Brittany's PantryMurphy’s Wild Rice
Memories and the connection food has to them is often the topic of my blog posts. If you read my site at all, you know that I generally show my love for people by feeding them. I really love to feed people. I need to feed my family and friends. I just…
Dairy-Free Veggie Chowder
When I think of chowder, I think of heavy, milk and cream laden soups that are nearly as thick as a stew. And, I must admit, that is what I find appealing about them. If you are eating them whilst wistfully gazing out at the sea, then they are even more appealing….
Hot German Potato Salad
Oktoberfest may be almost over, but there is still a week or two to sneak some german inspired dishes into your menus! But this isn’t just any german dish. This is a family recipe that has been enjoyed for generations. As a kid, my parents made this throughout the colder months of…
Grilled Tomato & Bacon Bruschetta
Living in South Carolina means lots of sunshine and an abundance of outdoor living spaces. My family and I, along with any guests that stop by, are most often on the porch enjoying the breezes, so whenever I have the opportunity to make meals outside and not heat up the house, I…
Mini Corn Muffins W/Bacon, Chives & Spicy Cream Cheese Whip
Sometimes, inspiration just strikes. Like lightening. Or in my case, like cream cheese and bacon. A few years ago I started adding bacon and chives to my regular Mini Corn Muffins. I still make them plain all the time and usually serve them with chili, salads, or just as a snack to…
Breakfast Stackers
When I lived in San Diego, I used to meet up with my friend and fellow Navy wife, Karen, at this bar and grill. For the life of me, I can NOT remember the name of the place (I think it had something to do with panning for gold…) but the place…
Green Beans W/Mushrooms & Bacon: Hold the cream please…
Is it weird that I can’t stop staring at this picture? The way the beans nestle in the bowl; the way the mushrooms and bacon add contrasting textures. I love the bright, verdant green against the stark white of the bowl and the soft brown of the antique wood table beneath…I just…
Far Eastern Salad
In the last post, I mentioned that this salad was requested by my sister as a ‘must eat’ when she was here with me. The funny thing was that even though I used to eat this about once a month myself, the past few years, I kinda forgot about it. When she…
Root Beer Baked Beans
The above picture is a little bowl of hearty goodness. Even if you are not a baked beans fan, this recipe is a standout dish that you will want to make frequently. It has already been added to my list of summer menus, and I have plans to bring it as a side…
Beef Bourguignon: Just call me Julia…
I’m back! After a quick and brief hiatus which included but was not limited to doctors appointments, way too many trips to the pharmacy to get prescriptions after said appointments, an unexpected trip to mourn the passing of a friend, and really just general exhaustion, I am back on track and in the…
Leek & Potato Soup
Christmas is over and everyone is gearing up for the New Year. Well, most everyone. Our holiday here didn’t quite go as planned as both of my kids were are sick. No Christmas Eve appetizer dinner. No festive brunch and Christmas Day Feast. Just macaroni and cheese and soup I had frozen. We lounged…
Cobb Potato Salad: Weird, but good!
Yes, its green potato salad. I’ll explain in a minute. About a year ago, I decided to start a blog. I had been asked over and over for recipes, input, sometimes advice, and I thought that if I started putting it all in one place, I could share with everyone about everything-all at…
Shrimp Cobb Salad
Eat with your eyes first and gaze upon this salad. Doesn’t this look good? I thought so too. So when I glanced at the cover of Cooking Light Magazine and saw it, I immediately added it to my menu for the week. Beautiful to look at and delightful to eat, the flavor…
Baked Macaroni and Cheese
I knew it! You saw the blog title, and lured by the cheesy goodness of comfort food, you just had to check it out, right? Well, be glad you did. This recipe turned out great. And I mean great. My daughter chose the recipe based soley on the picture in the magazine…
