Spanish Frittata
I served this frittata this past Saturday since I had a house full of people in for the long holiday weekend. It served eight people easily and was really easy to put together the morning of. It can be served hot or at room temperature for those late morning risers. I think next time I…
The Perfect Cup of Chai
Tea time is a strong part of Indian culture. We have the British to thank for that portion of our culture. (The 200 years of British rule we could have done without but tea time wasn’t so bad). Everyday around 4 p.m., everyone stops to have a cup of tea and some snacks like mixture…
Turkey Burgers
This may be the easiest recipe I’ve blogged about. Ever. It has three ingredients (a first for me, I’m sure!) and it really was quite delicious. Many of you may already fix your burgers this way but this was new for me. I’ve never used Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix before but I needed one…
Afternoon Tea
Last Saturday I hosted an afternoon tea for a friend at church who is moving away. It was such fun to pull out all the linens, china and some random accents that I had packed away in boxes in the basement that I have no room for in my kitchen. The girls came over around…
Individual Meat Loaves
You can easily make this into a large loaf but I think it’s a little more special to serve them up individually. The cooked onions really add moisture to the loaf and I love that you have most of these ingredients in your pantry and freezer at all times. It makes for an easy weeknight…
Broadmoor Banana Bread
The Broadmoor Hotel is a five star hotel in Colorado Springs. It oozes luxury and elegance and the minute I saw it, I was enchanted. I’ve only stayed there once and it lived up to all of my expectations. I told my hubby that I would gladly work there (They have a culinary apprenticeship program). …
Parmesan Chicken
Chicken has a tendency to be very flavorless, especially chicken breast. This recipe is reminiscent of the pork chop recipe I’ve shared before. Pounding the chicken breast with a mallet or rolling pin really tenderizes it. (I have made this before without pounding the chicken and it was simply awful. And the only reason I…
Chocolate Chip Cookies
I made these cookies years ago and had forgotten about them until a friend reminded me of them recently. These are unlike any other chocolate chip cookies you’ve ever tasted! The batter is almost cake-like because of the addition of the sour cream. A cross between a chocolate chip cookie and cake? Yes, please! Chocolate…
Lentil Soup
I got the urge to make lentil soup when I was freezing meals for my then 8 month old daughter. She loves the lentil soup that I had made her and I really wanted to make something that all of us could enjoy. This is more like an Italian minestrone soup with lentils. Truth be…
