Not too long after Chris walked in the door last Friday he indicated his desire to buy and cook us some steaks on the grill.
How can you turn down an offer like that? He bought some incredible steaks and marinated them in a rub for three hours. Then he grilled them to absolute perfection. In […]

Chef Kyrie and I found ourselves at the store yesterday and as we were engaging in our second favorite activity (cooking being first, book browsing being second) we came upon a book. A cookbook to be exact.
Now, my favorite […]

There are a lot of different types of Easter baking I love to do. Adorable duckling, chick, and lamb cookies…Easter Bonnet cakes, special breads and rolls, the list goes on and on. But before I share those recipes with you this week I want to share this one, because it is the most special of […]

First of all, I know the color looks a little weird in this picture. I had to play around with it quite a bit. I took the picture of these cookies at night (I dared not wait for day, because we have ..you know, some sort of leprechauns or pixies or something that […]

I found out that I make Calzone wrong. Apparently, by adding the sauce to the inside of my calzone I am making a stromboli…except I don’t roll it right. So, this dish might better be called a calzon-boli.
I like the whole aspect of doing OAMC but a big, frozen pizza is, by my standards, […]

So, I said that this cake was special. It was baked in 1963 when I was three years old and, officially, it is the first cake I ever decorated.
My mom did not bake very much. Hardly at all. But for some reason, that Valentines Day, she decided to go all out. Maybe I asked if […]

You know, kids like parties, at least mine do. They always want to know if we are going to have a Superbowl party, and several don’t even like football. Here are a couple of recipes that kids can do for their own Superbowl party, so that when you are passing the Buffalo wings they won’t […]

Play-do, play-dough, however you spell it kids love it. There are so many wonderful things about it, learning experiences, motor skill development..but one thing that isn’t fantastic about it is the taste.
I don’t know about your kids but mine always seem to go through a stage where they are putting the art […]

As you can imagine we do not eat breakfast cereal here much. Even on sale it is expensive because it takes at least 2 boxes to feed everyone- even with that they are hungry again in an hour.
Homemade granola is fun to make and kids love it. Because you are making it at home […]
