That looks pretty good doesn't it? And no I didn't take the photograph (one day I hope I'll be that skilled with a camera!). But I'm about to let you in on little secret.... Ever heard of the site How Sweet it Is? You need to know about it. Read it. Follow it. Laugh your booty off from it, but most of all, cook from it! I don't know Jessica....
So I don't know about you, but I've got a few things to work on for myself this year. One is getting this "pre/during/post/been hanging around too long" baby weight GONE. However, I've learned over the past few years, that the way I might have tackled a problem pre-marriage, or pre-kids, or frankly, just in my 20s, is a lot different than I how I can tackle it now. There's...
I know I told you all about this last year, but really, I am so not kidding on this, unless of course we were just unbelievably lucky last year, but I'm going to guess not. I think it really is just THE.BEST.TURKEY.EVER. I saw a link on Twitter last November, and followed it to this Maple Brined Grilled Turkey. Since we were hosting last year and I was delegating dishes,...
Do you have little monsters in your house? I do. I mean they are cute little monsters. but MAN those fangs can really come out when they want a donut!! Now I'm not going to say that we eat a lot of donuts in our house (maybe a few) and I'm not going to admit that we have a drive-thru donut shop down the street (we frequently visit) or that...
Let's just be clear that I'm not a full time food blogger, nor even a part time food blogger, nor even an occasional food blogger, BUT, I do love food and I do like to find new fabulous simple recipes! However, this is not a place you will ever see perfect food styling or amazing step by step photos, because frankly, my kids wont let me. And I'm lazy (as...
I've mentioned before that I've started cooking more with Addie. I've always cooked with the Littles, but I'm trying to let Addie be more a part of the process in deciding things to make, in trying new things, and in doing more than just handing her something she can "dump in the bowl". Being 3-1/2 and also going to preschool 2 days a week has somehow catapulted her into this...
Contrary to what you all may think, I am not a very good natural cook. And by "natural" , I mean "instinctive" ~ My Genious Sister-in-Law (yes!), my mom (yes!), my dad (yes!), my baby sister (yes!) ....me (no!!!!) But I follow directions REALLY well. (Well, that is, when I WANT to follow directions). So that being said, I read cookbooks like they are fiction. It wouldn't be weird to...
I love this tip! It's one of those that you think, HOW have I never thought of this before?? So how many of you butter your corn before wrapping it in foil for the grill? Or Maybe you butter your corn after (when it's super HOT, and you can barely lay a finger on it). I 'm sure that most of you do all this the old fashioned, "family style",...
So what do these have to do with anything? Well, when you have a 3-1/2 year old currently fascinated with cooking and food.... Seriously, I'm not kidding. She's been waking up from her nap asking to watch cooking shows. I'm kinda feeling like I need to fully support this little development. She's watched Giada make salmon, and it's npw her FAVORITE dinner (it's our whole family's favorite) actually. She watched...
What do you do with your leftovers? Do you panic to use them up the same week? Sometimes I plan out the week and make sure I'm cooking enough chicken or steak for later in the week to simplify my life. But other times I know we wont be around to eat it, or that I've got a busy week the following week. Simple solution, a freezer Ziplock. Just prep...
