What’s Cookin’… Pizza Bites!

Posted on Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

Ok, who doesn’t like Totino’s Pizza Rolls?  They’re so yummy.  And the perfect quick kid dinner.  But dang, they’re expensive!  And there are never coupons for them, so that means that I don’t have them in my freezer very often. And the kids are always requesting them.  So I decided to do a quick online […]

What’s Cookin’… Apple Bread

Posted on Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

This recipe is AMAZING.  Last year, I probably made it 10 times in the fall.  I even made mini loaves to give to kids teachers at church for Christmas, wrapped them (the mini loaves… not my kids :)) in a dish towel, and tied it up with a single serving Tastefully Simple Oh My Chai […]

What’s Cooking… Bodacious Blueberry Muffins

Posted on Thursday, August 20th, 2009

These have made it into the top tier of my “most used recipes”.   I tried them about a year ago, and when I want a GOOD fluffy blueberry muffin, this is the best.  Recently, I loaned out my recipe card, and I had to search and search all over the internet this morning to track […]

What’s Cookin’… Lasagna ala Lane

Posted on Thursday, June 4th, 2009

This is good, good stuff.  My mother-in-law makes delicious, traditional lasagna.  And when I saw the beautiful Taylor Lane putting this all together in my kitchen tonight, I wasn’t sure I’d like it, as I don’t like too much onion and I REALLY don’t like sausage.  But  the sauce is amazing, and the *secret* ingredient […]

What’s Cookin’ – Food in Review!

Posted on Saturday, February 21st, 2009

A couple weeks ago, I shared my cooking plans.  I wanted to come back and let you know how it all turned out… Asian Peanut Butter Pork – I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this!  The onions (which I don’t normally like) were very milk, the peanut butter flavor wasn’t overwhelming, and […]

What’s Cookin’ – Pumpkin Bars

Posted on Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

These have become one of my two signature desserts.  They are amazing. I keep a can of pumpkin and a block of cream cheese on hand at all times, so they can be whipped up when needed.  And they can be lightened up with no compromise to taste! Pumpkin Bars (courtesy of AllRecipes.com) Preheat oven […]

What’s Cookin’ – Panera at home

Posted on Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

I’ll admit… I LOVE Panera.  Their bagels are so yummy, and their sandwiches are one of my favorite lunches.  I usually get a panini with a salad.  But tonight’s dinner was just as good, and cheaper, and at home. This summer I treated myself (as an anniversary present 🙂 ) to a grill pan.  I’ve […]

What’s Cookin’… Skillet Smashed Potatoes

Posted on Friday, September 26th, 2008

Back in July, I tried out a new recipe for Cracked Potatoes, using both this skillet recipe and this oven recipe.  I, personally, love potatoes in any form, so they both were tasty.  But the skillet version was a bit better.  The one problem was that when you “crack” the potatoes, they start to fall […]
