Simple Watermelon Limeade
Oh, fruity summer drinks. How I always long to drink them without thinking about calories or sugar. I almost always exercise restraint and drink water at restaurants, never indulging. Then I saw limes and watermelon on sale at the commissary and threw caution to the wind. Watermelon limeade was happening, and soon. This is so […]
Brat-tata
What do you get when a frittata and a bratwurst get together and make a delicious baby? Brat-tata. I’m not going to pretend that I didn’t laugh my head off for ten minutes after I thought of that little gem. I’m sure you all agree that it’s the clever-est (most clever?). I love when leftovers […]
MY Tuesdays With Dorie Pick: Oatmeal Breakfast Bread (Muffins)
The time has come! My Tuesdays with Dorie pick! I chose Dorie’s Oatmeal Breakfast Bread. As I was contemplating my pick, I tried to act like I was going to pick something decadent and chocolatey and sinful, but in the end, I kept coming back to this recipe. I guess I’m sort of granola. I […]
Hearty Breakfast Casserole
I am always on the search for a good casserole. I don’t really make them that often, but I always want to make them. The recipes I find just don’t seem to live up to what I want a casserole to be. I have this idea that there are some magical casserole recipes out there […]
Cinnamon Walnut Bundt
Happy National Bundt Day! Okay, so National Bundt Day was yesterday, but I did bake this bundt on that special day to show my support for bundt lovers everywhere. And of course, I wanted to honor the biggest bundt lover of all, Mary the Food Librarian, who has been on a bundt-baking crusade for the […]
Tuesdays With Dorie: Banana Bundt Cake
I mustered up the strength for TWD this week, ladies! My main reason was because I love Mary so much, but also because I’ve wanted to try out the recipe in the past. Mary is the queen of bundt cakes, but I decided to do mini loaves because (gasp!) I don’t have a bundt pan. […]
Happy Doughnut Day!
Word on the street is that it’s National Doughnut Day. I’m afraid I didn’t make you any doughnuts (cupcakes are more my thing).. I’m not exactly observing the holiday this year (vacay in a week!). But, I can share of one of the little bundt cakes that we affectionately call the “Big Fat Doughnut.” I […]
Bite Size Pop Tarts
I’m so excited to share this post with you! There’s been lots of excitement amongst Oven Lovers about this month’s PMOW (Pre-Made, Our Way) Challenge for homemade Pop Tarts, and rightfully so. Most people love this breakfast treat, but a lot of people don’t buy them because they’re filled with preservatives, HFCS and who knows […]
Tuesdays With Dorie: Mango Bread
This week’s TWD is Fresh Mango Bread. I used frozen mango. Woops. I was pretty excited about this recipe (picked by Kelly at Baking with the Boys), thinking it might be a little healthier than some of the other recipes, what with the fruit and all. I made just 1/3 of the recipe, which produced […]
A Labor of Love: Stephanie’s Bridal Shower
The shower was a great success! As far as I know, Steph had a lovely time. The food went over very well- especially the Brussel Sprout Salad- who would have thought? The idea was to have an all-white dessert buffet and seasonal savory items. I think I got it right.. what do you think? Menu: […]
