Delicious Pumpkin Pancakes Recipe

When I woke up Monday, I had but one thing on my mind: pumpkin pancakes. With leftover canned organic pumpkin puree from Trader Joe’s calling from my fridge, I knew I had to put it to use. What better way than a warm, fluffy pancake?
With the pumpkin added and the accompanying spices, these delicious babies [...]

The $7 Dinner Challenge: Week 3

Posted on October 28, 2008 - Filed Under $7 Dinner Challenge | 6 Comments

Shawn just caught on that every Monday we’ve been eating dinner for just $7. And he was kind of dreading tonight’s meal as a result. I certainly don’t blame him. It is breathtaking to think about putting a full meal on the table for four people for just $7. Your mind jumps eight steps down [...]

Iced Pumpkin Cookies Recipe,

Posted on October 26, 2008 - Filed Under Cookies | 3 Comments

It’s been quite a while since I last baked. Baking takes precision, measuring, several bowls … all excesses that I just haven’t had time for recently.

“Hey, Will, are you hungry?”
“Hungry? Yes, I hungry. What am I going to eat?”
“How about Monkey Breakfast?”
“Monkey Breakfast! Yes! I eat Monkey Breakfast!”

I was leafing through the November issue of Martha Stewart Living the other morning when I saw a recipe for baked artichoke hearts. It sounded interesting, and as luck would have it, I’d just purchased some frozen artichoke hearts and they were aching to be used.
At first, the plan was to serve this to the [...]

The $7 Dinner Challenge: Week 2

Posted on October 21, 2008 - Filed Under $7 Dinner Challenge | 3 Comments

Last week, I planned and primped and prepared for The $7 Dinner Challenge. Blood, sweat and tears went into that menu. Okay, maybe not blood, but you get the idea. This week? Everything pretty much fell into my lap. Seriously. And I didn’t even think about how inexpensive a meal this was until Cate mentioned [...]

10-Minute Salsa Chicken

Of course I knew it was a school day for Will the other day, but I felt like there was still plenty of time before the rush and routine of getting ready to go. I was sitting on the couch, Will on my lap, watching something forgettable when it struck me: It was nearing noon [...]

Cooking Break: Thighs Over Rice

Posted on October 15, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized | 4 Comments

I have a confession. Some days, I just don’t feel like cooking. I know, I know, it’s hard to believe. I love to cook, and love to write about cooking. I love feeding people good food and showing others that you needn’t have a degree from a high and mighty culinary school to make a [...]
