My blogging and life, in general, have been in a funk lately. I am doing things that I do not enjoy (such as soul-sucking work), and quite frankly, it is depressing, and it prevents me from doing much else when I am free. It has been a while since I posted much here or even… Continue reading Mexican, Healthy Style Pizza
Butter Drop Biscuits
Hello, blogosphere. It’s me again. How are you? No. It’s OK; I’m used to talking to myself. I love biscuits with a capital L. Let’s face it, who does not enjoy biscuits? My trust in you is based on your love of biscuits. Definitely. “America’s Test Kitchen The TV Companion Cookbook 2009” provides the recipe… Continue reading Butter Drop Biscuits
Hearty French Onion Soup Recipe
My life’s greatest pleasure is French onion soup; rich beefy broth, sweet, soft onions, buttery bread, and gooey, crusty cheese. Is there anything better? When someone else makes it for you, it is the ultimate comfort food. By the time this recipe is ready, no matter how much you want to make it for yourself… Continue reading Hearty French Onion Soup Recipe
Pumpkin Pie Muffin Recipe
On Halloween, the Irish carved turnips into jack-o-lanterns instead of pumpkins. This was something I heard on the History channel. My least favorite ingredient is pumpkin. It’s not that I dislike it; it’s just that I don’t love it. However, I have been experimenting more with pumpkin lately, and this made me eager to make… Continue reading Pumpkin Pie Muffin Recipe
Linguine with Fresh Pasta and Clam Sauce
Linguine with clam sauce does not inspire any cute stories or anecdotes. Essentially, this dish is just a combination of my favorite foods – pasta, clams, garlic, and of course, Parmesan cheese. Whenever I crave this, I make it, and I always feel satisfied after eating it. A simple, salty sauce with tons of garlic… Continue reading Linguine with Fresh Pasta and Clam Sauce
A Healthy Shrimp Roll Recipe
Janet selected the recipe this week, and her choice was a Lobster Roll. The only thing that says summer to me is excellent seafood, or more specifically, shellfish. Shellfish is my favorite food – shrimp, lobster, mussels, and my famous littleneck clam. I’ll eat it all, no matter what form you prepare it in. This… Continue reading A Healthy Shrimp Roll Recipe
A NY Style Breakfast
This week it was my turn to pick something for my family, and I chose a New York Breakfast. Like the recipe author, I grew up in New York (I may have mentioned that a bazillion times on this blog already), and thus I grew up eating lots of bagels with cream cheese and various… Continue reading A NY Style Breakfast
A Brownie Tribute
The brownies are a tribute to Audrey Hepburn. There is nothing better than them. I love these brownies because they are rich and chocolaty, moist, fudgy, and just a bit gooey. Almost no flour is used, and there is no rising agent, so they are thin and dense. The calories and fat are worth it.… Continue reading A Brownie Tribute
Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup Recipe
I was looking forward to this week’s recipe pick, and it has been on my radar for quite some time. The recipe Leslie picked was Sweet and Spicy Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. Who wouldn’t be excited about grilled cheese sandwiches? Sweet caramelized onions and spicy pepper jack cheese are added to a humdrum grilled cheese, as… Continue reading Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup Recipe
Swedish Apple Cake Recipe
Let’s talk about this cake. This is the cake I made for my boss and his family. Currently, his wife is undergoing chemotherapy (she is expected to make a full recovery), and we decided to put together a care package of food for them after the latest round. Not only was I happy to do… Continue reading Swedish Apple Cake Recipe
