Grilled Pizza. If I had a food truck, I’d definitely want to sell this. Cost of ingredients are fairly low, cooking time is reasonably short, and it tastes delicious! It reminds me a little bit of cooking Pizza in a brick oven. It’s cooked at a high heat for a short amount of time, and…

Playing in the Kitchen: Cinnamon Raisin Bread
Look at me, I made a loaf of bread! After making the Macaroni Grill Bread, I decided I wanted to try again, with a difference recipe, and make more of an everyday bread. After scouring the Food Network and Martha Stewart websites (to no avail) I went to The Pioneer Woman. And found a recipe…
Playing in the Kitchen: Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies
This recipe, from my grandma, makes wonderfully soft sugar cookies. Not just “not crunchy” or “chewy” but seriously SOFT. And delicious. What sets this recipe apart from your standard sugar cookie is the soured cream. No, not Sour Cream (save that for your enchiladas). These cookies call for Heavy Cream that has soured. Don’t worry,…
Playing In The Kitchen: Romano’s Macaroni Grill Bread
If you can’t grow ANYTHING, you should try growing rosemary. This herb needs very little attention, and grows like a weed. And then you can bake this bread! Ok, so the recipe I found in my Food Network Magazine called for dried rosemary, which I might have in my pantry (but if I do, it’s…
Playing in the Kitchen: Chocolate Pixies
Sometimes you are just in the mood for a good Chocolate Cookie … put you polished off that box of Thin Mints yesterday … and ate the last few Oreos the day before. Oh No! What do you do?! Well, these Chocolate Pixies are a perfect save! They are very easy to make; you don’t…
Playing in the Kitchen: Lemon Cake Pie
Golden brown on top. Then a spongy cakey layer. Then a gooey lemony layer. And crust too. This pie is definitely a family favorite, and the recipe has been passed down for several generations (on my mom’s side). Here is the original recipe, as written in my Grandma’s Cookbook: Line a pie pan with crust….
Playing in the Kitchen: NY Times No Knead Bread (Part II)
NY Times No Knead Bread. Oh my goodness, it’s a long process. Pretty simple, but you can’t really speed it along. By the time it was done, you almost aren’t in the mood for bread anymore… almost. The end result looks like a great, high quality loaf of Artisan bread. But it just tasted ok….
Playing in the Kitchen: Sweet ‘n Spicy Wings
Don’t you want to be friends with someone who’ll make you some honey-chipotle glazed wings from scratch 😀 This is the second batch, which came out better that the 1st… unfortunately my family filled up on the OK-first-batch so this one is now in the fridge. I used a recipe from the new Food Network…
Playing in the Kitchen: NY Times No Knead Bread (Part I)
I have been looking forward to trying this recipe for days… I found it out in Blog-land, where it made the round about 2 years ago when it was 1st printed in the NY Times. Since I love eating bread and conveniently own a Le Creuset dutch oven that doesn’t get enough attention, this seemed…
Playing in the Kitchen: Cream of Broccoli Soup
A bulk bag of frozen Broccoli from our latest Sams Club adventure got put in fridge instead the freezer… not good. With pounds of broccoli needing to be eaten ASAP, I though making a batch of soup would be the best way to go. A quick google search brought me to this recipe on AllRecipes.com….
