beer-battered bean + cheese stuffed poblano chiles

April 5, 2013

After many a school bus ride, late-night sleepover and family huddle around the campfire, it’s safe to say that if you and I ever play the “What is the one food you could eat every day for the rest of your life?” game, my answer always will be Mexican food. I cannot and will not [...]

whole wheat pita bread

April 1, 2013

Let me walk you through a typical day lately: It’s 4:30 p.m. I haven’t showered yet or put on makeup — I’m lucky if I’ve even changed out of my pajamas into real people clothes (sometimes taking off my flannel pants and putting on my yoga pants counts as getting dressed. Real life). Mount Dishes [...]

easter brunch with bisquick — easter egg pancakes

March 27, 2013

The Easter pancake fun continues! When life gives you pancake batter, you make Easter egg pancakes. Or at least that’s how it goes in my book. Especially because it’s a really good excuse to put frosting and sprinkles on your breakfast.

easter eggs, three ways

March 25, 2013

This Easter egg-dyeing situation happened out of a moment of sheer “OhmygoshI’malmosttwentysixyearsold” panic (which is still a good month and a half away, by the way, but I like to panic early). It’s why I rolled some eggs in glitter — for my inner preteen. It’s why I wrapped parsley leaves around eggs and stained [...]

hot cross bun loaf

March 22, 2013

It’s coming up all Easter over here and I didn’t even know it was happening. I guess I just get excited about the reason for the season, and the prospect of spring (even though it’s trying to be all coy and hard-to-get over here in snowy Minnesota winterland. I know you’re there, spring, don’t try [...]

March 21, 2013

Oh yes, I totally went there. I turned my pancakes into a bunny butt and it was delicious. And weird. And delicious. And fun. And delicious. When Bisquick and Tablespoon asked me to create a few Easter-themed pancake recipes for them, I was ALL. OVER. IT. Seriously? You want me to make pancakes? Like a [...]

See this? This makes me love mornings. Well, coffee does, too, but this helps. Flaky, buttery layers with vegetables and turkey and eggs and cheese? Oh yeah, I can get down with that. Or up, if you will — up in the morning with a yummy brunch bake. And coffee.

nine-layer mexican tostadas

March 15, 2013

Because seven layers weren’t enough. Because I love Mexican food. Because — well, just because. Sometimes, an explanation isn’t necessary.

sweet + salty sesame cookies

March 11, 2013

I made you a salty cookie. I made you a cookie with sugar and sea salt inside. And butter: lots and lots of butter. I made you a cookie with egg wash and black and white sesame seeds on top. I made you a cookie you can eat with coffee or a cocktail, with olives [...]

mushroom + wild rice casserole

March 7, 2013

The snow is falling gently outside. I’m sitting on my couch in the same position I’ve been in for the last 48 hours — nestled in a blanket and a heap of tissues with my cat curled up next to me. I’m fairly certain my husband is getting tired of hearing me clear my throat [...]

influence

March 6, 2013

I’m part of this amazing community known as The Influence Network (started by the same gals who created the She Reads Truth community, which is equally awesome and socks rocking… seriously, if you need something to stir you daily, THIS is it). Anyschways, I’m participating in a little linkup as a way to get to [...]

gruyere-rosemary beer bread

March 4, 2013

I complain about it from time to time, but I like being an adult. I like doing adult things — like buying and eating ice cream whenever I want to (and getting to choose the flavor, too — bliss!). Or going on road trips whenever and wherever I want to (and not having to sit [...]

sifted words — treat yo’ self

February 28, 2013

Sheesh, it’s been a while since I last kept you abreast of what I’ve been conjuring up for the interwebs. There’s some serious yumminess going on, so I thought I’d share it with all y’all. You know, because I think you’re great and stuff. And you deserve to treat yo’ self. First up! Jelly doughnuts. [...]
