Adventures in the kitchen

Fudgy Salty Brownies

Fudgy Salty Brownies

These are the brownies. The. Brownies. Sure, it takes three bowls, but look at that fudgy layer under that crispy layer! And yeah, I added salted caramel sauce. It was the next logical step. If I’d had ice cream, I’d have done that too. HOWEVER! […]

Food Bowl Day!

Food Bowl Day!

Happy Super Bowl! I have to admit that I don’t really have a team today (or any day, for that matter). I really enjoy watching the super bowl, and I watch football on occasion, but we live in Montana. No professional teams here. I usually […]

Am I the only one?

Am I the only one?

Please tell me you do this too. It’s like that little slot on the handle of my cast iron skillet was made for holding my wooden utensils. Oh! And I also flatten the ground beef before I freeze it. You wouldn’t believe how fast it […]

Curried Butternut Squash Soup

Curried Butternut Squash Soup

Holy moly. You know when you’ve been really busy, and then when someone asks you what you’ve been up to, you automatically say, “Not much.” What’s up with that? I think it’s mostly because you can’t just say, “Well I’ve been dancing and working and […]

Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken Noodle Soup

Look at that steamy goodness! Yes please. For some reason, there was some confusion over whether or not I liked chicken noodle soup. When I told my husband that this is what I was making for dinner, he said, “But you hate chicken noodle soup.” […]

How I Actually Make Chili These Days

How I Actually Make Chili These Days

My sister texted me to ask if I had a chili recipe that was any good. My first thought was, “Are you kidding me? I must make chili once a week! It’s awesome!” But I told her to go to my blog and find the […]

Cinnamon Twist Bread

Cinnamon Twist Bread

You guys!! I did it!! I made pretty bread! Actually, I’m going to say that this bread is beautiful. Not even sorry about bragging here, because if you guys know me, you know how much I struggle with bread. I have cried, laughed, given up, […]

My new obsession

My new obsession

I was one of those kids who would decide something didn’t look good, and then convince myself it tasted terrible. At least I know I’m not the only one, but now I kick myself for cheating myself out of years of delicious foods. Like Tapioca […]

Pineapple Chicken with Coconut Rice

Pineapple Chicken with Coconut Rice

Otherwise known as the most tropical dinner I’ve ever made. Aloha! I feel like this also got me out of my chicken rut. Lately, my chicken dinners have been so blah. Completely edible, but not exciting and only just…decent. I’ve just gotten out of my […]

Banana with Honeyed Mascarpone & Caramel

Banana with Honeyed Mascarpone & Caramel

Bananas are not my go-to dessert. I do not like banana splits. Just give me the ice cream! I’ve had Bananas Foster once, but I prefer apple crisp. But my friends served this dessert a couple of weeks ago, and I haven’t been able to […]
