Due to increased 2nd trimester energy, I have found myself baking and cooking more lately. Two things I really enjoy doing. I thought I’d share a few iPhone pictures of things I’ve made lately and their recipe, if you’d like to try them out yourself.
I made these Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies a couple weeks ago [...]
James and I were married three years ago last month. With all the craziness surrounding my party, we decided to celebrate low key and not spend a whole lot.
I put together a 4 course menu (with a little help from my brother).
We started with a cheese course in the living room while we watched our [...]
I finally pulled images off my point and shoot and found some food photos I thought I’d share.
This was another summer type salad I threw together one evening for dinner. Mixed greens, chicken, feta, Granny Smith apples, strawberries and maple coated pecans. I think I did a honey, pear vinegar, orange juice and olive oil [...]
I had another quick recipe I wanted to share with you. This one I sort of created with what I had on hand at home.
I sauteed some chicken and added honey near the end for a little sweetness. The pecans I roasted quickly in a pan, took off the heat and tossed with some maple [...]
Is anyone still here? Goodness, it’s been way too long! I’ve missed my fun, creative blog and have so many things to share with you all. I hope you’ll give me a second chance.
I thought I’d do a come back post with some yummy food shots. Back in March my mom retired, for a second [...]
I feel bad for not blogging lately on here. I have been busy with posts over at VP. Lots of fun wedding details this week. Also, life in general keeps me hopping. I still have my sewing machine and supplies strewn about the dining room from our sewing day a few weeks back. I am [...]
I love to cook. I just don’t love to cook all the time. There are days when I get home from work and all I want to eat is popcorn. If I were single that wouldn’t be a big problem. James requires food though. Meals and snacks through out the day and he likes to [...]
I am just now getting back into the swing of things after a few days off work and some vacation time spent with the in-laws. They came down from Ohio on Thursday and left yesterday. It was very relaxing as we didn’t plan a thing and just enjoyed spending time together.
I am slowly catching up [...]
Obviously I didn’t use California Bartlett pears for this recipe but the ones from my coworker. The recipe calls for 3 but I think I ended up using 5 or 6 maybe? They are small pears.
This is the baked good I took to work for everyone to enjoy and I think it [...]
Here is the first recipe I made using a few of the pears. You can find the full recipe here.
I made mine in a bread pan instead of a round pan as pictured in the link. I think it serves better sliced instead of scooped out of a bowl. I would also recommend eating it [...]
