I really never paid attention to seasons while I was growing up. Seasons were marked by the school year, but that was about the only change I noticed. Being in California, I was used to fresh and delicious produce year round. Our first winter in Illinois was a huge shock. And not for the reasons [...]

So, this recipe is cheating a bit. It doesn’t actually use any fresh apples. That is unless you make your own Apple Cider. I bought mine. This definitely is worth a mention anyway, especially on Apple Week! We had never heard of these bad boys before we moved to the Midwest. My husband likes to [...] If seeing that homemade salsa last week didn’t put you in the mood for spicy food, maybe this guacamole will! I learned how to make the best (at least, I think so!) homemade guacamole from my mama. Being a good California girl, I like to have avocados as often as possible (especially when they are [...] Hehe. I crack myself up. I made a sourdough starter this weekend. (Get my joke now? Sigh. I guess it isn’t a great joke if you have to explain it, huh?) I am really excited to try and make my own sourdough bread! And, of course, you need a sourdough starter to make sourdough. My [...] It really is fabulous having a birthday half-way through the calendar year. It always feels like Christmas in July when my birthday comes around! I’ve had some really wonderful birthday presents over the years: When I turned 16 my dad took me on my first date and gave me my purity ring (oh, and a [...] I hear that Zucchini plants tend to produce way more than anyone can actually have use for. My neighbor and a few friends decided to grow Zucchini this year, so we opted out since we figured we’d be getting some of their over abundance. We were right! Last week my neighbor gifted me with the [...] Another homerun for Cooking Light in the dessert arena. Love this Blackberry Cobbler! It tastes just like summer with a nice scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream. Especially if that ice cream happens to come from Oberweis. Oh Yum. Blackberry Cobbler Recipe
Oh, and word to the wise, don’t grind your [...] I have a confession to make. I never follow recipes. Ever. Which is probably why I’m not the best baker. But that, really, is beside the point. I just can’t help but add my own twist to everything I make in the kitchen. I like to say that recipes provide me with inspiration, then I [...] The sun came out yesterday. Oh, it was just gorgeous! We’ve had a bit of a dreary June, so today really felt like the first day of summer. We tried out the kiddy-pool for the first time. I think it’s safe to say we have a pool junkie on our hands.
Remember my overgrown parsley plant? Well, I decided to take Elizabeth’s advice and use up some of that yummy parsley on some fresh Tabbouleh. I think Tabbouleh is one of the most perfect and versatile foods for summer. It is served cold, so it is great to take out on a picnic, for a last [...] |
