Crispy Roasted Potatoes

May 27, 2011

I’ve wanted to make this Crispy Roasted Potato recipe ever since I first set eyes on it at Teri Lynn Fisher’s Fish Food blog. I think it was that beautiful photo more than anything, although we do like potatoes around here. BeeBop, being the meat and potatoes guy that he is, declared it a huge [...]

Toffee Bars (a.k.a. Redneck Toffee)

January 11, 2010

If your New Year’s resolution had anything to do with dieting or healthy eating, please be warned. This post is not going to help you keep that one. Just go on somewhere else and forget you ever came here. Seriously. Turn away now! Still here? Good…me, too. This is a recipe that I first saw at [...]

Texas Sheet Cake

October 23, 2009

Texas, ya’ll! Cattle…Cowboys…Cheerleaders…Sheet cake! Sheet cake? That’s right, sheet cake! This is one of those oldie-but-goodie recipes. You know, the ones that everyone loves and no one knows the origin of? (And, yes, I do realize that I just ended that sentence in a preposition. Thank you.) This one was adapted from the recipe in Southern [...]

Make Your Own…Butter!

April 2, 2009

Okay. I know there’s a less than zero chance that anyone who reads this blog is ever going to make their own butter. I also already know that you think I’m totally crazy for doing it, too, so please don’t feel that you have to comment on that :-) Thank you very much. It was just [...]

Easy French Toast

March 20, 2009

Over the years I’ve tried all kinds of french toast recipes. Ones that required the mixture to sit overnight. Ones that were stuffed with cream cheese and fruit. Ones that were baked. But I always come back to this one. It’s just so comforting. It’s not too sweet and not too eggy. It’s just plain [...]

[BB] Sauteed Broccolini by the Barefoot Contessa

March 19, 2009

Bonus time! The sauteed broccolini is a bonus Barefoot Blogger recipe for the month of March and it was chosen by Mary of Meet Me in the Kitchen. I actually made this to serve with the Chicken Piccata a few days ago. BeeBop and I were both kinda on the fence about it. I’ve cooked [...]

Never Fail Pound Cake with Warm Berry Compote

March 15, 2009

I’ve used this pound cake recipe for as long as I can remember. The original recipe came from a First Baptist Church cookbook. With all due respect to the ladies of the First Baptist Church, I made changes to the original. And to tell the truth I think this recipe makes the best pound cake I’ve ever had. [...]

Herbed Baked Eggs

February 15, 2009

This recipe from Ina Garten is one that BeeBop and I enjoy frequently. It’s a great brunch dish for a lazy Saturday morning or good for breakfast anytime with some sausage and toasted sourdough bread (or rye would be good, too). I think it would also be good for a spring time supper with sauteed spinach on [...]
