Brittany's PantryKiller Fries
“These are the best fries I have ever had!” That was my husbands response the first time I made these. Now, after a few batches, he just scolds me for not making enough. Success! I should let it be known that I am not a ‘fry’ person. I like fries and on…
Gluten Free Apple Carrot Muffins
Sometimes, recipes just surprise you. I had no idea I was going to love these so much. I had no idea that I would end up completely redoing these muffins over five different batches. I had no clue that I would grow kind of addicted to the texture of almond flour. I…
How To: Caramelize Onions
It has been awhile since I have done a How To post, but not for lack of ideas! Just lack of time. I have a list of different How To sort of ‘tutorials’, if you will, that I am very excited to post here for your cooking pleasure. And I am finally…
Tangy Chicken Salad w/ Avocado
Chicken salad and I have a funny kind of relationship. I have mentioned before that our family never made it when I was a kid but I make it all the time now. I rarely, if ever order it when at a restaurant because…well…it always tastes terrible. You know what I mean?…
Summer Salmon
Greetings! I am in the middle of vacation but I definitely couldn’t wait to share this with you. I promised you a new salmon recipe and here it is! Granted, it is not the prettiest dish I ever made but what it lacks in looks it more than makes up for in…
Homemade Ranch Dressing
The first time I had homemade ranch dressing, it wasn’t really homemade. It was one of those spice packets from the grocery store mixed with sour cream and it was actually required of me for a college class. Long story. But even so, the flavor was superior to the bottled stuff. Fresh, tangy,…
Steak Salad
It is no secret that I love the Farmer’s Market. The small town that I live in has a very small one once a week that while tiny, fulfills most of my market needs. Above all else, I love to support the local businesses and if I can, try and purchase something…
Orange Cream Smoothie & A Blogaversary
Wow! Has it really been two years since I started blogging? Two years of recipes and a whole lot of food? Two years of home renovations (Oy), watching my eldest start school (boo), and welcoming a new baby (yeah!)? A year ago I gave the blog a new look, made a bunch…
Fried Rice Scramble
Without really meaning to, I have been making some gradual changes to the weekly menus that I plan for my family. Over the last several months, in the interest of time, money, health, and wanting to use up those items exiled to the bottom corners of my chest freezer, I have been making two meals a…
Super Creamy Strawberry Ice Cream
We never made strawberry ice cream when I was a kid. My parents had a huge, old fashioned crank ice cream maker that we would pull out a few times a summer and vanilla was the easy flavor of choice. We would stir in mini chocolate chips and, if we were lucky,…
Maple Glazed Ribs
I barely had time to snap a picture of these beautifully sticky, sweet, smokey ribs before they were devoured. My guests tucked into them like a pride of lions on a gazelle. Like bears in a river of salmon. Like kindergartners with popsicles on a 90 degree day. You get the picture….
Yogurt Salads
I am not a fan of eating plain yogurt, well, plain. Have you ever had it? It is really sour. Not rich and creamy and delightful like sour cream is, but actually sour. If you are one of those people who like it untouched or unsweetened I salute you, but I am…
Baked Oatmeal
I know that this recipe works. I know without a shadow of a doubt that it is consistent, easy, streamlined, and adaptable to many different palettes. How do I know this? Because I have made this a CRAZY number of times in the last three months! There has been oatmeal coming out…
Strawberry Lemonade
Man, oh man. I am one happy camper. I am sitting here typing this at my kitchen peninsula and eating a snack and drinking the Strawberry Lemonade you see in this picture. Although my beverage is not in my favorite tall glasses from World Market but instead is in a plastic cup we…
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…
