Tuesday is my son-in-law’s birthday. He loves Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and since I had seen several versions on Pinterest lately, I thought I would make him some. This morning Chef Dennis Littley, who I follow on Google+, posted a recipe from Imperial Sugar that made the truffles look like Easter Eggs. I ALWAYS use…
Bunny Rolls – Only NOT!
I’m a little ticked off right now – a few weeks ago, I saw a picture of the cutest bunny rolls on Facebook with a link to the “original” post. I went to the blog and saw the pictures, quickly read the recipe and determined since I could make them I would pin it and…
Baked Chicken Nuggets
My Nana always said you cannot count on the weather until after Easter. Last Friday? 83 F degrees. This Friday? There is a chance of SNOW! I don’t have time for snow – I’ve got a conference to put on in 29 days which requires lots of driving and I do not drive in snow….
Cheep Chicks!
The weather here was in the 80’s Friday and Saturday – today? 40’s. I am not a big fan of winter so I am sooooooo ready for spring, aren’t you? I was reading a post at the Sweet Simple Stuff blog and thought it looked so easy – I could do it and herald…
Beer Cheese Soup with Meatballs
This is the closest I get to celebrating St. Patrick’s Day these days. Mr. Picky Eater “can’t stand” the smell of cabbage cooking so corned beef and cabbage is out. But this is a nice substitute even though the cheese if from Wisconsin, the Beer from Mexico and the “meatballs” are from Germany! Interestingly, even…
Mom’s Meatloaf Sandwich
My friend Pam over at Pa-Blam was tagged in a blogging world party game called 5 Things Meme. She was supposed to tell us 5 things about herself that you most likely don’t know and tag 5 more people. It made her so nervous to tag others, she just told us to consider ourselves tagged….
Breakfast Tarts
Yeah, I know that tarts are supposed to have pastry bases and mine has hash browns but you know, whatever……….if anyone wants me to confess, here it is: “tart” is not the “right” word, but sometimes I do the “wrong” thing or say the “wrong” thing and I often find pleasure in all its “wrongness”!…
The Elegant Hamburger
Sorry everyone, only plated pictures of this one. No tutorial because Rocket is here this evening and while I am cooking, he is usually in his high chair “helping” me. There’s no time for pictures when Rocket is in the room, unless they are of him – he loves to have his picture taken. The…
Deviled Eggs with a Kick
Today is very sunny, making me think of spring but it is windy and very cold reminding me it is still winter here. Basically that means a part of me wants to get outside and run, hop, skip, and jump or at least get outside and THINK about running, hopping, skipping, and jumping. The other…
Jesus Hummus
For those who may be offended by the title, please give me a chance to explain. Several years ago, Top Girl and I were at Target when we saw some hummus. I was not a huge fan of it, but I was starving so we got a container of Sonny & Joe’s Hummus Galilee (it…
