Now, depending on who you are, the picture down there might not look so appetizing. But I promise this was one of the most well received dinners at my house in a long time, and I quickly put it into the category of “company dinners.” Not that we ever have company for dinner (and if [...]

Sometimes, you just want some comfort food. After a few weeks of tossing around making another box of Tuna Helper (oh, thrilling meal that it is) I decided to make this instead. It was easy, it was satisfying, and more importantly, it had noodles and cheese in it.
6 oz. egg noodles, cooked to package directions

This is my mommy’s birthday cake. I guess technically it was both of my parents’ birthday cakes, since their birthdays are only a few days apart, but it was made with my mom in mind. She has this thing about mice. Not real mice, mind you (I think she’d scream and run away if she [...]

I whipped these up tonight for dessert but couldn’t resist sampling one before dessert time rolled around. I also couldn’t resist eating any icing that may have found its way out of the icing bowl and on to my finger. The original recipe yeilded 16 cupcakes – I halved to make 8. The halved recipe [...]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! With a name like Erin, how could I resist something at least vaguley resembling a traditional Irish recipe? Although I tend not to like soda bread, this recipe from Big Red Kitchen has changed my mind. It is moist, flavorful, and has a good crust. Best of all, it takes about [...]
Still working out a few details on the new appearance of the site. Hope you like how it’s looking so far!
Although the title of these is fudge brownies, even following the “make it as fudgey as possible” instructions leaves me with something resembling mousse when it goes into the pan, and tasting a little bit [...]
This is another slightly adapted Cooking Light recipe. I really enoyed it, and although my husband was dubious upon seeing that can of creamed corn in a bowl, he came around when it came out of the oven. It was easy, flavorful, and tasted like the corn pudding that you get at Chevy’s.
1 c. Mexican [...]
Now, these will never top the wonderful confection that graced this site in my early days, but they literally took about 30 seconds to prepare and were done in 20 minutes. This makes them fantastic in my book.
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1/2 c. sugar
2 Tbs melted butter
2 Tbs cinnamon
Unfold puff pastry, and spread melted [...]

In addition to having a funny name, this was one of the easiest things I’ve made for dinner in a long time. We had it with some Thai seasoned green beans from Trader Joe’s. Next time, I might use garlic chile paste instead of the chopped chile. I could have dealt with a much stronger [...]
I know this is a little bit late for the Superbowl, but I thought I’d post it anyway since it was such a huge success here. I’m not a fan of blue cheese, so I went with ranch, but you could easily change this to your liking. I really threw it together as I went [...]
