Easy Chocolate Yogurt Cookies

I'm not a big fan of sweets or chocolate; bacon and ribeyes are my idea of comfort food. Something tells me my "girl card" is in danger of being revoked. But I could eat these cookies all day long. They're a little crisp around the edges and gooey in the middle and are heaven when they're ...

Personal Sized Crustless Quiche Recipe

One of the many things I stressed about as I was preparing myself for Cara to start kindergarten was breakfast. I wanted her to eat something more than sugary cereal--which I worried wouldn't keep her full--but I didn't want to have to wake up any earlier than absolutely necessary. Enter make ahead and freeze breakfast stuff. These ...

2012 has come to a close and now we're on to 2013. I can vividly remember it being 1990. I feel quite old all of a sudden. We've been in the house a year now. Cara started school. Tucker's almost done with his. I got offered a job. I found my biological mother and siblings. ...

bolted-purple-basil-8.9

The garden has become somewhat of an epic fail. Correction: what's doing awesome is REALLY doing awesome and what's sucking is REALLY sucking. The purple basil is something I'm proud of. I managed to raise one plant from seed and the second plant came from me pruning the first. I don't use this type in cooking--I have ...

Mango Tomato Pico de Gallo Recipe

I'm in the process of making dinner--broiled tilapia tacos and I had to stop to jot down this recipe so I don't forget it. I'm sharing it with you because I love you...and I regularly use my own site to find food I've made in the past. But I love you. That's what's important. Best salsa thing I've ever ...

Recipe: Roasted Bacon Chicken with Thyme Garlic Yukon Gold Potatoes and Baby Carrots

Roasted/baked chicken is probably one the easiest--and most impressive--things I cook...other than my Braided Egg Bread; that stuff looks amazing and is a cinch. I'm all about maximum payoff with minimum effort. Even if you don't have the bacon--you should ALWAYS have bacon--this way of preparing a chicken will still work and is the way I ...

Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe

homemade-vanilla-ice cream-recipe

I'm not a big sweets person. Give me a couple of pieces of bacon over a couple of pieces of chocolate any day. But, when I get the urge for some ice cream--and that happens more than I'd like to admit since Tucker's obsessed with the stuff--I always get vanilla. Always. Everyone always says vanilla is the ...
