Good Eats!

Blueberry Coffee Cake

August 5, 2011

Monday through Friday we eat really boring breakfasts.  Good for you breakfasts.  But boring.  Really boring.  So come the weekends, we splurge.  Jeff whips up a batch of his famous pancakes one morning.  And I usually make muffins or some egg concoction the other day.  Every so often, though, I treat the family to this [...]

Mom’s Potato Salad

July 2, 2011

Potato salad gets a bad rap these days, doesn’t it?  Likely because of that mushy slop grocery store delis try to pass off as the real thing.  The real thing, though, is neither mushy or sloppy.  It’s tangy and flavorful–the perfect addition to any Fourth of July backyard barbecue or picnic. I learned to make [...]

Blueberry Nectarine Cobbler

June 25, 2011

As far as fruits go, I’m a summer kind of gal myself.  Winter’s boring oranges and bitter grapefruits are no match for summer’s sweet bounty.  And really, straight from the fields, they’re perfect.  Yet we always find ways to plus them, don’t we?  We shortcake or buckle or creamify them.  My favorite, though?  When we [...]

Tacos Our Way

February 22, 2011

Ours is a household in which Mexican food is served at least once each week.  Usually more.  Among our favorite dishes: enchiladas, burritos, chicken tortilla soup, enchilada casserole, and tacos.  Honestly, in my book, tacos reign supreme. What’s that you say?  Tacos are boring.  ¡NO! Tu es loco en la cabeza. Our tacos are anything [...]

Taco-fied Turkey Burgers

June 14, 2010

A couple of weeks ago, during our weekly trip to Whole Foods, Jeff spotted a taco’d up version of a hamburger on the cover of a foodie magazine.  In typical carnivorous fashion, he proceeded to drool over it before he remembered that, currently, ours isn’t so much a red-meat eating household.  {Read: I’m not a [...]

Grilled Sweet Potato Wedges

June 2, 2010

If we’re not Facebook friends (why not, by the way?) you might have missed my post this weekend about our menu.  Your loss.  Because what a menu it was!  It included these: I know.  Totally drool worthy right? I can’t claim them.  They were foodnetwork.com finds.  And though I can’t claim them as my own, [...]
