I definitely made this recipe before we all got whatever plague my son’s pre-school passed along to us this week. Pre-school has been great for P’s social development and terrible for mine! We are sick all the time, I swear he misses like 50% of pre-school from being sick. It’s a ruthless cycle of life …
Being an old-ass mom of a newborn and extremely active 3 year old, I’m allllll about the speediness of dinner. Bon Appetit put out a super weird (and quick) recipe for a smashburger; that is, a burger you make on the grill but in a pan (on the grill). I had been making BA’s “smashburger” …
Things are moving along in our household at the pace of a bullet train as we count down the days (24-holy moly!!!) until the arrival of baby number two this month! I’d love to say our environment is a calming one for these final 3 weeks of pregnancy, but with my three year old becoming …
When I make this easy Sunday pot roast, it fills the house with a warm, rich beefy smell that immediately makes me think of my Nana. My Nana made pot roast all the time; even in the middle of summer which is what Nashville feels like this week despite it now officially being Fall. TOO HOT! Anyway, …
Isn’t ‘spatchcock’ a super fun word to say? This chicken recipe boasts (and roasts!) a whole succulent chicken in only 40 minutes flat! Using just olive oil, salt and pepper, you too, can create your own chicken masterpiece. You know how most roast chicken recipes tell you to tie strings snugly around the bird’s body and legs, compacting …
If the month of March’s slogan is, “comes in like a Lion”, I think January’s slogan should be, “comes in like a slap”! Let’s face it, we just finished almost two straight months of gluttony; Thanksgiving dinner, Thanksgiving leftovers, Christmas cookies, multiple holiday parties and feasts (more leftovers) and don’t forget something lavish for NYE, too! Now all of a …
Baked doughnuts are definitely not fried doughnuts but basically eating a doughnut for breakfast is like eating cake for breakfast so everyone still wins. This particular doughnut is in fact called a cake doughnut, meaning there isn’t any yeast involved. You can totally be eating doughnuts in roughly 30 minutes from beginning to end and …
This banana muffin mini-bundt post almost didn’t happen today… almost. I always post a recipe in honor of my sister’s birthday, which happens to fall on St. Patrick’s day. These banana bundts have nothing to do with St. Patrick’s day other than if my sister were here, I’d have made them for her for breakfast. …
It’s (still) summer even though I’m already doing what hubs calls “forcing fall” – wearing long sleeves, jackets and sweaters before it’s truly cold enough outside to do so. I love beginning of the fall season, the first time you see your breath in the morning, first frost on the grass, until finally, the smell of …
In my last post I mentioned toaster oven chocolate chip cookies for two. Again, this is about all the baking/creativity I’ve been able to manage lately. When The Hubs isn’t home, it seriously comes down to living off of what I can make in the toaster oven. I don’t know about you, but when I make cookies …
