I know I complained about all the pumpkin recipes on the internet a couple weeks ago. And I still stand by my statement that the food world should not revolve around pumpkin in the fall, even though it does. Most of them call for only part of a can of pumpkin, which is high on …
Sometimes I surprise myself at how big of a mess I can make of a recipe. The first time I made these pancakes, I more than doubled the flour because I was trying to go from memory rather than look at my phone again. To make them work, I added unknown amounts of milk, yogurt, …
I’m posting yet another recipe that requires the oven and another bread recipe. I know. But I’m hoping that as not sweltering pregnant ladies, you will be open to actually turning yours on. And we all love carbs, let’s be real. Obviously, my family really liked this recipe, or I wouldn’t be posting it here. …
Do you go in food phases? Or am I just a crazy pregnant lady? Maybe don’t answer that second one. I am in a total muffin craze the last few months. I am either making muffins, planning to make muffins, or thinking out what ingredients I have to make them. The only good thing is …
Two startling realizations popped into my head last night. First, I don’t remember the last time I purchased a pre-made bread product (sandwich, bagel, bun, etc). This made me feel almost Amish and weird. I used to read blogs about women who made all their own bread and think, “Don’t they have anything better to …
I have a cookbook of recipes my mom collected over the years, which includes a recipe for “chewy breadsticks”. I was hosting a spaghetti dinner party once, and my mom suggested I make those. I don’t know if I did something wrong, but the end result was definitely chewy, borderline like eating cardboard. They didn’t …
Did you make a resolution to eat breakfast this year? Or to eat a healthier breakfast? I can easily get in a rut with breakfast. We often eat oatmeal about five days a week. For variety, I usually throw in pancakes or waffles. But I am trying to find other options that liven up our …
This blog has turned orange lately. Most of my recent recipe posts have somehow involved sweet potato and pumpkin. While it seems repetitive, there are so many delicious uses for these seasonal veggies that are extra delicious and extra affordable right now. Why not eat up? I first tried these pumpkin pancakes out on my …
Does Friday night feel like pizza night to anyone else? Whenever I plan my menu for the week, I’m always tempted by pizza on Friday night. It just feels right. While getting takeout or delivery is inticing, homemade pizza can actually be very simple. As always, I like being able to control the ingredients and …
My mom was horrible at making homemade bread. She was an excellent cook in many ways, but she really struggled making any bread product beyond cinnamon rolls. Because of that, I always assumed bread making was hard. Fast forward to college, I had two roommates who made homemade bread every week. They would make a …
