Brittany's PantryLemon & Garlic Shrimp Linguini
If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that I only post recipes that I make regularly; recipes that have made an appearance on my table several times and will continue to do so long after these words are archived. I have actually been making this dish for years…
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,…
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…
Flank Steak W/Tangy Sauce & Sisters
“I think this is my favorite meal,” said my sister, Hannah, as she inhaled the plate you see above. I mentioned earlier that my youngest sister was here to run a half-marathon, but she also came back through here on her way to the east coast for work. She stayed a few…
Lemon Quick Bread
Have I ever mentioned to you that I really love citrus? Mmmm, I do. Anyway, years ago, just after my husband and I got married, I was finishing up my student teaching in a small town in Wisconsin. The home port of his submarine had just changed from Pearl Harbor to San Diego…
Lemon Potatoes
I just realized that this is the second potato recipe I have posted in a week. But hey! Its all good! Everyone loves a potato, right? Besides. St Patty’s Day is coming up and I wanted to post lots of potato recipes for you and-oh who am I kidding??!! Not really. I…
Tilapia W/Citrus Sauce: A Favorite Meal
If you had asked me what my favorite food/meal was, oh say…ten or eleven years ago, I can guarantee you that meat would have been at the top of the list. In particular, beef. I learned at an early age that a good steak is hard to top and for the most…
Parmesan Dip & Butternut Squash Crostini
Well, it is done. A fast and furious hour and a half long cocktail party that I have been pondering the menu for for the last year, came and went. As Selma from Night Court once said, “I laughed. I cried. It became a part of me.” OK. So I didn’t cry. But…
Salmon Nicoise
It isn’t you. Do not be alarmed. Don’t bother to rub your eyes and blink rapidly. What you are seeing is real. This is most definitely not an autumnal dish. I am slightly embarrassed to even post this right now as it uses several ingredients that aren’t exactly in season and can be hard…
Lemon Thyme Orzo
I had a birthday the other day. No biggy. Just a birthday. Nothing to make a fuss over. I grew up with my parents instilling in me that while a birthday usually warranted a cake, that was about the extent of the hullabaloo. It stuck. I do my best to see that the…
Lemon Chiffon Pie
As I type this I am aware of two things. First of all, yes, I realize that this makes it two lemony recipes in a row. I like lemon flavored things. You are just going to have to deal. Second, is that it has been about a week since I last blogged. …
Lemon-Herb Deviled Eggs & New Easter Traditions
Is that an oxymoron? New traditions? I suppose, or nothing would ever change would it? And my life seems to be all about change lately… In the interest of wanting to start some new traditions, I of course went straight to food. Usually, when I read a recipe, I can pretty much guess…
Lemon Spaghetti
So my kitchen is done. Do I hear angels singing…? All the elements that make it functional are in place. Appliances, counters, sink-all finished. It will take me some time to reorganize it and have things in their correct places, but for the most part, it is done. We celebrated by christening the kitchen with…
Hot Wings My Way
Try new things. That is my motto this week. I am always making new things and thankfully, I have been blessed with a family that isn’t picky in the slightest. The animals will eat anything! But recently, my weekly menus have lacked anything familiar. I have been trying recipe after recipe in…
Margaritas, June Bugs, and Tea
Mmmmm. There is nothing like reaching for an ice cold beverage when its a million degrees outside. And trust me. Right now, in central Illinois, its about that hot. Personally, I like a nice strong, sweet tea. In fact, sweet tea is one of my favorite all time drinks. I suppose I…
