I really love Asian food. When we go out for Asian food, we always go to a Thai restaurant…Thai is my absolute favorite! The only Chinese restaurant I like is one little joint in Baton Rouge, LA, which has national acclaim. All other Chinese restaurants scare me–either the smell of the restaurant […]

I found this recipe over at the Picky Palate food blog, and this afternoon my kiddos and I made it, and it was delicious. Not surprisingly it is grown up and kid approved! It’s really easy to make, but mine took a lot longer to bake than the directions indicate.

Pasta with Lemon Cream Sauce, Asparagus, and Peas
Published by February 27th, 2008 in Italian, Poultry, Vegetarian, Quick and Easy, 4 Stars, Cooking Light, Easy Preparation and Pasta. 2 CommentsI love asparagus, but unfortunately I’m the only one in our house that with this love. So, with -s out of town, I tried a new yummy recipe from Cooking Light’s August 2007 issue. I was going to add chicken, but I was too lazy. Chicken would be a most delicious addition. […]
Dill Potato Salad

Baked Fish with Dill Sour Cream Sauce
Published by February 23rd, 2008 in Fish, Quick and Easy, 4 Stars, Easy Preparation and Sauce. 1 CommentI found this recipe on the Closet Cooking food blog, and we tried it tonight. It was really tasty. When we cook fish, we usually cook salmon or steelhead trout, but tonight we used haddock. I think this sauce will be even better on the trout or salmon. When we lived […]
Chicken Posole
Published by February 22nd, 2008 in Mexican/Southwest/Tex-Mex, Poultry, Soups and Chilis, One Pot, 4 Stars, Family Recipe, Crock Pot, Easy Preparation and Heart Healthy. 4 CommentsI love posole, and most recipes I come across use pork. Since we don’t eat much pork, I usually pass those recipes by. I found a vegetarian recipe on the Taste and Tell food blog, and I decided to use that recipe as inspiration for my own chicken posole. It turned out […]
Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar

We found this recipe years ago at a Texas cooking site and have been making them ever since. They are easy to make, and since there’s no egg in the dough, it’s a great recipe for kids to help make. Both of our kiddos like to taste as […]
