recipe: Peanut Butter Brownies

November 15, 2008

"This is yet another recipe photo session I did back in September that I couldn’t get to while my laptop was out of commission. I made these brownies for my Pampered Chef party, late at night, while I had a pretty raging case of PMS. My advice? NEVER make chocolate peanut butter brownies late at [...]"

recipe: Slow-Cooker Chicken Taco Soup

November 06, 2008

"Last month right before my laptop died, I did another Ree-inspired cooking photo session while making dinner. Unfortunately, I downloaded the pictures to my computer, deleted them from my camera, and then my computer went kaput before I had a chance to do another backup to my external drive. So, the photos remained un-reachable for [...]"

recipe: Sun-dried Tomato Cream Sauce Pasta with Chicken

August 23, 2008

"One of my favorite favorite cooking blogs is Ree’s. The recipes simple and easy-to-follow, and actually include ingredients that I’ve HEARD OF and can FIND AT THE STORE, both steps that are very important, obviously. (Nothing like reading a recipe and going ‘What the heck is that? What aisle would that be in? Do they [...]"

recipe: Singapore Rice Noodle

January 09, 2008

" When I started working at Pitt, oh so many (six? eek!) years ago, I discovered my favorite restaurant. A small, dive-y-looking Thai place called The Spice Island Tea House.

recipe: Texas BBQ Chicken Quesadillas

August 07, 2007

"I found this recipe a year or two ago, and I never made it until just recently. It is super-yummy! I made it again the other night, and it was just as good as the first time. The thing I like about it is that it’s very flexible- I stick with the basics, but you [...]"

recipe: fruit pizza

July 08, 2007

"I’ve had a request (from Melissa!) to share the recipe for the fruit pizza I made on the 4th of July. So here you go! The crust: 1 - 20 oz package of sugar cookie dough (I use the pre-packaged, cheating stuff that comes in blocks you break apart) 8 oz Cool Whip 4 to 8 oz cream cheese [...]"

recipe: crockpot lasagna

February 13, 2007

"Originally, I thought about making this a weekly thing, maybe call it ‘Recipe Sunday’ or ‘Recipe Tuesday’ or whatever day I decided. But… I realized that a) I’d never be able to stick to that and b) I’d never be able to stick to that. So, instead, I’ll plan on posting recipes when I think [...]"

recipe: buffalo chicken pasta

November 14, 2006

"Since I’m more of a housewife now than I’ve ever been before (not that I had to go far to beat my previous status, heh) I think I’ll start posting some of the recipes I’ve been trying out lately. Some of them are from family members and I’ve had them sitting in my recipe box [...]"
