Mama’s Soup Clears The Head.

My stuffy headed kids think I’m a great mother for making this cold weather soup for them, but between you and me, it’s relatively simple to make. Chicken breast, celery, onion, carrots and homemade dumplings in chicken broth will clear the sinuses and warm the heart all at once. Try my recipe…

Can you say “yummy”?

For those of you who make requests, thanks for the patience, knowing that eventually, I will cook your dish.  So this one’s for  Zhonda who asked me to post a tiramisu recipe.  I tried to make it easy, but the neighborhood grocery store didn’t have ladyfingers on hand, so I made them from scratch.  I could have gone to Trader Joe’s to pick up the ladyfingers, but didn’t want to fight rush hour traffic.  I know I’m silly.  It probably would’ve taken the same amount of time either way, but at least I wasn’t inching in traffic getting irritated.  Moral of the story: if you want to cut down on your cooking time & mess, just go pick up the ladyfingers at the store, and it will be an amazingly easy gourmet treat.  Read on for my recipe…

Sweet Warmth of October.

I found this food blog called Columbus Foodie and immediately decided to make her apple strudel recipe. Because she uses pre-packaged puff pastry sheets in her recipe, I thought this would be really easy. I prepared the apple mixture and zipped over to the grocery store to pick up some pre-packaged puff pastry sheets, and guess what? They were out! I thought to myself that it’s a good thing I like to cook & made my own dough. It was delicious, but would’ve been great the way Columbus Foodie made it too, so go check out her recipe here: http://www.columbusfoodie.com/2008/10/03/in-the-bag-apple-strudel/.
