Adventures in the kitchen

Game of Thrones Pie

Game of Thrones Pie

I’ve read the Game of Thrones series. Twice. I really enjoy them, and I was trying to bide my time until the next book in the series came out. Oh poor, naive Jo. Can we please please please have the next one? Pretty please? I’ve […]

How I Survived the Blizzard

How I Survived the Blizzard

You all know that I hate the cold. I would take 97F over -25F EVERY. TIME. And spending two hours shoveling my driveway, while a great workout, is not my idea of time well-spent. But I have to say, getting a four-day weekend is pretty […]

Keep It Simple

Keep It Simple

I love making pizza. I have this magical bread machine that makes the pizza crust for me. It’s so fluffy! I highly recommend getting a bread machine. Even if all you ever use it for is pizza dough, it’s totally worth it. I do stray […]

Apple Oatmeal Cookies

Apple Oatmeal Cookies

I’m not sure what happened to all of my cookies. These lasted all of two hours before they vanished. I restrained myself from eating the dough, which was no easy feat. And they definitely came out of the oven… They made it to the cooling […]

Steamy Rice and Beans

Steamy Rice and Beans

I love elaborate recipes. I really do. But 90% of the time, I’ll look at an elaborate recipe with 20 ingredients and think, “Yeah right! Not tonight, my friend.” Which is a pity, because ingredient lists can be deceiving as far as effort involved. On […]

Fool Proof but without any proof Quiche

Fool Proof but without any proof Quiche

Let’s pretend this is a photo of a beautiful quiche, ok? And it’s all steamy, and delicious smelling, and puffy. Puffy is a very important quality in quiche. And don’t tell me you can’t smell food photos. You may need to get your nose checked, […]

Curry Chicken Chili

Curry Chicken Chili

I’ve been making this chili a couple times a month for awhile now. (Though this is the first time I’ve made it with chicken. I’ve been using ground beef, and it’s been amazing. But I only had chicken, and it was equally amazing.) It was […]

And Another

And Another

How on earth has another year passed already? You know what is the biggest difference between last year and this year? My child, my amazing child, is READING HIS OWN BIRTHDAY CARDS!! Obviously that’s not the only difference this last year has made, but I’d […]

Well, if this isn’t inspiration

Well, if this isn’t inspiration

Then I don’t know what is. I know I haven’t posted anything in awhile. And while I’m kind of sorry about that, I also really enjoyed the downtime. I took some time to take photos just for fun. And because I wasn’t trying to get […]

A new take

A new take

Remember those bacon things? Sometimes I like to mix it up, without having to work or think too hard. Quick and easy, same steps, sweet not savory. Should I be calling these apple turnovers? That just doesn’t seem like something I’d do. Call something by […]
