One of -s’s coworkers requested that we make the grand prize 2008 Pillsbury bake-off recipe: double-delight peanut butter cookies.
I thought they tasted very good. They are kind of a cross between a peanut butter cookie and a snickerdoodle. -s didn’t really care for them too much, but our daughter LOVES them.
I found them […]

Double-Delight Peanut Butter Cookies

Published by April 30th, 2008 in Asian, Poultry and 3 Stars. 0 CommentsLast night I made another curry from The Curry Book by Nancie McDermott. It was pretty good, and the kiddos even ate it, but I think -s and I were looking for a bolder flavor. This may be a dish that’s just better at a Thai restaurant. Sometimes, especially with Thai food, […]
Korean Beef BBQ and Korean Cucumber Salad
Published by April 28th, 2008 in Asian, Beef, 4 Stars, Kid Approved, Entertaining, Salad and Sides. 0 CommentsI love cooking Asian food, and I do believe this was my first attempt at Korean inspired cuisine. It was so delicious, and the ENTIRE family not only ate it but LOVED it! I found the beef recipe at recipezaar and the salad recipe is from the June 2007 issue of Cooking Light.

Sweet and Sour Sauce
Published by April 28th, 2008 in Asian, Quick and Easy, 4 Stars, Kid Approved, Easy Preparation and Sauce. 0 CommentsNo this isn’t a recipe for egg rolls. I bought some fresh egg rolls at the store, and at the last minute I decided to find a sweet and sour recipe. Gotta love the internet! I clicked on the first recipe that came up in my google search, and a few minutes […]
Angel Hair with Checca Sauce
Published by April 28th, 2008 in Italian, Quick and Easy, 4 Stars, Giadia de Laurentiis, Kid Approved, Easy Preparation, Sauce and Pasta. 0 CommentsI saw Giada prepare this recipe years ago on her show “Everyday Italian.” The recipe is also in her Everyday Italian cookbook. I thought it sounded delicious, so I wrote down the recipe. I’ve been meaning to make it for quite some time, but every time basil is bountiful in the garden […]
Daring Baker’s: Cheesecake Pops
Published by April 27th, 2008 in Dessert, 3 Stars, Chocolate and Daring Bakers. 4 CommentsHere is my very first Daring Baker’s Challenge! These Cheesecake Pops were fun to make and real big hit with -s’s co-workers. -s and I are kind of cheesecake snobs, and the cheesecake wasn’t our favorite…too eggy for our taste, but they are a real crowd pleaser. If we make this one […]

This dish quickly became a family favorite. I haven’t made it in years, so I decided to make it tonight with a few changes, and we all loved it…it’s super kid friendly and very tasty!
Ingredients:
1 can (20 oz.) Pineapple chunks, […]
Turkey Chili Mac

I found a Chili Mac recipe in Beth Hensperger’s Not Your Mother’s Slow Cooker Recipes for Two cookbook which sounded interesting. I changed up the original version quite a bit to create my own Chili Mac, and it turned out quite tasty. […]
Super Easy Fudge with Marshmallows
Published by April 24th, 2008 in Dessert, Quick and Easy, 4 Stars, Family Recipe, Kid Approved, Entertaining, Easy Preparation and Chocolate. 0 CommentsI’ve never attempted fudge before, but I have heard that it can be difficult to make…depending on the weather, it might not set etc. I saw a recipe on the back of a store brand marshmallow package, which gave me the inspiration to create my own version, and it was so easy to make, […]
Blast From the Past: A Mexican Meal
Published by April 22nd, 2008 in Mexican/Southwest/Tex-Mex, 5 Stars, Crock Pot, Sauce, Sides and Salsa. 1 CommentBefore we left Salem, Oregon for Arkansas, I did some food writing for the local paper. Unfortunately, those features are no longer available on the websites, so I’m going to pull up the drafts and put them on here. The only difference between what you see and what was published will be from […]
