I have a ridiculously hard time getting garden pictures on here while they’re still current. This picture is about a week old, so the garden looks almost nothing like this anymore. But you can get a good sense from this shot how the potatoes have completely taken over that entire side of the bed. On [...]
If you’ve never made bagels, I highly suggest you try it. It’s really a lot of fun. I used the recipe here and added a sizeable amount of asiago cheese to produce some incredibly delicious asiago cheese bagels, panera style. Here are the glamour shots from my first bagel adventure. My favorite part was dropping [...]
I think maybe fall has gotten to my head. Yes, already. I don’t know when it started exactly, but it dawned on me at some point this week that I should send pumpkin bread to my loves who are spread all over this great nation (surprise! I hate to ruin surprises on the blog, but [...]
I love fall. With fall weather comes the opportunity to produce delicious soul-warming meals. One example of this is the Chicken Pot Pie I made for my family this week. Easy Chicken Pot Pie 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (such as Pillsbury) at room temperature 2 lbs. Russet potatoes, unpeeled and cut into 1-inch chunks [...]
About a week ago I made these and haven’t had the chance to post until now since I hadn’t loaded the pictures yet. So here they are. The idea was simple.

See, the deal is that everyone is supposed to bring a “chicken-themed” food. It could be anything relating to chickens. Like cookies in the shape of eggs – if [...]
Here, my friends, you see the humble beginnings of what is the most delicious cake to be found on the face of this planet. I know I tend to be dramatic, but I am not kidding this time. This truly is the best cake I have ever tasted. But first, can we have a moment [...]
I’m not entirely sure why I always have this urge to feed my* missionaries, but I do. For one, they’re 21 year old boys, so they can eat like there’s no tomorrow. They’re also always very excited about treats and who doesn’t like to play to an appreciative audience? Anyway, for those of you who [...]
These brownies were absolutely killer – but they took about 3 hours to make. They’re worth that effort, but I would definitely save these for a rainy day when you literally have nothing else to do. You’ll start by melting 80z. of semisweet chocolate with butter. I used Hershey’s chips because they were on sale [...]
