It’s been a little quiet around here hasn’t it? You will see why soon enough, but in the meantime here are some muffins that sure had the kitchen smelling like fall while they baked. I will admit that I only tasted a crumb because I am saving them for something else, but I will make…

No September Daring Bakers
Good day all, Time ran away from this month so I did not have the opportunity to make the Daring Bakers Challenge for this month which was Vols-au-Vent. I was looking forward to making my own puff pastry, and I will definitely try it in the future. Thank you to Steph of A Whisk and…
SMS: Caramelized Onion, Sage & Cheddar Muffins
Today’s Sweet Melissa Sunday hostess was Hanaa of Hanaa’s Kitchen. She chose this version of Melissa Murphy’s savory muffins. I made them on the same evening as I made the Zuppa Toscana. My muffins came out a little spicy, and I’m not sure if I added 1/2 tsp. of cayenne pepper instead of the stated…
Zuppa Toscana
Seeing this from Joelen’s Culinary Adventures reminded me how much I liked going to Olive Garden for lunch so I did just that. I also decided to make some Zuppa Toscana for dinner one night. The recipe was in the America’s Most Wanted Recipes cookbook that I first spoke of here. I substituted half-and-half for…
Savory Okra-Tomato Bread Pudding
I promise that this is the last post that I have with no photo (knock on wood). I have received my new camera battery, but I made this on Monday, and it is almost gone. I saw the recipe for Marian’s Savory Vegetable Bread Pudding in the September 2009 issue of Southern Living. It came…
Crock Pot 40 Clove Garlic Chicken
There are numerous 40 Clove Garlic Chicken recipes out there, and I decided to go with one adapted for the slow cooker. If you like garlic, you will love the recipe. I really did use 40 cloves of garlic (give or take a few) which turned about to be about 3 bulbs. There is paprika…
No Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Balls
I saw this recipe on Friday evening, and I was started preparing it about a hour later. I needed something to satisfy my sweet tooth! This was perfect since it did not require me to turn on the oven or stove. The ingredients were all items that I keep in my house on a regular…
SMS: Orange Scented Scones
Scones have been on my list of things to bake since I started a blog, so I was pleased to see that Robin of Lady Craddock’s Bakery chose Orange Scented Scones for this week’s Sweet Melissa Sundays recipe. Many of the other bakers stated that the scones needed more orange flavor so I used the…
Stuffed Turkey Burgers
I was watching Down Home with the Neelys last weekend and saw them cooking up these Stuffed Turkey Burgers, and I immediately started making a grocery list. They looked so good, and I found out they tasted good too! I used our George Foreman grill and they cooked up nice and quick. The one thing…
Daring Cooks: Indian Dosas
September’s Daring Cooks Challenge was hosted by Debyi of Healthy Vegan Kitchen (check out her website for the recipe). So I’m sure you can guess that this recipe was vegan. I have never cooked a vegan meal before, so it was a different experience for me, but an easy recipe. The recipe came in 3…
