My definition of a snack is a finger food that you can eaten while on the go. With that being said, I love snacks! I keep them in my desk at work to keep me out of the snack machine. Since it is summer time and traveling is about to commence, I decided to have…

Baked Potato Soup
This is the last freezer meal recipe that I made for my dear friend. Unfortunately, I left it in my freezer. I told her it would be here for her when she returns home. I used these containers after reading good things about them. You can bake the potatoes ahead of time, which is what…
Tex-Mex Stuffed Shells
Someone I care for very much is about to undergo cancer treatment for the fourth (or maybe it’s fifth?) time. I was so heart broken when I heard about it. This time it is a more rare form and has moved to a different part of her body. To try and help her and her…
Peanut Butter Cup Chocolate Chip Cookies
Whew! That’s a long title, but it describes these cookies to a “T”. I had some miniature peanut butter cups in the freezer and decided to finally use them. I didn’t have the full 12 ounce bag so I supplemented with chocolate chips and that’s where the peanut butter cup chocolate chip cookies come in….
101 in 1001 Update: May 2010
Just in case you haven’t been keeping up, I have been plugging away at my 101 in 1001 list. Here are some highlights: I have been cooking up a storm lately. One thing off of my list that I completed was making a homemade pie crust. I have finished New Moon and Eclipse in the…
Balsamic-Glazed Salmon
I am still using the balsamic vinegar I bought here every chance I get. We had not had fish in some time, so I decided to pick up some salmon fillets for Sunday dinner a couple of weekends ago. This entree was quick and easy to prepare so it could easily be completed during the…
Fresh Strawberry Sorbet
I am loving strawberry season. I blogged about how strawberries should be bought organic because they are one of The Dirty Dozen. I had some extra strawberries and decided to make some sorbet. I have never made sorbet before, but I enjoy eating it. The recipe is simple enough and didn’t take long because the…
Best Ever Egg Salad Sandwiches?
I’m still making my way through my Bon Appetit Cookbook and this is the 3rd recipe I have made since setting a goal for 20 in my 101 in 1001 list. I was a little skeptical with this being labeled as the “best ever” egg salad sandwich. I mean everything tastes better with bacon, but…
SMS: Butterscotch Pralines
Sorry I’m late! Yesterday was the finale of one of my favorite television shows of all time: LOST. It started at 7pm and lasted until 11:30, then Jimmy Kimmel had a special at 12:35 so you can imagine how sleepy I was during work today (even though I did get in a 3 hour nap…
Insalata Caprese
I am growing some basil in a container on my deck and thus far, it is the best herb I’ve got going for me (I’ll be giving you an herb garden update soon). The leaves are coming in very well and I have been good with trimming the plant and using the leaves in dishes…
