KitchenNutThanks 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 […]
If you were at Women’s Day, then click here for all the tips (and yummy recipe).
I didn’t start cooking until about five years ago (goodness, it seems like yesterday we were eating Cambell’s Cream of Tomato soup every day!), and I have learned a lot! I love to cook, love to learn new things, and especially love to eat. About two weeks ago, I hit a new level, though. I […]
If I didn’t need to write this post, that title alone would send me running back to the kitchen to delve into my freshly-made cake. Alas, I’m also fighting temptation trying to remind myself how cruel it would be to hubby, that while he is at work, I get to sit at home today and […]
I never ate a deviled egg, that I can remember…at least not that left a memorable impression. See, in my house, we snarfed the eggies down long before they made it to the deviled-stage. In my memory though, the eggs had that nice green tint around the outside and smelled slightly of sulfur. Of course, […]
(EDIT: Due to technical problems, photos will appear later…) Have you ever heard of “the marshmallow story?” It’s great. If you clickety here, you can watch a quick study about it (click on the video on the right). Totally describes hubby—the part of snarfing it right away. :) Not because he doesn’t have patience, but […]
I am so in love with this store. When the first one was announced to come to my state, oh, two years ago, I would drive by just to get a glimpse inside the heaven-to-come. Then, when I saw a sign for another one only a few, short miles from my home, I wept with […]
I’d buy the world’s greatest kitchen with all my favorite goodies. And in that kitchen, I’d finally have my long-time coveted MagiMix Food Processor. I’ve been collecting gift cards for several months (received as gifts) from Williams-Sonoma in hopes that someday I’ll have enough to “buy” it. Oh, if only all dreams could come true…but, […]
well, not yet, anyway. :) I realize that I have been MIA for a little too long. Life seems to have passed me by, and I’m not sure where it went! I’ve been quite busy baking and cooking in my usual OCD manner, but along with it, I’ve been trying desperately to take KitchenNut to […]
What is one to do when the flour prices are on the rise and the most basic necessities are on the rise, including milk and eggs? In the words of Marie Antoinette (or was it Marie Theresa…), “Let them eat cake!” And I couldn’t agree more. Especially if it is the Perfect Party Cake recipe […]
