It’s been a year, and I’ve finally gotten my grandmother’s recipe boxes in order. I loved sorting through all of the recipes and reading all of the side notes written in that oh so neat and curly grandmother writing. The funniest part of the sorting was that there was no “pasta” category for noodles, lasagnas, [...]

- I’ll Have the Usual
The different, creative, adventurous recipes are fun most of the time, but sometimes you just need those comforting chocolate chip cookies. I have to admit, I am not someone who gravitates toward a typical chocolate chip cookie. They are delicious and comforting, but I would rather have something a little bit interesting. If you add [...]

- Peanut Butter Cookies
Back in November, a friend, who we will call JB, introduced me to the best cookies on the face of the earth. Peanut Butter cookies have been my favorite kind of cookies for just about forever, but after I tasted these cookies, that all changed. I used to be happy with just about any peanut [...]

- And the Week Begins
Another weekend has come and gone. There was time for work, good food, and good company. Some relaxation and some things getting done. The best part of my weekend turned out to be dinner and a movie on Saturday with a friend. We didn’t know what we wanted to see, but when we got to [...]

- From Seeds
The main idea when planting my herb garden was to have lots of basil and some other herbs on the side. At this point in time, my basil is failing miserably, only a few weak seedlings that have barely moved. While my other herbs are growing at a rapid speed! Look! The leaves are starting [...]

- Sweet Caramel Corn
The roommate thinks I am crazy, but I love my new popcorn maker. No burning, more popped kernels, and less attention needing to be paid means more popcorn being made. This just means that I can try lots of different popcorn types, toppings, and seasonings. After a batch of the regular salted stuff, it was [...]

- The Long Awaited
This is a recipe that I have received so unbelievable many compliments on. It is in high demand, and I have been getting chastised for not posting the recipe yet. I have made some modifications from the original recipe, and did not want to post the recipe without the modifications. Therefore, this will be the [...]

- All Kinds of Potatoes
My dreams have come true! Thanks to that little day that rolls around every year and makes me aware that I am yet another year older, I am now the proud owner of a mandolin slicer. I have dreamt of slicing with ease, and that day has finally come. The first mandolin endeavor involved some [...]

- Hey There Herb!
They are here! My little sproutlings have broken through. Even though I was a little too eager and planted them a few days before the last frost, they survived the random days of bitter cold. They are destined to be here for my cooking enjoyment (when they grow up). I have never had an herb [...]

- Happy Easter
I love being at my parent’s house for Easter. Yes, I am 24 and there is still an Easter basket waiting for me in the morning, eggs are hidden in the yard, and we even dyed eggs. I don’t think I will ever get to old for that. If my mom isn’t too old to [...]
