Weekend Breakfast

This french toast recipe takes french toast over the top. The Challah bread is moist and the addition of the orange zest really makes a difference so do not leave it out! Serve this along with a side of your favorite breakfast meat and fruit. Challah French ToastRecipe Courtesy of Ina Garten 6 extra-large eggs…

Mens Breakfast

It has been a while since I blogged about the men’s breakfast held at our house biweekly. This week I made a spinach and bacon quiche (it is definitely a keeper because the quiche turns out very flaky) and homemade cinnamon rolls. I found the recipe for the cinnamon rolls on a blog I frequent…

Chicken Tacos

I’ve been accused of having recipes that are too difficult and not easy enough to prepare in a weeknight. Who, moi? Well, you complained and I listened. These chicken tacos have three ingredients and uses a crockpot…it doesn’t get any easier. You can always adjust the spice level by adding chili pepper or some chipotle…

French Boule

Pictures in this post were updated April, 2019. One of my favorite cookbooks that I acquired last year is Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. The authors promise that anyone can bake a loaf of bread that rivals something from a French bakery in just five minutes of active preparation time. I have made…

Valentines Day Supper

I don’t know if it is because we are now parents or the fact that we live in a town where we don’t have many people to call upon for babysitting but it seems like the last couple of years have been very low key for us for Valentines Day. Gone are the days of…

Birthday Party Fare

My son turned two a few weeks ago and we had a small party for him at the house. We served a small lunch and cake for dessert. I got the recipe for these hamburger sliders from Jessica Seinfeld’s cookbook, Deceptively Delicious. The burgers were very moist and delicious! We served them along with these…

Bread Machine Buttery Rolls

I have attempted several times to make dinner rolls and have failed miserably. I’m not sure if it’s the altitude or just error on my part. I found this recipe on a blog I frequent and I loved that it starts in the bread machine. They are very easy to make and turned out super…

Cauliflower Soup

I got a head of cauliflower in my organic box this past week and I was really excited so that I could try this recipe. Cauliflower is pretty bland and I usually fix it in an Indian curry but this soup is so flavorful! Here is the original recipe. I adapted it so that it…

My Favorite Pot Roast

I found this recipe in my Everyday Food magazine and I’ll never use another recipe again. It is completely easy and we love the gravy that is included. We usually have this alongside mashed potatoes, green beans and homemade rolls. Slow-Cooker Pot RoastRecipe Courtesy of Everyday Food Magazine Serves 8 1 tablespoon cornstarch 8 medium…
