Mrs. Polly’s Pound Cake – Can’t beat a classic!

poundcake-whole

One of my long-term personal goals is to build a repertoire of classic recipes.  I want to have a GREAT recipe for all the basics – homemade spaghetti sauce, chicken salad, macaroni and cheese – you name it!  I would love to have a heirloom family recipe album full of our family’s favorite dishes to [...]

chocolate crinkle cookies

Instead of a Sunday Recipe Rundown, I’m going to share a couple of the recipes that I’ve tried this Christmas season.  We don’t buy a lot of Christmas gifts, but we try to give away homemade tokens to people in our lives.  Sooooo…..this year, that means cookies!!! Cue my inner Cookie Monster!! COOKIIIEEEEE!!!!! Cookie No. [...]

I don’t do appetizers….well, not usually – but HAWAIIAN MEATBALLS – yum!!!

Hawaiian Meatballs

I’m not usually one to do a lot of appetizers – to me, they are always calorie-laden, delicious, but wayyyy too small portions. But tonight I had a GOOD appetizer.  As in a why-isn’t-this-a-regular-meal kind of appetizer.  Hawaiian Meatballs.  Doesn’t that just sound oxymoronic and divine at the same time!!!??  Mmmmmmmmmm……………… And it was – [...]

Has anyone ever told you that it’s hard to MAKE a salad when you don’t EAT salad???  Well, it is!   Same goes for Coffee! I have started to eat salad in recent years, but only “out”….not at home.  Generally, I don’t like homemade salads.  They just don’t usually have much oomph! So, when I was [...]

I know we are gearing up for cookie season….and this is my husband’s FAVORITE cookie recipe.  Which is a bit of a letdown honestly, because if I want to REALLY make him happy, then I don’t get to earn it by making some kind of fabulous dessert from scratch.  I have to make this.  And [...]

Sunday Recipe Rundown – 10-30-11 – Paula Deen’s Courage Chili, Crock-Pot Sausage and Spanish Rice

Alas, I’ve not been a cooking queen this week!!  I’ve cooked, yes, but not cooked.  Does that make sense?  Like, I’ve prepared meals for my family, but not tried new things, experimented, done anything exciting!  This week has been crazy, and we’ve enjoyed Mexican out twice, Ruby Tuesdays once, pizza once – and BLOWN our [...]

Mahatma Crockpot Chicken and Rice
