WE’VE MOVED!!
I originally started this blog in Nov 2006. I posted very infrequently until earlier this summer. I’ve since started reading a lot of food blogs which help keep me inspired and keep me posting. In my foodie blog surfing I’d also found several other blogs out there with the same name as mine (Eat, [...]
Sandwiches are great for lunch, but I have to confess that I get sick of them really quickly and I have to make goood sandwiches or I won’t eat them… peanut butter & jelly just doesn’t cut it for me. I recently started putting roasted red peppers on my sandwiches and they add the perfect [...]
I tried stuffed shells for the first time a couple months ago and immediately fell in love with the entire concept of stuffed pastas. I still can’t believe I had never had them before! I’ve been spending a lot of time experimenting with different fillings, and I think this one is a winner. The hubby [...]
We were headed to friends’ house for dinner and I needed to whip up something for dessert. We had some leftover homemade vanilla ice cream from the weekend but I wanted something to spice up the ice cream a bit… I decided to make some chocolate covered strawberries.
They’re so easy to make (and I almost [...]
I had a whole pineapple in the fridge that i haven’t used and its on the verge of going out so I knew I needed to eat it tonight. Decided I’d spice it up a bit and grill it to eat with some of the homemade ice cream that’s still in the fridge. I came [...]
Saturday evening, 6 family members joined us for dinner. Its been awhile since I’ve made any sort of cake so I knew what I wanted to make for dessert. I grabbed my cookbook to find my Grandmother’s recipe for Texas Sheet Cake… I knew I had the perfect dessert for our BBQ. Our cousins ohh [...]
I loove baked beans. I never really had them growing up (except the kind that comes straight from a can) and had them for the first time a couple years ago at a friend’s house on the fourth of July. I found this recipe on allrecipes and I was hesitant to use it since it [...]
My sister-in-law came to visit this weekend from school. Not thirty minutes after she arrived she asked if I’d make her some Pumpkin roll. I know how much you miss home cooked food when away at school, so we ran off to the grocery store to get supplies so I could send her home with [...]
meet the newest member of my kitchen appliance family. Due to a misprint in Lowe’s weekly advertisement, you can score a Kitchen Aid 5 Quart Artisan Stand Mixer for $150 right now (regularly$300). I had to special order my green apple mixer, but for $150 I’ll wait a week for it show up! I can’t [...]
Taro root is a potato-ish tuber. Its got a hairy brown skin (reminds me of a soft coconut) and and a grayish-white/purple-tinged flesh. It has a slightly nutty flavor when its cooked. In itself its not really sweet, but you eat this with sugar and its yummy! This treat was something I grew up eating [...]
