Holy Crap These Are Amazing Cookies – No Bake

No, really.  That’s the name of these cookies – HolyCrapTheseAreAmazing Cookies.  Well, I think actually the original name was Peanut Butter Cornflake Cookies.  But truly, holy crap, they are amazing.  And easy!  You don’t even have to bake them! It might be kind of late to be making Christmas cookies.  Some of you have had […]

Roasted Spaghetti Squash

The other day, I came up with the (brilliant) idea to make mozzarella stuffed turkey meatballs. To go along with them, I decided to make spaghetti squash, because, you know, I try to be healthy and squash is healthier than pasta, even whole wheat pasta. I had never had spaghetti squash before, and I had […]

Homemade Granola Bars, The Sequel

I’ve been working at the granola bars again.  This time, I went an entirely different route.  The last three times I made them (until I got them right), I went the peanut butter, nut, chocolate route.  And they were crispy and crunchy.  And delicious.  But as good as those were, I was itching to try […]

Simply Roasted Asparagus

  Want to learn a new way to cook vegetables that’s really simple?  Tim and I both love a variety of veggies, but we get tired of always steaming them.  Oven roasting is a really easy way to prepare them, and it creates a whole new flavor! You can use this same method with broccoli, cauliflower, […]

Hail Mary Strawberries

Sometimes I amuse myself with food, and this is one of those times.  In honor of the big game today, I decided to get a little festive in the kitchen.  Aren’t they cute? These were pretty easy to make.  Just your basic chocolate covered strawberry to start with.  I like to use good quality semi-sweet […]
