My mom’s Shepherd’s Pie is one of my favorite recipes from childhood. Every now and then she makes a few small pies and gives me one to heat up on a busy weeknight. I am always thrilled ...
These little candies don’t look like much but trust me they are something special. The butterscotch chips mixed into the semi-sweet chocolate smells amazing and leave people wondering what sec...
Am I too late to post about apple pie? Are apples too fallish to celebrate at the end of December? All who know me know of my unending love affair with pie of all types. I can’t pick a favor...
This wonderful rice casserole is one of my mother-in-law’s holiday side dishes but it is delicious and comforting with any meal. It bakes in the oven leaving you time to worry about your other...
It’s party season! Although between birthdays, showers, potlucks, football, barbecues, when is it not party season? Dips are my favorite party food. They are a chance to indulge without the ...
Are you still eating Thanksgiving leftovers? For me, Thanksgiving lasts for days. Between dinner on turkey day, pie breakfasts all through the weekend, and Thanksgiving redone in the office microwa...
I can’t believe how quickly the weeks go by. Can you remember when we were kids and a summer was a lifetime? I can’t believe that Thanksgiving is already over and we only have five week...
So this spring, chaos in the kitchen will be four years old! And after three official Thanksgiving dinners I have never posted a recipe for mashed potatoes. Wonder why? I suck at mashed potatoes. ...
Absolutely NO secret recipes. Sharing recipes is so much more than just passing on words on paper. When you share a recipe with someone you are wishing the best for them. You carefully consider th...
It’s here!! The first order of business: Brownie Bake Off. I have never used a convection oven before but with the Symmetry Double Ovens on my new range I have the option of both convection a...
Do you fantasize about other peoples’ kitchens? I do. I read my favorite blogs and I imagine what spacious, beautiful, high-tech kitchens they must have to be so inspired. And then I look ar...
There is a small cafe on the college campus near work that I love. They have a large assortment of salads, and the food is always fresh and house-made. This artichoke salad is one of the dishes the...
I don’t usually use prepared ingredients in a recipe. I like to make things from scratch as much as possible-to both control the quality of the ingredients as well as the cost. However someti...
I am not sure why I never considered making Greek Nachos before. It is a fun spin on gyros and a perfect light meal for summer. You can make this with any meat or completely meat-less and add as mu...
If I was a better blogger I would have a bunch of delicious summery meals stored up to post for you while we wind down the dog days. I’m not and I don’t-so you are getting this wonderful...
Tired of vegetables yet? Me neither. This really should be titled: Vegetable Sandwich, but that sounded a little lame. I thought Roasted Vegetable Slider sounded good, but I didn’t actually ...
I think my favorite seasons are Fall and Grilling. Luckily in Texas grilling season lasts for most of spring, summer, and fall. Jelly? You should be. This is a great marinade for grilled vegetable...
One of the best aspects of our newly food-centric world is that we have so many categories of burgers. We enjoy chipotle turkey burgers and Thai shrimp burgers and any kind of burger you can imagine...
I love summer food. Abundant fruit and garden fresh vegetables, light meals, and no cook recipes-this is the way I wish we ate all year! As a its-so-hot-the-thought-of-eati ng-makes-me-feel-sick mea...
Have I ever told you how much I love vegetables? I do, you know. I LOVE them. I don’t know how it happened. There were few meatless meals (macaroni and cheese! grilled cheese!) in my childh...
I never really appreciated how difficult it is to be creative after a nine-hour work day. After spending nine hours running, standing, escorting, greeting, consoling, apologizing, cajoling and gener...
I remember reading an article once where Mark Bittman said that steel-cut oats are an “Aha!” moment. As in: Aha! This is was oatmeal is supposed to taste like! I would have to say that ...
We used to have a potluck nearly every weekend at work. Because if you had to be stuck at work on the weekend, at least you could spend twelve hours eating and laughing. This broccoli salad is a gr...
Laundry soap is one of those things that drives me crazy. Like paper towels and plastic baggies. It is completely disposable yet we spend huge amounts of money on it. In addition the primary ingre...
Indian food amazes me. There are a few cultures in the world that can take bland, cheap ingredients and turn them into rich, hearty dishes bursting with flavor and spice. I have never had much use ...
I made this dish back in the fall when Elise from Simply Recipes made it. It sounded like the perfect comfort food and at the time it was. But since then, life has changed. Not that the original r...
Considering my last post, this probably isn’t the first thing thing you would expect me to post. In fact, I made this during Ramadan and am only now finding the words to post it here. This is...
It is hard to find the words to re-introduce myself. My life has changed in so many ways and I with it. I have started working full time-as in Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm. I love my job and it was...
Thanksgiving Recipes We are still sorting through some serious issues here in the chaos house, so thanks for bearing with me. Here is a quick round-up of all of the festive, holiday recipes on the s...
