Peanut Butter Banana Bread

July 26, 2011

I never thought I would say this, but I’m currently going through a strong aversion to peanut butter- I haven’t had the stuff in a whole week (a definite record)! Aren’t food likes and dislikes weird? I was literally eating peanut butter on a whole wheat tortilla every single day and now I just eat [...]

“Un” Fried Ice Cream

July 11, 2011

I’m currently on the tail end of a productivity funk, I guess you could say, meaning I just lost any motivation to cook or bake lately. My brain just hasn’t been able to focus much. This funk is being forced out, however, and I’ve told myself I must get a dinner schedule together for the [...]

Strawberry Cream Muffins

July 1, 2011

Strawberries just scream summer. Muffins usually don’t excite me much. I guess I’ve had too many dry and tasteless ones that I just think “meh”.  Well, I had a container of sour cream in the fridge that had to be used, so I cracked open a few cookbooks. I asked Alex what he thought of [...]

Chocolate Chip Cookies with Pretzel Pieces

June 21, 2011

Have you ever been to Fresh and Easy?? It’s a smaller grocery chain with the likes of Trader Joe’s, but is more spacious and bright. They also carry brand-name products other than their own. It is awesome. Throughout the store, there are bargain areas with leftovers from the previous day that are greatly discounted. And [...]

Baked Eggs with Tomato & Parmesan Sauce

June 13, 2011

Meatless Mondays! Does anyone out there participate in this tradition?? Occasionally, by subconscious default do we end up going meat-free (i.e., grilled cheese, pb&j, cereal, etc.) on more than just Monday nights. I was browsing through the April 2009 issue of Everyday Food, my current favorite recipe digest, and caught sight of this dish. Eggs [...]

Peanut Butter Cookies 3 Ways

June 1, 2011

“I don’t know, I can’t decide.” That seems to be my answer lately when Alex asks me what I’m going to make next, or even just what to have for dinner. Finally last week, I decided to cook up a Bertolli frozen shrimp dinner with Marie Callender’s cornbread. Yeah, I know, it’s not really cooking, [...]

Argentina Empanadas

May 18, 2011

It’s taken *quite* some time, but I’m back and ready to blog! We spent the whole month of April in Las Vegas and it was glorious. Alex went back to work this month, so Lizzie and I took a quick trip to WA. It’s hard getting back to normal life….While we were in Vegas, Alex’s [...]

My First Cake Pops

April 12, 2011

We are currenly hanging out for a bit in Las Vegas with the in-laws and it has been wonderful. Lizzie’s had a rough go with adjusting to the dry climate and possible teething, but she’s having a blast otherwise! Before we took off on our little road trip, I decided to give the insanely popular cake [...]

ATK’s Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

March 22, 2011

I took a chocolate chip cookie break for a while. What was I thinking? Well, I couldn’t decide on what new recipe to try next, so I just waited until my mind cleared up a bit. All clear! The past week or so, I’ve been on an America’s Test Kitchen kick. The Family Cookbook hasn’t [...]

Wilted Spinach Salad with Bacon and Peppers

March 14, 2011

Hello! It’s been a while. My main excuse for this is we moved, although that excuse is now getting old. And, really, we only moved to the opposite end of our complex (which is actually farther than it sounds, believe me!). I have made a few things in the meantime, but nothing I considered blog-worthy.
