Calzones
This is so easy. Seriously. So. Easy. I bought some ready-made pizza dough (cheating, I know) at the grocery store and happened upon this link the other day. It didn’t give very many instructions for making it the best calzone ever, so I took that upon...

Veggie Stuffed Pancakes
“What the what? I thought pancakes were for pats of butter and sugary maple syrup.” That’s where you’re wrong, my friends. Alright, I’ll admit, the first time I saw this recipe, I was enticed, but merely because it sounded weird, and quite frankly, not...

Profiteroles
As I’m typing this, there are firecrackers crackling and Roman candles whizzing around outside on the streets. Welcome, Fourth of July Eve. Welcome. From Wikipedia: A profiterole, cream puff (US) or choux à la créme is a choux pastry ball filled with...

Stuffed Artichokes

Meatloaf

Crock-Pot Chili
For those of you that know me personally, yes, I’m giving away the secret to my chili recipe. I really can’t believe that I am, because once you read it, I know the resounding thought that will go through your head — “That’s all it took?” Yes, that’s...

Crock-Pot Hummus
Well, sort of. I cooked the chickpeas in the Crock-Pot. The actual final product also used the food processor, but you get the point. Let’s just go ahead and get this out in the open — I love Alton Brown. When I want to try a new recipe, and I start using...

Kale Chips
Como say what? Kale chips? Like, as in, kale? That weird leafy green stuff that looks tough and, well, green and leafy? Yes, that kale. They will from here forth be referred to as kale-tato chips, thanks to my husband Chris. A couple months ago, I heard...

Rainy day. Lentil soup.
So, I started a blog. I’m actually not quite sure what I’m doing. I know that I play around in the kitchen a lot, and I got a bunch of new toys as wedding presents, so I figured this would be a good spot for me to keep track of the things I like to
