Squash Casserole

Squash was on sale a week ago (well it’s usually on sale throughout the summer), so I decided to make a squash casserole since I haven’t had one in awhile. I have been using this recipe for about 7 years. It is quick and simple and would be great to take a summer get together….

Cheesy Italian Meatballs

I can’t remember the last time that I made homemade meatballs. I was trying to think of what I could make for dinner this past Sunday and had almost all of the ingredients for this recipe. It was quick too, as I try not to spend as much time in the kitchen since it is…

SMS: Gingersnaps

The post is late, but I was just too lazy yesterday to post it (sorry fellow SMSers!). This week’s SMS was hosted by Gloria of The Ginger Snap Girl. What did she choose? Gingersnaps of course!We were supposed to use these cookies to make a pie crust for an earlier post, but I opted out…

Sugar Coma-Freeze!

If you haven’t read about my first Sugar Coma tour, where have you been? I won’t get too upset with you, only if you go back to read about it. My sister and I decided to embark on our second tour hosted by The Broke Socialite because it was focused on frozen treats. It has…

Cherry Brown Butter Muffins

This is the other group of muffins that I took with me to my departmental staff meeting. I had never baked with brown butter before, but have been wanting to try because I see it used so much. I can’t say that I noticed a difference in taste, but I will definitely try it again….

Pasta with Chicken & Asparagus in Alfredo Sauce

It has been so hot. I have been searching for dishes that are light and don’t require too much time in the kitchen. I saw this in this month’s issue of Essence magazine, and immediately “dog-eared” the page. The original recipe calls for basil but my basil has taken a turn for the worse: the…

Sugar Coma!

The posts have been a little slow this week due to a busy schedule, but I had to put this one together to share the neat experience I had on last Saturday: Sugar Coma! Sugar Coma is an event put on by the The Broke Socialite that consists of tours of bakeries, cupcakeries, and other…

Fish Tacos

This is my 300th post! Woo hoo! And I have a recipe you are going to want to make today. Today I tell you! It has been so hot lately. I’m talking July/August and it’s only June. So hot, my poor basil has dried up (I’m so sad because I had hopes for it this…

Pork Chops with Lemon and Capers

This entree has numerous ingredients, but the end result tastes so good. I was searching around for recipes that I could use some excess lemons with and stumbled across this one on my Whole Foods iPhone app. I made some big adjustments so I wouldn’t need to go to the grocery store. I served the…
