Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

December 14, 2011

So, I’m still on a mini pumpkin kick. But, the Christmas treats are quickly seeping into my head (and google reader), so I’m sure those will take over very shortly Last week, I made this bread for another girls’ meet-up. Quick breads are awesome. There couldn’t be an easier sweet snack to whip up, as [...]

Pumpkin Snickerdoodles

December 2, 2011

Yeah, I realize it’s December and pumpkin time is slowly winding down, but I’m still into it! Ever since I saw this recipe on Annie’s blog, and a few others, I knew I eventually would get around to trying it. Snickerdoodles were one of my favorite cookies when I was younger, mostly because it was [...]

Hello, and welcome to November! I literally made these cookies yesterday- yes we still had so much candy leftover from Halloween that I HAD to do something.

Orange Glazed Pumpkin Mini Muffins

October 21, 2011

Pumpkin time!! There isn’t much more to say about it really. It is one of the best things about Fall. Growing up, I wasn’t into Fall at all, or pumpkin for that matter. But, I’d venture to say that now it’s one of my favorite times of the year. Maybe it’s because it’s a precursor [...]

Pan-Fried “Rock” Fish

October 16, 2011

Rockfish- what the heck is that? The other night Alex came home and as we were going to bed, mentioned, “Oh, by the way, there’s some rockfish in the fridge.” I had no clue what that was but just said, “Ok thanks”, which basically meant, “Ok, I’m too tired to ask what or why- good [...]

Almond Sticky Buns

September 23, 2011

I finally did it all on my own. I made yeasty cinnamon rolls! This is more of an accomplishment for me than it sounds. Just the thought of making anything with yeast still scares me much more than it ever should. And, I have to admit, the whole time I was making these sticky buns, [...]

Nutella Banana Crepes

My youngest sister Laura was here visiting this past week. As always is the case with family coming, it came and went way too fast. Laura also likes to cook, too, and even brought along her own curry to make us dinner! That was awesome. If she wasn’t married, I’d totally beg her to come [...]

Chocolate Birthday Cake Frosting

September 7, 2011

Alex’s 32nd birthday was a week or so ago- woohoo, we’re the same age once again! For 2 months, I’m a “year” older, as he teasingly likes to remind me. We didn’t throw a fancy party this year or anything, but birthdays just don’t seem complete without some type of cake product. I decided to [...]
