Stuffed Bell Peppers

June 17, 2010

This is another first time experiment for me that I’d had in the back of my mind for some time. A while ago, Alex and I were visiting some friends and Naomi whipped these up like it was as simple as that. So, after too many trips to the grocery store and forgetting to pick [...]

My Birthday Cupcakes

June 14, 2010

My birthday was yesterday- I turned a whole 31 years old. The bigger milestone is I have exactly one month until my due date! I’ve been seeing homemade funfetti cupcakes on a few blogs lately and they keep catching my eye. How can a cupcake that is splattered with sprinkles not be festive. These are [...]

How to Make a Panini (sans Press)

June 10, 2010

There is a certain turkey sandwich that I am addicted to in Hollywood Studios in Disney World. It is only served at the Backlot Express, and since I’m not going to Orlando anytime soon, I’m starting to experiment on paninis at home to come up with something similar. The one above is different than my [...]

Peanut Butter Cheesecake Brownies

June 7, 2010

Every Sunday, either Alex or I teach a sunday school class at church. The other week, it was my turn to teach and the lesson was on developing our talents. SO, I thought it would be fun to bring a treat. I got up extra early Sunday morning and decided brownies would be easy enough.  [...]

Pulled Pork Sandwich

June 2, 2010

I never realized how incredibly easy and rewarding pulled pork is. Making this has given me a renewed interest in my slow cooker that I rarely ever use. Boy, I have been missing out- that thing is a miracle worker. Although, I do feel like our slow cooker has a mind of its own since [...]

Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies

May 27, 2010

Oh, these cookies. Where do I begin? I have now made these cookies once a week for the past 3 weeks. This is why.
Alex is a resident at a hospital out here, and whenever I bake, he brings my goodies to work. Am I ever thankful for this, otherwise I would have way too many [...]

Turkey Meatball Subs

May 24, 2010

Meatball subs are such a fun meal and are actually super easy to make! I bought a big bag of hoagie rolls at Coscto and we had quite a few left over from making deli sandwiches. I stuck them in the freezer to keep them from drying out (it happens way too fast), but I [...]

Buttermilk Coffee Cake

May 20, 2010

Our good friends had us over for dinner the other Sunday after church. I had about 1.5 hours to think of and make something sweet for dessert. Cake wouldn’t work since I’d have to make it look all pretty. Same with cupcakes. Cookies would take me too long to decide on a recipe, then bake [...]

Italian Ricotta Cookies

May 17, 2010

When we lived in San Francisco, I would occasionally nanny in the North Beach neighborhood, aka SF’s Little Italy. There are some awesome Italian bakeries over there, and I could never resist stopping in for a few little cookies. One of the bakeries specialized in focaccia and I’m sad that I never got around to [...]

Alex's Scrambled Eggs

May 12, 2010

I love scrambled eggs, and when I make them for myself, I am quite unparticular about their fluffiness or overall appearance. As long as I’m able to add some kind of green veggie (usually spinach or broccoli) and they cook together without burning, I’m fine.
Not Alex. He likes his with milk and thoroughly scrambled, no [...]
