What a busy weekend around here this weekend. Yesterday was spent in town with my family at the Children and the Arts day. It is kind of near and dear to my heart as this is its 31st year and my kids use to participate and I volunteered for years, most schools and day care centers in the area create something for the kids to … Continue reading Louisiana Crunch Cake
Firstly Happy Mother’s Day! I just got back from watching my Granddaughter run in her first Healthy Kids Running race. OK how stinking cute so many littles running to get to the finish line. She came in fourth, not sure how many 3 year olds there were but it was more than I could have handled. Looking forward to next week. OK these have popped … Continue reading Blanket Dumplings
I had some gnocchi in the pantry for sometime now so I thought about making something with it. I generally make a gnocchi soup, sometimes I pan fry them but I wanted something a little different and I do love making sheet pan meals, a little prep and into the oven. They are easy, quick and quite tasty plus clean up is very easy. … Continue reading Sheet Pan Gnocchi
I have had a written down on a scrap piece of paper for over a month now on making a Dutch Baby. Today was the day it finally happened, and it was worth the wait. My husband asked for something completely different, but I had waited long enough, fairly certain if I didn’t make it I would have probably lost the scrap piece of paper; … Continue reading Dutch Baby
I was going to make split pea soup with the ham bone from Easter. The only obstacle with this is only 3 of the 7 people that I would serve it to actually like it. Some of us would eat it but it’s not our first or even second choice. I would have had to pick up the split peas and I have tried to … Continue reading Red Lentil Soup
I either never heard or of or maybe I had and I had forgotten this but I came across a reel where she was making a quiche and I don’t usually make quiche because I don’t want to make a crust. Yes I know you can make a crustless quiche but I tend to make a frittata and call it a day! Any way I … Continue reading Julia Child never fail Quiche
Happy Easter! Kind of a dreary day around here in NH and looks nothing like this lovely picture of tulips that I wish I knew how to grow! I just hid a bunch of eggs around the house for my 3 year old granddaughter and I can’t wait for her to arrive and run around the house looking for them. While I was hiding them, … Continue reading Happy Easter – have a lovely day!
I know it is Spring around here but the cold weather suggests otherwise so a nice and comforting Pot Roast was on the menu last week and could be this weekend as well. I think it was a high of 30 yesterday and while the sun in shining and lovely looking out it says it is 40, but it’s a cold and windy 40 degrees. … Continue reading Oven Pot Roast
Here I was spending too much time on my phone and no prospects for dinner last night. Scrolling along and I came across this pasta recipe where I stopped scrolling for a minute to watch it. Paused it and went through the cupboards and fridge in my mind “do I have everything to make this?” well not exactly but I can make it work. Work … Continue reading Penne Strascicate
Let me start by saying I am kind of particular when it comes to eggs. Meaning if I am going to make and eat an egg I first want it poached second would be fried and that is basically it. I have never made or had a scrambled egg that was calorie worthy. My husband makes the best omelets so I also eat those on … Continue reading Poached Egg on Hash Brown Toast
