Tuesdays with Dorie: Rice Pudding

So I’ve been a little delinquent in my Tuesdays with Dorie posts this month due to some personal issues, but I’m glad to say I’m back this week! I didn’t end up making the pudding until about an hour ago, so the pictures are crappy and they aren’t of the finished product- the pudding is […]

Casual Weekend Dinner: Lighter Beef Chili and Cheesy Cornbread

I love entertaining: I love cooking for anyone who will let me feed them. On Friday, I got to cook for Sam, one of Nick’s old friends from the Academy. I decided to make chili and cornbread. Both recipes are new- Nick and Sam were my recipe guinea pigs. The cornbread recipe is actually from […]

Kayleigh tries her recipe!

So my little darling ran to Acme this weekend to make her recipe. (Confused? See this post.) She sent me some pictures – see below.. Apparently, Acme had everything but the capellini. I was close! Thanks for the step-by-step pictures, Kay. 🙂 You documented this recipe better than I did! A little veggie saute action. […]

For Kayleigh: Creamy Cheese Capellini

To all my Oven Lovers: FYI.

Just so you know, I’ll be taking some time off from the blog for personal reasons. I’ll be back as soon as I can.

Warm Your Bones: Beef Stew

Even when I’m under the weather, I like to cook. It feels normal, and sometimes the steam and heat in my little kitchen help to clear my system. This afternoon, I gave this beef stew recipe a try. My dad has a wonderful beef stew recipe, but I neglected to ask him for it the […]

Classic Sick Day: Chicken Soup

Here I am. Sick, sick, sick. I usually don’t get sick – it’s not really my thing. But I am, and all I could think about making for myself was chicken soup. I didn’t have my grandmother’s recipe on hand for chicken corn soup, so I found this recipe from Martha. It was just what […]

Throwback Recipe: Blackened Catfish

I made this recipe ages ago, but I never had the chance to post about it. I love fish, but the commissary has a terrible selection, so it’s rare that we find good fish. I’m actually thinking about switching to a new grocery store because of it! On this occasion, I found two decent pieces […]

Tuesdays With Dorie: Regrets

I can’t make it to the grocery store until tomorrow.3. My house is in Cupcake Overload! See the entries on […]
