Bitchin’ Shepherd’s Pie
I was once again inspired by Bitchin’ Kitchen. We had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday, filled with lots of family, lots of together time and (for me) lots of cooking. We had dinner out on Wednesday night, I was thrilled and fortunate to meet a new friend. My husband’s childhood friend. We had dinner with Melissa …
Chicken Pot Pie
What could be more comforting or more fall – winter-ey than chicken pot pie? That question was totally rhetorical. In my opinion, no store-bought pot pie will ever come close to the taste of a home-made pot pie. I’ll be totally honest, home-made takes a little more time to make, but it is totally worth …
Banana Pumpkin Muffins
My continuing saga to use up my pie pumpkins……. I made pumpkin banana muffins on Saturday night. We had some lovely friends over for dinner and I always like to send them home with some baked goodie for breakfast the next morning. Since I had just baked pumpkin number 3 of 6, I figured pumpkin …
Good Morning Pie
Of course, I made pumpkin pie with one of the Halloween pumpkins I’m not a robot. Okay, I dressed up as a robot wife for Halloween, but I’m fairly sure I am not a Stepford wife. I guess I’d be the last one to know though huh? Yes, it’s true, I’m eating pie for breakfast. …
Thanksgiving and Holiday prep, an a confession about shopping
The North American holiday, Thanksgiving is just around the corner (for those of us in the United States). If you follow many foodie blogs that are U.S. based, I’m sure you’re already very aware of this. We are talking turkey, getting very verbal about veggies, posting a plethora of pies. Oh, that was silly. I’ll …
What to do with Halloween pumpkins
After the Halloween party, I had 6 lovely pumpkins to deal with. The first one met my knife yesterday and then I gutted and roasted it. Does that sound homicidal? Perhaps I’ve been watching too much crime tv huh? I roasted the pumpkin seeds. Here is what I coated them with: 2 tsp olive oil …
How to make a Wow! worthy nacho.
I might be alone in my attempts to make an awesome nacho at home. Am I? Yes, you all have this nacho thing down already. *sigh* I knew it. Since I’m clearly a nacho making newb and I watch Good Day on Fox 4 in the mornings, I was glued to the T.V. set when …
Where I do what I do…
Where do I cook? Where do I write? Have these questions plagued you? Do you stay up at night thinking about my kitchen, my creative space? I hope not. That might mean you’re considering stalking me, which would be REALLY boring for you. For Reals. It could mean that most of the TV shows this …
Happy Halloween!
The great things about Halloween are the fun, the friends and the candy. And…. the Halloween parties are such fun! Muahahahaha! The good things about parties are too numerous to mention. The bad thing about parties is the clean-up. Yeah. Love parties, hate clean-up. Great parties need a day of rest after them. Well, at …
Jalapeño cheese squares
I posted this recipe in April, when very few people read my blog. Like 4 or 5 people. Heh. Since this is one of the easy, but well received appetizers I will be making for our Halloween Party I am re-posting it. These jalapeno cheese squares are easy to put together, make ahead friendly, and …
