I am not a big salad eater. I think it is partially because cleaning and chopping lettuce is one of my least favorite things to do in the kitchen. However, I always enjoy a good Caesar salad. We have been making the Caesar salad recipe in this post for years. We found the original on… Continue reading Homemade Caesar Salad Recipe

Low Fat Buttermilk Chocolate Cupcakes
In my house we call these muffins, probably because if we called them cupcakes it would be harder to justify eating them for breakfast pretty much everyday. However, technically I guess they are cupcakes. This is a great recipe because it is low fat, quick and easy to make, and they freeze really well. It… Continue reading Low Fat Buttermilk Chocolate Cupcakes
Pane Rustica Recipe
From the title you have probably already assumed that this bread recipe requires no particular baking skills or equipment. I have made this Italian Bread many times with great success. There is no kneading, no bread machine, no mixer – just flour, water, yeast, salt and little elbow grease for mixing. Here is what you’ll… Continue reading Pane Rustica Recipe
Sesame Chicken Teriyaki
I used a whole chicken instead of all thighs. We did the whole chicken because hubby does not eat dark meat. I love a good chicken teriyaki so I was looking forward to making this. Let’s start with the sauce. It had a lovely Asian flavor and aroma. I doubled the sauce so I would… Continue reading Sesame Chicken Teriyaki

Personally, I needed to make a lighter dessert for myself so I wanted to stay away from the creme anglaise. I knew I wanted to do something fruity with a… Continue reading Baked Meringues
Homemade Cinnamon Rolls
These cinnamon rolls were made during our recent battle brioche that my husband has been posting about this week. How do you have brioche dough in the house and not make some cinnamon rolls or sticky buns? The answer is you don’t. I used the winning brioche dough. However, I made the rolls following the… Continue reading Homemade Cinnamon Rolls
Pigs in a Brioche Blanket
After battle brioche I was left with over a pound of unused brioche. I decided to try something I have always wanted to make, but have not: “Pigs in a Blanket” and what better blanket is there than a supple, buttery brioche blanket? I decided to make this pigs in a blanket recipe as my… Continue reading Pigs in a Brioche Blanket
Warm Spinache and Artichoke Dip
I love spinach artichoke dip, and I have made this recipe a few times before so I knew it was going to be good. I made this at my parent’s house for a family party, and I added some lump crab meat this time. My dad bought a can of colossal crab meat that was… Continue reading Warm Spinache and Artichoke Dip
How to Make Turkey Meatballs
I LOVE pasta with marinara sauce. Pasta in general may be my favorite thing to eat, and as luck would have it, I have a boyfriend who likes to make me homemade pasta. He has become quite proficient at it and will post his process on the blog at some point. For this dinner he… Continue reading How to Make Turkey Meatballs
