Yesterday our shipment of bakeware from The Pampered Chef arrived. To say that Jay and I were excited would be an understatement. We squealed and giggled as we gently pulled out a rectangle stoneware baking sheet, muffin pan, stoneware loaf pan, and spring form cake pan. About ten years ago I purchased a square stoneware [...]

Granola Cereal
October 19, 2011
The other day I accidentally made granola cereal. That’s right, it was an accident. I was trying to make granola bars from a recipe but the words “home” and “made” make me think that I can do whatever the hell I want to a recipe. I’ve had many failed experiments because I didn’t follow a [...]
Pancakes
November 2, 2009
I think I’ll make it a tradition to make pancakes for Sunday morning’s breakfast. It’s easy enough to reach for the box mix but I feel more accomplished if I make the pancake batter from scratch. Besides, this way I can add as much sugar and vanilla as I want. The pancake recipe I used [...]
A cure for hangover
October 5, 2009
It’s Saturday morning, I crack open my crusted eyes and push back the wave of nausea followed by the pulsating beat of a headache. This is what happens when you stay up all night getting loaded and playing Street Fighter IV and Trash Panic on the PS3. When I finally drag myself to the living [...]
Nutty French Toast
September 29, 2009
Was feeling ravenous this morning. Eggs and bread usually take care of the morning hunger but I always have sunny side up with two slices of toast. This morning, I made French toast for maybe the second time in my life. 2 eggs 1/4 tsp almond extract Cinnamon Walnuts 2 slices of Jay’s homemade bread [...]
Green Chile and Corn Frittata
September 2, 2009
On Sunday, I “borrowed” (see also: appropriate for an undisclosed length) a Weight Watchers cookbook from my mother. I love that it has tons of pictures and the recipes are very easy to follow. As I’ve mentioned before, diet food isn’t necessarily bland or tasteless. I give today’s lunch of Green Chile and Corn Fritatta [...]
Yogurt Smoothies
August 20, 2009
I need to blog about my new-found love of yogurt smoothies! I have never been a big fan of plain yogurt, unless it’s strained and made into a dip. To me, plain yogurt is like eating sour milk. However, I do love eating sweetened vanilla yogurt and fruit blend yogurt. I’m not sure why I [...]
Breakfast and Dinner
August 10, 2009
It used to be that most Saturday mornings I would wake up and fry two eggs and several strips of bacon. That tradition went on a little break when I began to eat only egg whites and no bacon. For the past month, however, I have not been dieting and so I decided to make [...]
Frank’s Redhot, I love you
June 17, 2009
I just finished eating breakfast. It was my usual egg whites and pineapple. Surprisingly, I’m not tired of eating plain egg whites and I was really afraid I would be when I started this diet. Anywho, I would just like to say that Frank’s Redhot Original sauce goes amazingly well with scrambled egg whites! This [...]
