Cappuccino Brownies

February 27, 2011

I seize any opportunity that I can to make a delicious baked good. We had friends coming over last night, and this recipe had been on my mind ever since I saw it on How Sweet It Is. I love chocolate, I love coffee, and the combination is even better! Cappuccino Brownies (Very generously adapted [...]

Tacos, Night Two (Remix)

February 26, 2011

I’m not a super huge fan of leftovers. Part of me loves them, because I don’t have to cook that night. I love to cook, but it is always nice to have a night off! However, I am easily bored by eating the same thing two nights in a row. I like to do something [...]

My Take on Tacos

February 24, 2011

Tonight is taco night. My husband loves tacos, fajitas, etc. For him, it is a healthy meal. For me, I pile on the sour cream, cheese, and guacamole. Well, sometimes I try to moderate myself. I didn’t buy sour cream this week at the grocery store. Lately I’ve been grating my own cheese instead of [...]

Meatball Subs

February 22, 2011

This recipe is adapted from Smitten Kitchen. It is a great blog with beautiful photos. The original recipe can be found here. I made it with sweet potato fries (Ore Ida) which were very good. Healthy, too, because they are sweet potatoes….right? This was a hearty meal and we were both left feeling extremely full. I [...]

Bread Pudding (Blueberry)

February 17, 2011

I had some getting-stale white bread that I needed to use up. It is part of hubby’s Sunday night dinner–a 99 cent loaf of french bread and a rotisserie chicken from Kroger. I have popcorn. Usually I also drink a protein shake with banana and spinach, so that the little one gets something nutritious from [...]

Cake Batter Chocolate Bark (howsweeteats.com)

February 11, 2011

I love batter of any type. So when I came across this recipe, I knew I had to try it. My parents are visiting this weekend, so I’m hoping that they will help me eat it. That is my excuse for making it at least. Original recipe can be found here. Now I have some [...]

Rhubarb

February 10, 2011

Sometimes I get such a craving for rhubarb, even when I’m not pregnant. I see it on the shelf at the grocery store and I just have to buy it. Ben doesn’t like it (too sour) so it is all mine! This isn’t much of a recipe, but I thought I would share how I [...]

Mashed Carrots with Honey and Chili Powder

February 7, 2011

I made these for our family Thanksgiving. Most of the members of my family like to try new things, so it was the perfect opportunity. Plus, we were coming from a distance and this was something that could be made ahead and reheated when we arrived. It is hard to come up with recipes that [...]

Mushroom Pappardelle with Taleggio Cheese

February 5, 2011

It has been requested that I post some vegetarian recipes! This is a super delicious pasta recipe. I made it as a side dish, but it could easily be a main dish with a nice side salad.  It is bit of splurge, because of both the prices of some of the ingredients as well as [...]
