For Thanksgiving this year I was bringing a hot veggie dish. I had hoped to find some really nice cauliflower but since I couldn’t I decided broccoli would have to suffice. I found this recipe on the blog “babble” The Family Kitchen (http://blogs.babble.com) website. It looked really yummy and I had all of the ingredients.  So…

We all know how much I love to make quiche, but I was just short on time last week and thought a good Frittata would fit the bill. Boy, I felt like I hit the jackpot. This is so easy to put together and so elegant I will make these more often from now on.…

Just as I had finished passing around those lovely magic bars to friends and family, I found another recipe from Can You Stay For Dinner Blog (http://canyoustayfordinner.com) and how she had added some wonderful oats, a smaller pan lined with aluminum foil (slightly oiled) and pouring the Sweetened Condensed Milk on last!! Wow, we are…

Before the summer left us completely I was bound and determined to make my first Galette. They looked like a pie simplified. Or so I thought.  Actually it was easier in many ways than a real pie, but I found the texture of the crust heavier. And it should have been since I never put…

I had one of those cans of sweetened condensed  milk in my cupboard and wasn’t sure what to make with it. So oddly enough I had googled sweetened condensed milk but wasn’t seeing anything that rang my bell. Then on the can I found a recipe that looked pretty interesting. So I had to try…

    My herb garden this year is doing surprisingly good. My fruit trees are usually the only successful gardening I have bragging rights to. And even that I don’t deserve the credit. But fortunately for my little garden the herbs are the best ever. This years sage has been perfect and even the bugs…

Have I bored you with how much I love lemons? Can’t drink most tea’s without them. And actually I sorta miss those painful thorns associated with my awesome lemon tree. Any tree that could have a song written after it can’t be too bad as well! So, as we head into September (Ahhh…….did I have…

My go to food. No Doubt about it. As you may already know I really, really love Quiche. It’s like a whole meal in one slice of egg and cheese drenched pie. What’s not to love?  So, earlier this week with the cooler weather (before the heat rolled in) I felt it very appropriate seeing…

I just love peanut butter. CRUNCHY that is. Have never understood the smooth kind, but variety is the spice of life. I usually find most peanut butter cookie recipes calling for crunchy peanut butter, so I don’t usually bother. Until this week when I stumbled upon this recipe from Sweet and savory tooth blog  (http://sweetandsavorytooth.com)…

Sometimes we forget the simplest, most efficient and effortless of salads. Thought I would take it upon myself to send out one of those delicious reminders. With the summer heat, this is one to not miss out on. Especially if time is of limited quantity. (Boy do we know that one!) So, next time you…

I found this awesome recipe on Tastespotting (Oh what a surprise), but had some extra ingredients around the fridge and thought I would do some tweaking. It …….So………worked ……out!! Let me tell you this was pretty easy and ever so delicious. I just wish you could smell this from your computer. The egg whites and…

I love Eggs Florentine and had such a hankering the other day that I decided it was time. Well, ok I was in a car accident…..(what is it with young boys loving to hit my car????)  So I was hankering for some comfort food and this just does it for me.  It really is an…

I finally found some dried chick peas at the supermarket and wanted to make some hummus. I haven’t made some in a while, and I like to soak the beans myself. If you haven’t noticed I have the DIY gene really bad! Wanted to make hummus but with the new added twist (or not so…
