I’ve begun to really appreciate pizza as a delicious way to use up veggies and meats that you otherwise might not think to use together. When in doubt, put it on a pizza! Tasty. Pizza is also an amazing dish to make with kids. My Mom used to make pizza with my siblings and I [...]

A few weeks ago I started carrying a notebook on me, so I could write down ideas when they came to me. I don’t remember where I was when I thought of making a pound cake with olive oil, but the idea popped into my head fully-formed–”olive oil pound cake”! Brilliant, I thought. I think [...]

Sorry about the Friday debacle. I totally did not intend for this delay to happen, I usually just assume I will have computer access wherever I go. I should probably stop assuming things. I’m going to admit that I made these biscuits as a vehicle for the maple cream that is to come. Not that [...]

Hello all, This blog is to inform you that today’s recipe duo (yup, TWO recipes!) will be posted on Monday. It’s a long story, but I’m going to try to make it quick because I’m currently typing letter-by-letter with a Wii remote (wiimote). I’m in Arizona visiting my 1.5 year old niece, and I assumed [...]

Today is the day! Enchiladas made, Mexican feast delivered, Rubik’s cube solved. Perfection. Ok, I didn’t solve the Rubik’s cube. But everything else is true. Scout’s honor! Enchiladas are crazy easy to make, especially when you make them casserole-style (as I do). You can use nearly anything for a filling, just add some enchilada sauce, [...]

Hey guys, I had this amazing Cinco de Mayo enchilada extravaganza planned for yesterday, but the fates conspired against me. I ended up being just to busy to pull something adequate together! Sorry about that. Never fear, however. I will absolutely, definitely post the Mexican enchilada feast on Thursday, followed on Friday with a Mother’s [...]
