KitchenNutMy sister sent me an interesting link today, followed by my view of an interesting advertisement in a magazine. Both claiming that corn syrup is healthy, because it’s derived from corn. Well, I’ve got a few things to say about it, too (heh. When don’t I, though?) As stated in “In Defense of Food,” (and […]
I don’t have a terrible amount of waste leaving my kitchen/house (to me, my kitchen is my house), but I still find that there are more opportunities to “green-up” my kitchen! If you’ve been looking for a few options to cut-down on the waste your house has been producing, here are a few of my […]
Most of the time, when baking, the slightest mistake will bring total devastation. Especially when you’re trying out that new, complicated recipe for company! However, sometimes you can have what my hubby refers to as “happy accidents,” when something goes wrong, but it gives you the benefit. I like those. Last night, while making a […]
Those were the thoughts running through my head when I bit into my long-time enslavement of making a tres leches (three milks) cake for hubby. The cake looked lovely, all glistening from it’s multiple layers of soaking in three milks and it’s 24-hour rest in the fridge. You think the smell would have been a […]
I don’t think I could ever have uttered all those words in my entire life. In the past few weeks I have sampled more chocolate than I care to admit to. I have tasted, melted, dipped, tasted more, waited a few days, tasted again…and then again, to just be sure! Of course, it was all […]

Hooray! The blog seems to have migrated well, and the new essence of KitchenNut is beginning to unfold! It has been a long time coming, but only recently finally began to cement. But, I’ll outline the basics here, then point you in other directions for more detail. Hubby and I would love to have children of our […]
The website is enduring some changes, so if the site goes down, it is most definitely temporary! Also, once the changes are fully in effect, the blog will be moved to Blog.KitchenNut.com If you have an RSS Feed to the site, I suggest you begin to bookmark that site as well, so you will be […]
Isn’t he sweet? I have been terribly absorbed with KitchenNut (forthcoming announcements!!), so I hadn’t noticed that the time for dinner had come and gone. Hubby decided to very sweetly make me dinner. He found some frozen chicken in the freezer, some spaghetti on the shelf, and some marinara that I previously-made and canned. The […]
First, I must claify this fact, since my regular readers will obvious miss them: I did have step-by-step photos, until a minor mishap (ahem…hubby!). In the interest that I already did the recipe twice and the results were, well, read-on to find out, I’m not re-doing the photos. I grabbed a book called Sensational Stevia […]
Since I’m on this attempt to cut-back on sugar in our house, I find myself having an excess sitting around. Of course, this gives me reasons to find lots of reasons to find other, fun things to do with sugar. One can only imagine! I have already made a full-switch to all-natural, non-toxic cleaners in […]
Wow, do all sweeteners begin with an “s?” With my desire to cutback on sugar-intake in the house, I’ve been curious about other sweeteners available. If I could find a way to keep baking (I think I would die without it—from anxiety, that is!) Sugar, of course, is all natural–therefore, in my book, the best! […]
I was terribly excited when this recipe was announced—nice and easy, just what I needed! I adore tarts (since I don’t have to deal with perfectly round crusts, like those of pies) and strawberries are just what the doctor ordered. Well, Dr. KitchenNut, that is—I simply adore strawberries. I decided to make a wheat crust, […]
Special thanks to Fran of Apples Peaches Pumpkin Pie and Shea of Whiskful for this challenge! …or in layman’s terms, “Opera Cake.” Or, in hubby’s and my terms, “super yummy cake.” I was petrified of doing this cake…really petrified. The rules are intense and long, very explicit detail of the do’s and don’ts of the […]
This week’s recipe for the Tuesday’s with Dorie challenge came from Madam Chow’s Kitchen , who chose Pecan Honey Sticky Buns. However, as you can tell by my title, I clearly didn’t do that specific recipe. An alternate choice was offered–which I gladly chose, as I was not able to figure out how to manipulate the recipe (with […]
