Baby Food: Introduction

June 27, 2011

  I want to apologize to my readers who do not have babies or have no interest in making your own baby food. However, I’ve gotten several requests to do a post on baby food, so here goes nothing! This will just be a brief introduction. I hope to do more posts in the future [...]

16 Bean Soup

June 23, 2011

Repeat after me: “I, beautiful, kind, smart and valued reader of Not Rachael Ray, do solemnly swear, to never, ever, ever throw away a ham bone.” Unless you’re a vegetarian or you don’t eat pork for religious reasons. But then I’m not really sure what you’re doing with a ham bone in the first place. [...]

Summer Pasta Salad

June 21, 2011

The weather around these parts changes in the blink of an eye. You put a hat and gloves on, walk outside and break out into a sweat. You think, “Wow, it is sunny and beautiful outside,” only to step into what feels like a walk-in freezer. Or perhaps it is that same “sunny” day, and [...]

Happy Father’s Day

June 19, 2011

After my Mother’s Day post and my shameless Mother’s Day post to myself, it is only fair that I also do a Father’s Day post. Not to mention the fact that I love all the dads in my life. I hope that everyone has a wonderful Father’s Day filled with happiness. I know for many people holidays [...]

Sweet and Sour Chicken

June 17, 2011

I guess I’ve been on kind of an Asian kick around here. Asian food and rhubarb (I have another rhubarb recipe coming). I also have another stir-fry coming. Eventually. I found this in Rachael Ray’s magazine. So I guess today, I sort of am Rachael Ray? Hmm. Didn’t think about this when I came up [...]

Biscotti with Ginger, Cranberries, Orange, and Cashews

June 15, 2011

When I first saw this recipe on Olga’s site, Mango and Tomato (Go there and browse, both her recipes and her photography are great!), I knew I was going to make it and I knew who I was going to make it for. My mom. This recipe just screamed her name. My mom enjoys a [...]

This is my first post for The Secret Recipe Club. I’m so excited to join this fantastic group of food bloggers. Each month we are assigned another food blog. We scour their site choosing a recipe to recreate, putting our own spin on it if we would like. This month I was assigned to Jason’s [...]

Rhubarb and Nutmeg Cake

June 10, 2011

Rhubarb is one of those things that people either love or hate. I love it. Hubby hates it. So I made this cake and then I threw three-quarters of it away. Not because it wasn’t good. Oh, it was very good. It was too good. I couldn’t stop eating it. And I had no one [...]

Braised Lamb Shanks

June 8, 2011

Today I’m guest posting for my friend Brandy over at Nutmeg Nanny. Brandy has been so good to me, helping me learn the ins and outs of WordPress and the food blogging world. And I’m going to continue to drive her nuts with my questions, because I still have a lot to learn! When she asked if [...]
