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.” Come again? “I’ve tried to make it before, but you…

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, and tried again when it comes to making bread look…

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 pudding. It looks lumpy. And maybe a little slimy. It…

Summer Recap
Holy smokes! Hello! I still exist, and I’m happy that you do too. We had an action-packed, relaxing, invigorating, magical summer. Hence the silence on my part. Umm, apparently June 4th was the last time I visited here, but I swear it was only two weeks ago. For real, June 4th? Don’t worry, I’m not…

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 groove, and chicken has been pretty dry and flavorless. Of…

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 stop thinking about it! It’s like a song that got…

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 also watched the HBO series (which is finally back for…

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 spectacular. Guys. We got snow days!! Not one, but two!!…

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 a little from the original bread machine’s recommended whole wheat…

How I roll
My son was laughing the other day, and I didn’t know why. Until I looked up from my camera and he was looking at me. You gotta do what you gotta do!
