KitchenNutThe 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 […]
Thanks to Kate from the clean plate club for the Excellent Blog award!! I read a lot of cooking & baking blogs…I mean, a lot! I’m not a really big commenter, though. I need to be better, though, because as a blogger, I know how excited we can get when there is confirmed knowledge that […]
I’d like to say “eat healthy”, but I’ll take the -ier since that’s at least one step closer. I must be nagging my family enough, as in the past 24-hours, I’ve been with two siblings who have both noticably changed their eating habits for the better. Big Sis was excited to find Gogurt Simple, which […]
It’s time for another Tuesdays with Dorie challenge, compliments of Dianne of Dianne’s Dishes. If you are like me, the name Florida Pie sparks an interest, but knowing it must be a citrus of some sort. You got it—an upgraded Key Lime Pie. This pie is definitely taken to the next level, though, with a […]
Well, in my frozen world, I can’t even think about planing my little garden until towards the end of May. We sometimes still have frozen nights, so no reason to bother planting now. Also, because of space, I am only able to plant herbs—but, four large pots of them! Nothing compares to throwing open my […]
I think one of the most important things you can do in your cooking is taste test. Taste test, taste test, taste test! I think you would be amazed at the difference that one change in ingredient will make in your cooking! Even the type of water you are using affects your cooking and baking […]
Hooray–another excuse to add to the list why our baked goods sometimes fail, with no explanation. It just might be the water! I’ve heard this time and time again, that the water does affect our baking, and even our cooking. I have to agree. The water in the frozen tundra where I live is so […]
