essential and delicious. The egg part was simple- just make sure that you don’t brown it too much.I […]
