Blue Cheese Dressing

I’ve only ever made this to go with our hot wings, I’ve never tried it on salad, but considering how good it is on hot wings I can only imagine it would go well with other things also. Ingredients: 1/2 Cup plain yogurt or dairy sour cream 1/4 Cup cottage cheese 1/4 Cup mayonnaise 3/4 [...]

Buffalo Chicken Strips

Boneless buffalo wings are one of my favorite foods- that’s saying a lot. We’ve been making boneless wings with our fryer for a couple of years now but 1) it’s so bad for you with all of that fried food and 2) the oil is oh so expensive. I came across this recipe a while [...]

Baked Macaroni and Cheese

I love macaroni and cheese. It stands comfortably in my top 5 favorite foods. I have a system of judging how much I like a certain food: If I would eat it cold as well as heated, it’s a winner. (e.g. the cajun chicken pasta recipe I have is excellent cold. As is the beef [...]

Cinnamon Apple Squash

I bought a butternut squash and an acorn squash at our farmers market a few weeks ago and never got around to using them. I finally decided to do something with them today but I couldn’t decide what. I finally just threw each squash into the oven and concocted this tasty little mix to go [...]

Corn bread

I absolutely love corn bread, but I haven’t had it in years. The last time I had it was, I’m certain, the Jiffy corn bread mix. That hardly counts! So when I was looking for a nice side dish or two for dinner tonight I thought of this. It paired quite nicely. Ingredients: 1 1/2 [...]

Feta dip

Since I made pita over the weekend, I figured I needed to make something fabulous to go with it. One of Brian and my favorite indulgences is pita and feta dip. I set out on a quest to find a great feta dip recipe. Turns out, it wasn’t hard! The first recipe I found was [...]

Pita bread

I love pita bread. We buy it every week or two to snack on with hummus. So, when I saw this recipe on Brown Eyed Baker I immediately added it to my Must Try list. I really enjoyed this recipe. I think next time I’m going to try half wheat flour and see how they [...]

Chocolate Ice Cream

I’m never buying store-bought ice cream again. You may hold me to this. A month or two ago Brian treated me to a brand new ice cream maker- the kitchen-aid mixer attatchment. I have an unhealthy love affair with my kitchen-aid as is. I would never bake bread without it. But now…. now it gives [...]

Spinach lasagna

I have to admit, I feel a touch silly for posting a lasagna recipe. I mean, it’s actually fairly simple, no-brainer recipe. But since Brian swears he doesn’t like lasagna, then inhaled the largest piece of lasagna I’ve ever seen, I figured aw, heck. I may as well.  I know that if I don’t write [...]
