Chewy, Chunky Blondies This recipe has been on my want-to-bake list for a while now, and I’m so happy that I finally got around to making some of these blondies (except for the fact that I’ve been eating way too many of them!). These were the second batch of blondies that I’ve ever baked, the [...]

Pumpkin Pie I was responsible for making the pies for my family’s Thanksgiving celebration this year. I made a cinnamon apple pie with raisins and a crumb topping, which you will see here on the blog soon, as well as this pumpkin pie. I searched for quite a while before deciding upon this recipe. I [...]
Flaky Pie Crust

Flaky Pie Crust The secret to a flaky pie crust? Keeping the ingredients really cold, and working in the butter just enough so that there are still visible pieces of butter in the dough. When you use really cold butter and ice cold water in the dough, it keeps the butter from “melting” into the [...]

Harvest Pumpkin Soup Do you ever have really high hopes for a new recipe, but at the same time worry that it might not turn out well at all? That was my thinking about this pumpkin soup recipe before I tried it. For some reason, I wasn’t sure if the ingredients were going to meld [...]

Honey Yeast Rolls I made these honey yeast rolls for the first time yesterday, and I am so happy that I finally tried this recipe! The rolls are soft and slightly sweet, tender on the inside with just the right amount of browned “crust” on the outside. Be sure not to skip the step of [...]
Stuffed Peppers

Stuffed Peppers I have tried a few stuffed bell pepper recipes over the years, and this is definitely my favorite. I like how it uses simple ingredients, is easy to put together, and creates a very flavorful result. The recipe calls for store-bought pasta sauce, although you can certainly use homemade if you have some [...]
Autumn Apple and Spinach Salad
Posted in Salads, Side Dishes, tagged apple, blue cheese, citrus dressing, side salad on November 15, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Autumn Apple and Spinach Salad Usually when I make a salad to go with dinner, it is a combination of lettuce, carrots, cucumber, tomato, mushrooms, and sometimes avocado. While such a salad tastes good and provides lots of vegetables, it can become somewhat boring day after day. When I’m having dinner guests or just want [...]
Sloppy Joes

Sloppy Joes Lately, Julia has been becoming more and more of a picky eater. I do my best to serve her the same meals that Brad and I eat, because I don’t want to end up cooking two dinners every night (and I want to keep exposing her to a variety of foods, so that [...]
