Skillet Breakfast
We normally enjoy going out for breakfast on the weekend, on either Saturday or Sunday. But in keeping with my new effort to cook at home, I attempted a “skillet” breakfast this morning. I had some breakfast sausage left, about half a pound, the kind that comes in a log (I know, sounds terrible, but…

Back in the saddle, again.
I’ve missed my blog. I actually enjoy writing and and sharing my food adventures. If for nothing else then for my own enjoyment, which is how I operate most of the time anyway, let’s be honest. I’ve been feeling the pull to start it up again due to my new commitment to dining out less…

Instant Pot and Snacking Cakes Update
While my daughter and I intended to bake one or two cakes a day for our “Snacking Cakes” challenge (bake all 50 cakes in Yossy Arefi’s book, “Snacking Cakes“), the reality is forcing us to reconsider our plan. We have to make the Almond Butter Banana Cake next, due to the abundance of very, VERY…

Snacking Cakes: Day 2
It is day two of our personal challenge to bake every cake in Yossy Arefy’s “Snacking Cakes.” We purchased a bag of buckwheat flour yesterday, along with the whole milk yogurt, just for today’s recipe-Buckwheat Banana Cake. And just like our first cake yesterday, the recipe was easy and came together quickly. I decided to…

And We’re Back!
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted, years actually, but it’s good to know my blog is still here, just waiting for me to cook something. And while I may not have been posting over the last few years, I’ve still been busy in the kitchen, still using every pan in the house. However, over the…

Oatmeal Pie Knock-offs
Yesterday, I needed to make something for my daughter to take on a school trip, something sorta healthy, but also a treat. I have also been looking for cookie recipes that include oats, for heart health and coconut oil, because I read it is better for you than shortening or butter. Plus, I love the…

Impromptu Smoky Chili
It is getting colder up here in northern Michigan, time for some comfort food. My dad’s chili recipe is a family fav, but alas, the cupboards did not contain all the ingredients! So I improvised, as usual. It turned out quite well. So well, I have been snacking on it all night, which is probably…

Benjamin Twiggs Cherry Garden Salsa
I just discovered my new favorite salsa, Benjamin Twiggs Cherry Garden Salsa! This stuff is incredibly delicious, I couldn’t stop eating it. If you are not lucky enough to live where it is sold, you can order it online and have it shipped. But I warn you, one jar will not be enough, not by a…

Florentine Pasta Recipe Shuffle
When my daughter wandered into the living room and asked me what was for dinner tonight, I realized I needed to come up with something on the quick side, using what I had on hand. I found a recipe for Chicken Florentine that sounded promising, except all my chicken is currently frozen solid. However, I had fresh…

Pasta with Seafood and White Wine Sauce, Fail!
Epic. Fail. I just hate when that happens. Valentine’s Day dinner for the family is usually a lovely event, with heart shaped bits here and there. This year, I was craving a shrimp and crab pasta with a buttery white wine sauce. Sounds good, right? If you love seafood, it should sound good. I found…
