It wasn't breakfast in bed as promised, but I did deliver the biscuits with bacon and eggs to the birthday child. This recipe is virtually idiot proof. Opt for lightly rolling out the biscuits and not too thin! You may get fewer but they'll rise higher. I used a pastry cutter to blend the butter.Continue reading “Birthday Biscuits”

For Goodness Sake, It’s 13 Degrees Blueberry Crumb Cake
I'm trying to save the last piece of blueberry crumb for my air warrior, but it's tough. This time, I got it perfect and I'm a harsh baking critic. The recipe calls for 45-50 minutes baking. If it feels a little soft @ 45, leave it in for 5 more. Mine took 50 exactly. Also,Continue reading “For Goodness Sake, It’s 13 Degrees Blueberry Crumb Cake”
Cookies…Yeah, That Kind of Cold
There's only one respite from the polar vortex, and I mean inside or out. I've got to be in front of a warm oven. That probably explains why I baked the whole batch of rugelach (like a Jewish croissant cookie) instead if saving half for later. We also made these cookies in the cooking classContinue reading “Cookies…Yeah, That Kind of Cold”
Not Take-Out Stir Fry
Use beef or sub chicken like I did, this dish is faster to make than waiting for a delivery. Start the rice first. Also on our All American, larger portion, teen enriched table, the recipe barely served four portions. Up the quantity, lower your intake, or add a super fiber rich side…broccoli and ginger anyone?Continue reading “Not Take-Out Stir Fry”

Here's one way to use up leftover nuts. (Click here for the recipe) Use your faves. By request I made dry roasted salted peanut and slivered almond nut brittle. If using raw nuts, I suggest toasting them in a dry pan or a 350 oven before adding to the candy. Eat – B PostedContinue reading “Untitled”
Pumpkins For Your Pumpkins
A 17 year tradition! Use an open cookie cutter wiped with veggie oil or baking spray and fill it right on the griddle. You might need to run a knife around the edge after you flip, but it's worth it. This is an amended Martha recipe. (Click here for the recipe) I added another tablespoonContinue reading “Pumpkins For Your Pumpkins”
Festival of Peaches
Who woulda thunk…best peach season ever is lingering! Today features a fruit crumble. Later this week: pie! And because stone fruit gods were smiling over the weekend…a farmer's market bargain ($4 for 9 peaches!) could mean peach pie again for the third annual après Thanksgiving. **Assemble and freeze raw pie, bake as normal without defrosting.Continue reading “Festival of Peaches”
No Scream Ice Cream
From the annals of Martha Stewart (click here) I give you 1-2-3 ice cream. Really! Even my son can make this, and has. 2 cups of heavy cream whipped stiffly 1 can sweetened condensed milk mixed with… 2 Tablespoons vanilla Combine above and freeze in loaf pan. Scoop, enjoy – B The original (see link)Continue reading “No Scream Ice Cream”
For the Love of Pesto
I love pesto…and it loves my hips. Back in the day, I used to (and sometimes still do) add butter after I tossed the pasta with all the oil, herb, cheesy, nutty deliciousness that is pesto. After all, what was one more fat added to the mix. I was still in my thirtees! But nowContinue reading “For the Love of Pesto”
A Mostly Meat Free Monday
Let’s preface this by saying, I really did not feel like cooking tonight. I didn’t want to make the planned stir fry. I didn’t want to celebrate meatless Monday. I didn’t want to leave the sofa or the bodice ripper that got delivered to the office among the cookbooks. That said, I got up andContinue reading “A Mostly Meat Free Monday”
