Of Buckets and Bridges
In the interest of trying to write more often, I’ve decided to try out Word Press’s “Daily Prompt.” Today’s prompt is “What’s the 11th item on your bucket list?” I was tempted to skip this because I don’t really have an official bucket list. (Was that even a thing before that movie came out?) As …
Strawberry Shortcake, or Not
I think I first saw this idea on Pinterest. Cake mix in the waffle iron. Genius! And so many possibilities. I decided to make strawberry shortcake, with yellow cake, strawberry pie filling, and Cool Whip. Simply make the cake mix as directed on the package and cook in the waffle iron. I didn’t pay attention to …
Pork Loin Roast
This recipe is not new, but a family favorite. I got it from my mom several years ago, but I do not know the original source. It is ridiculously easy for how delicious it is. All you need: 1/2 cup chopped onion 3 T butter 6 cloves garlic, chopped 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper …
Opening Day at Home
Today was Opening Day for the Cincinnati Reds, and although we were fortunate to be at the ballpark last year, this year we spent it at home. We still celebrated though. We had a small family gathering and the kids did their best to make it feel like we were really at the ballpark. We …
Mmm…Soft Pretzels
I love soft pretzels. Love them. L-o-v-e them. Want me to say it backward? Them love I. When we go to a baseball game, I like to get a soft pretzel and a big Coke. (Only 37 days til Opening Day!!) I like when restaurants have pretzel bites for appetizers, and I like sandwiches on …
Pepperoni Pizza Puffs
Tonight for dinner we had Pepperoni Pizza Puffs. This recipe I found on Pinterest. Click here for the link to the recipe I used. I wasn’t sure at first that I could find my mini muffin pan; a few years ago, I had to move my cake pans to tubs in the basement because they …
Braised Balsamic Chicken and Potato Croquettes–January Recipes #3&4
I have this cool little app on my phone from allrecipes.com. It’s called Dinner Spinner. You can search for recipes, or as the name suggests, give your phone a shake and see what comes up. There are three different rows–type of meal, ingredient, and prep/cooking time. The pictures spin like a slot machine and when …
Where’s the Beef? January Recipe #1
I mentioned to my kids that I was thinking of having tacos for dinner this week and my son asked me why we never make them homemade. Usually we buy the taco shell/seasoning-mix kits. I hadn’t yet mentioned that I was already thinking of making my own seasoning mix, but then he elaborated, “You know, …
Mmmm, Pizza
Even though I want to cook more, tonight’s dinner was one of my Christmas presents. My husband ordered some deep dish pizza. From Chicago. We took a family trip to Chicago at the end of the summer and Lou Malnati’s deep dish pizza was definitely one of the highlights. It was sooooo good. Their sauce …
Batter Up!
Batter Up! is the name of my imaginary future bakery. I even have a logo for it; if I can figure out how to post it, I will, as soon as I get it out of my head and on paper. When I was trying to think of a name (you think about things like …
