KitchenNutThis quickly rose to my absolutely favorite salad dressing! I’ve made loads of homemade recipes, but hubby still wanted store-bought Italian. Annoyed, I refused to give-up! There had to be a dressing that made salad-haters excited to eat their leafy greens. And, voila! I have found it! It is fantastic on steamed broccoli, too! Honey-Dijon […]
Ooh…I just found a recipe for pumpkin brownies! Heaven.
It’s frustrating when you don’t have the exact pan that a recipe calls for. Or, what if you want to halve the recipe, or quarter it? What size pan do you use? Well, I’ve spent so much time calculating this (repeatedly), I finally got smart and made a chart! I decided to share. Isn’t it […]
A few years ago, I would watch Giada de Laurentiis faithfully. When I became scathed that her show’s time changed, I bought a Tivo. In general, her recipes are hit or miss (which, I attribute to using the same ingredients that she uses), but the best one ever: her Simple Tomato Sauce. It is absolutely […]
I just taught a group of teen-girls how to make salsa. :) I love teaching about food.
As a fun addition to my previous post about the liars–er, marketers–trying to convince you that corn syrup is good for you (clickety here), my brother sent me this website from the Consumist: clickety here Watch the commercials, then read some comments. There are lots of funny ones (and several that could use an edit […]
I can identify 18 out of20 cereals, just by site. Really. Have I ever mentioned I ate a lot of cold cereal growing up? AOL Cereal ID Quiz How did you do?
Making some broa, pulled pork, homemade bbq sauce (made with homemade ketchup, of course) and deciding which brownie recipe to make.
My 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 […]
