I love pepperoni! After picking up a pound of it while visiting our favorite meat house Patak, I decided to make something a little different than pizza, so I decided on a pizza roll. It was quick and easy to make, which is always nice. I didn’t think I would have much pepperoni to place…

Lemon Pepper Shrimp
During my wedding planning process, I met other brides, many of whom were also getting married in March 2009 (one shared a dish here). We still keep up with each other and have set up a “Secret Nestie” gift exchange. The first item I received in the mail from my Secret Nestie was a recipe…
Backsplash Continued…
As I mentioned in this post, we decided to extend the backsplash to cover the entire wall behind the oven. Well here it is. Now, it’s time for grout! Mr. G hard at work.
Chex Mix Part II
Since I had enough ingredients to make another batch of Chex Mix , I did. This time, I added a little kick to it! Hot peppers from my mom and aunt’s garden! I seeded them and chopped them up in my chopper. I placed them in the bowl with the butter, garlic, etc. to microwave….

Ham and Cheese Bake
After all of the labor in the kitchen, we needed something hearty to eat. I found this on The Cooking Nurse blog and stashed it away in my Google Reader. It seemed easy and quick enough so I made it a weeknight meal. The changes I made from the original recipe were I used angel…
Backsplash: Almost Completed!
Someone wanted me to post this because someone wants to show it off…here is our new backsplash. The tiles that look blue are actually dark gray; the other colors are ivory, brown, and sage which picks up the remaining colors in the kitchen from the cabinets to the countertops to the walls. We placed it…
Panko Crusted Tilapia
I had not baked tilapia in a long time so I thought it would be a good time to do so since I just bought some Panko breadcrumbs. I’ve read a lot about Panko breadcrumbs on a cooking message board that I frequent and wanted to try them out. I served the fish with wild…
Whole Wheat Buttermilk Biscuits
I made biscuits from scratch and am quite proud of myself. I bought some whole wheat flour in hopes of making healthier meals, so I thought it was a good time to break it out. The recipe I adapted the one below from used 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of whole wheat…
Buttermilk Pie
My mother-in-law told me she was looking for Paula Deen’s buttermilk pie recipe so I told her I would look for it. Low and behold, it was in a book that I already had! This was timely as well because I think the buttermilk in my refrigerator is expanding (used here and here). I can’t…
