Truth be told, sandwiches are probably my favorite food. (Don't tell pizza I said that.) They're so versatile: they're great for any meal of the day, hot or cold, no dishes, portable, the list goes on. If you had a chance to see the new movie, Chef, by Jon Favreau, then you know exactly why I...
Garlic Parmesan Kettle Chips
Sometimes when I'm having a bad day, I feel like I need to bake something. Other times, when I'm having a REALLY bad day, I feel like I need to pullout the big guns and deep fry something. Yesterday was one of those days. Believe me, if you were in month 8 of the deeply...
Horchata
If you've never had horchata before, or if you've never even heard of it...you're missing out. Horchata is basically a homemade rice milk drink that is spiced with cinnamon, and sometimes vanilla, and served over ice. While horchata originated in Latin America, there are many versions that vary from country to country. If you're like...
Savory Bacon and Cheddar Scones
Pastries of any kind are my favorite thing to make, eat, and share. As far as scones go, the sweet variety are my go-to, but this time I thought I'd try a savory version. (Although let's not forget about Double-Glazed Pumpkin Spice Scones.) I loved the combination of the cheddar, saltiness of the bacon, and the...
Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
Okay, so I'm officially on the rhubarb bandwagon. Hubby's there right beside me and there's no turning back. This recipe for Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp is so simple to put together...much simpler than assembling a pie, yet it tastes just as great. We may or may not have eaten the entire pan in two days or less. (That's okay though,...
Blueberry French Toast Bake
Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but it doesn't need to be the most complicated. I love fruit with my breakfast, especially if it's baked right in. This Blueberry French Toast Bake combines the juiciness of fresh blueberries with the cinnamon-sugar goodness of French Toast. A perfect start to the day.
Baked Cilantro-Lime Chicken and Rice
One of my favorite texts that my Hubby send me is "Wanna meet for lunch?" I always say yes, followed by the obligatory response of "When and where?" He almost always picks a Mexican Grill restaurant near his office. I have come to love burrito bowls, or naked burritos, or earmuffs, or whatever you want...
Honey Wheat Sandwich Bread
It's not every day that I make something and my husband tells me to laminate the recipe. And then a few days later tells me that when he dies, he wants his ashes baked into a loaf of this bread so that I can feed the bread to the fish at his favorite fishing spot...
Friday Favorites ~ May 30, 2014
There have been lots of fun things going on around here lately. Here are some of my favorites: 1. While my Hubby was working in China for a couple of weeks my sister-in-law and I got together to play. She is a photographer, so I baked up some props and we had great fun doing...
Grilled Asparagus and Ricotta Pizza
I don't know about you guys, but we had the most wonderful weekend ever this Memorial Day. Hubby returned from China after a week and a half, and we went straight from the airport at 10 pm Up North to our cabin. The weather was incredible. Sunshine, warm temperatures, and no rain. Despite the lovely...
