I went to the grocery store yesterday for a major shopping. We were out of just about everything and it made everything seem appealing to me. They happened to have some great looking ground lamb. I immediately thought of this lamb kebab recipe that I had seen on Jamie at Home. J gave me the…

I make chocolate crackle cookies every year. They are probably the most requested thing that I bake. I have to say people seriously love them. Martha Stewart’s recipe is the best if you prefer a fudgey cookie over cakey. One year, I was making them for something and I was completely out of cocoa. I…

I was looking around the kitchen tonight trying to decide what to put in our ‘breakfast for dinner’ pancakes. I almost went the apple route but I have been putting apples in just about everything lately. I almost always keep bacon in the freezer, and crispy bacon sounded like the perfect thing. These were pretty…

Yes, another apple recipe! Apples are to fall what zucchini was to summer…readily available, fairly inexpensive and good in just about everything! This version of apple crisp is not too sweet and doesn’t need to be saved for dessert. It makes a really good breakfast or an afternoon snack. I used Spartan apples in this…

Most of the vegetables used come from J’s uncle’s overflowing garden. He gave us: tomatoes, zucchini,…

We eat pancakes almost every weekend. J loves them and over time, I have come to love them too. He would eat plain unadorned pancakes with a little maple syrup every weekend. However, I have a need to add something to them: pecans, blueberries, spices, bananas…you name it. We were out of maple syrup this…

I finished my first Barefoot Bloggers recipe just under the wire! In fact, I am eating this as I write this, and it is goooood. I mean homemade mac n’ cheese with bacon and basil of course it’s good! I love Ina Garten’s recipes, and her show Barefoot Contessa is one of the few redeeming…

I participated in the second round of Operation Baking GALS sending cookies and baked goods to the troops. I heard about this through the Daring Bakers boards, and it seemed like a good reason to bake a bunch of cookies. Dorie Greenspan recently did a post about the group that you can read here. The…
