White Bean & Sausage Ragout with Tomatoes, Kale, and Zucchini
I love Cooking Light magazine. I haven’t cooked anything out of it since I bought a subscription though, but have tagged many (lol)! I did buy Cooking Light’s Cooking Through the Seasons when Borders bookstores were going out of business. It was a great time to stock up on cookbooks! I made this a breezy afternoon…
Sun Dried Tomato Hummus
I love hummus and finally found a hummus recipe that I love, but when I saw this one with sun dried tomatoes, I knew I had to try it. I love sun dried tomatoes! I bought the ingredients last fall, but didn’t have the energy to make it. You know I was baking up this guy…
Sour Cream Chicken & Noodles
I had some sour cream in the fridge that I needed to use up so I went searching for recipes. I found this one from Whole Foods. It was lacking in some flavor but was filling. I left out the mushrooms because Mr. G doesn’t like them and decided to use wheat egg noodles. If…
Cranberry Feta Pinwheels
I almost forgot to post these! This is one of the appetizers I served before Christmas Eve dinner. They were a great option because I could make them the day before and they had red and green in them (but are good for anytime of the year). Our visitors really enjoyed them and we did…
Mexican Hot Chocolate Roasted Pecans
This is the last of the edible gifts I made during the holidays. I had these as takeaways after the Christmas Eve dinner we hosted at my house. I made two batches after thinking the first didn’t have the kick of spice that I wanted it to. After adding 3 pinches of cayenne to the second…
Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Balsamic Pork Loin
Meals prepared in the slow cooker have been my friend these past few months; throw it in there and let it cook. This works out great for me as I’m trying to handle dirty diapers, feedings, and all the other tasks on hand. This recipe was a delicious one (found on Pinterest of course). I…
Bailey’s Irish Cream Fudge
This is another great find from Pinterest. I have never made fudge before, so I was hoping this would turn out good. From the reviews it did! It was rich and creamy and definitely had a coffee flavor to it. Feel free to follow me on Pinterest to see what else I am pinning here….
Pinwheel Cookies
Happy New Year! I hope you and yours had a great safe start to 2012. I am still blogging about items that I made as gifts for Christmas so bear with me for a few more posts. This is another recipe that I found on Pinterest. The cookies were light and not too sweet. Definitely…
