Peanut Butter Granola Bars

You know all those “10 things I wish I knew before I had kids” Or 5 things I wish I’d been told before I became a mom” lists that are always floating around Facebook and such?  They bug me.  Because I would have found nothing 

Rosemary Chipotle Roasted Nuts

Rosemary Chipotle Roasted Nuts

You didn’t think I could sneak in another little tidbit before Thanksgiving, did you?  Well I wouldn’t offer up anything that would mess with your probably already-set menus at this point, but this is just a little add-on.  I couldn’t help myself.  They are so 

Truffle Garlic Oven Fries

Truffle Garlic Oven Fries

I know I’ve harped on this before, but this time of year always drags on for me, food-wise.  Grocery store produce sections look unbearably pathetic, and the farmers’ market (which I know I’m lucky to have this early) has barely anything better.  Potatoes.  Some limp

Inside-Out Carrot Cake Cookies

Inside-Out Carrot Cake Cookies

  It’s a rainy Sunday, and I planned on spending the day cleaning the house, doing laundry, and doing a little baking.  To me, there is nothing better than a whole day with nothing to do except look through your cookbooks and then bake a 

Hot Onion Souffle and Pita Chips

Hot Onion Souffle and Pita Chips

  Yesterday was hot.  I mean, it was really hot for May, so much so that it was kind a shock to my system. The trees are still blossoming all pinky and purple and the I’m just recovering from the constant joy of seeing green 

Chocolate Chip Pecan Banana Muffins

Chocolate Chip Pecan Banana Muffins

  Bananas are tricky.  They look so innocent in the store, and they are cheap and yummy looking and you think things like, “Bananas would be good to have in my cereal in the morning.” But then you get them home, and it turns out
