Triple Chocolate Chunk Chocolate Cookies
…a very bad girl. I made these triple chocolate chunk chocolate cookies. YUM. Let me tell you. They are simply amazing. The combination of flavors is exquisite. My husband was so excited about them that he ate three as soon as he came home. But then again, so did I. That’s why I have been [...]
WHB: Stuffed Basil Omelet
This week has just zipped by so I am already looking towards the weekend, which means time for Weekend Herb Blogging, hosted by Kalyn’s Kitchen. WHB was on the road last week, but it’s back home with Kalyn this week. Next week, Sweetnicks will be playing host though. This week I reverted to my favorite [...]
ARF: Chocolate Surprise Cupcakes
I used this cupcake recipe from All Recipes, and cut out a cone shape from the center once they cooled. I filled them with the filling from this Hostess knockoff recipe. Then I coated the tops with a simple bittersweet chocolate ganache. Due to the flawed methodology of my filling (it would have been better [...]
Frenching: My First Time (Homemade French Bread)
This loaf of homemade French bread didn’t come out exactly as I expected. I was thinking more along the lines of a baguette. But the taste won me over in an instant. It has a yummy salty crust and a delicious doughy interior. And I think it could easily be adapted into that baguette I [...]
Grilled Tilapia Recipe
My friend , Angelmary over at Chocolate Shakti, turned me onto tilapia a few months back. See, her mom makes this amazing breaded tilapia that she said I just HAD to try. Her mom made it for me when she was visiting Angel and it was out of this world. I’ve tried to duplicate her [...]
Grilled Garlic Grape Tomatoes
Yes, my obsession with the grill continues . . . These lovely grape tomatoes were $1 for the pint at my local Big Y supermarket this week (sorry to all the Eat Local bloggers, farm markets here have yet to open. In fact, most aren’t opening until late June/early July.) In any case, I decided [...]
Grilled Potato Wedges
Can you tell I am on a grilling kick here? It’s been beautiful out this week and I have barely come in contact with my stove. It’s so nice to be able to roast my entire meal on one cooking surface. It really cuts down on dishes, clean up and time. Now if I could [...]
Grilled Baby Corn
I’ve been admiring the baby vegetables in the produce section of my local supermarket recently and finally gave into the temptation this past week, picking up a pack of fresh baby corn. I am all for eating locally, but for now I must resign myself to the grocery store for vegetables. Here in New England, [...]
Grilled Herb Parmesan Asparagus
I make no secret of it. I love asparagus. When I was younger, I would eagerly eat the tender tips and skip the thready bottom, but with age I have come to even appreciate that aspect. And now I know that I could always peel that off with a vegetable peeler. For the past month [...]
Two ta-das! in a week? Say it ain’t so!
Last Friday, my friend Kim challenged me to create a broccoli salad recipe for her that met certain specifications. I set out to create something like a salad she’d had at a party some time ago. While I don’t know if this recipe is anything like that (and if it isn’t I certainly will try [...]
