I’ve heard a lot of folks complain over the years that they never know how many spaghetti noodles to cook when making pasta. A friend of mine literally just throws in an entire box every time she makes spaghetti and ends up with leftovers that last forever. That hasn’t been an issue for me, now …

There’s ‘snow’ time like the present to try these cookies
It’s probably not surprising that I have cornered the market on bringing desserts to family get togethers. I absolutely love to bake, and my family has been gracious enough to endure my recipe experiments on a regular basis. For Christmas this year, we’re keeping our group small with immediate family, so I sent a text …

How ‘yam’ I still surprised at this point?
I managed to hit the local grocery store at just the right time a few nights ago to score a couple huge steaks on a great sale. I was pumped about my luck, and I decided to grab a few sweet potatoes for a side dish to go along with them for a killer meal. …

A salted caramel pie is quite ‘apple’ing
One of the cooking habits I have developed over the years is to push recipes just a bit. I love to double spices, add extra ingredients and play with proportions. Normally, that works out really well for me. I love the extra flavor an additional teaspoon of vanilla can provide, and there’s nothing like the …
Candied pecan casserole makes for sweet memories
For the last few years, some dear friends of ours invited us over for “Friendsgiving” at their home around Thanksgiving time. It’s always been a great time to get to know new folks and share in a huge potluck meal. Of course, this year, that meal couldn’t happen, but instead, Joey and I might have …

You won’t have to ‘mull’ over trying this recipe
I have to confess to a new addiction. I’m hoping that if I say it out loud, I will have more of a will to fight it, but I’m pretty sure I’m in too deep. In true addict form, though, I want you to know that it isn’t my fault. The blame lands firmly on …

Don’t let me ‘cashew’ skipping this recipe
If you’re bored and want to blow your mind sometime, I highly recommend doing a quick web search for how cashews grow. I have assumed for a long time that cashews, just grow inside a normal shell and look pretty much like a walnut or a peanut. But they don’t. At all. Instead, the nut, …

Make a great week even ‘Moroccan’ with veggie stew
Despite some of the balmier days lately, I’m certain autumn is upon us after seeing multiple “It’s fall, ya’ll” signs around town. Fall is always my favorite time of year, mostly because I’m excited to have slightly cooler temperatures that let me pull out my favorite sweatshirts, and I can start cooking up soup as …

Mexican recipe makes plenty to eat today and ‘tamale’
Throughout the summer, we discovered that, for some reason, pork butts were on fantastic sales. Because Joey loves to fire up his smoker in the backyard, we bought quite a few of them and have lots of delicious, smoked pork in our freezer. We mostly use it to make tacos, combining the pork in a …

Pastries are dish worth ‘scone’ing on about
I don’t get a chance to listen to the radio much on the weekends, but when I do, I try to catch the public radio show “The Splendid Table.” It’s a fun listen, if you’ve never heard it. The show isn’t just about sharing recipes. They tend to jump into all aspects of food—the culture, …
