…And another rainy day recipe…

28 Sep

It was another grey and dreary evening punctuated by exciting lightning, thunder, and hailstorms.  So I changed dinner plans and went with a comfort-food soup!  This soup is relatively easy to put together and makes your house smell wonderful!  It's also guaranteed to fill you up and keep you nice ...

Rainy Day Recipes

18 Sep

Today is an ugly day…it's dreary, windy, and it varies between a steady rain and an absolute downpour.  In other words, it's the perfect day for soup and homemade bread.  Now that we're back into the academic year I'm falling back in love with my slow cooker.  There's nothing better than coming home ...

What happened to round challah? Pt. 2

18 Sep

And the last few recipes: I HATED brussels sprouts as a child…someone referred to them as Little Green Balls of Death at a Thanksgiving dinner years ago and the name stuck.  At that moment I decided that I hated them and would never eat them ever again.  Fast forward 20 years…my mom tried to ...

What happened to round challah? Pt. 1

17 Sep

L'shana Tova! As most of you know, I've got a very exciting family history…I'm adopted and Japanese, my father is Jewish, and my mother is Christian.  As a child, my parents taught me about my heritage and exposed me to Japanese holidays (Girls Day, Tanabata, Obon, etc.) but I also celebrated ...

Baked French Toast Casserole

17 Sep

This is one of those recipes that you have to consciously choose to ignore the calories and just savor the deliciousness.  If you really think about what you're eating, you're in trouble.  I prefer making french toast as a baked casserole partially because I tend to burn at least half of the loaf ...

A baking frenzy…

12 Sep

A lovely birthday present from a student (thanks Teresa!) prompted me to revisit The Pioneer Woman's blog and I found this recipe for Pumpkin Spice Muffins with Cream Cheese Frosting!  I changed the recipe a little bit due to the fact that I was missing some of the ingredients but they turned out ...

…So, it’s definitely fall…

12 Sep

…and my husband has his first cold from germ-filled middle-schoolers.  So this morning I was off to Martin's to load up on medication, vitamin C, orange juice, and saltines.  And of course, all the ingredients to start a giant pot of homemade chicken soup!  It's always a little intimidating making ...

Balsamic and Brown Sugar Glazed Pork Tenderloin

11 Sep

So I've had a love/hate relationship with pork tenderloin in the slow-cooker.  The very first time I cooked it in the slow cooker it was amazing…the next time, it was a dry and powdery mess.  I've come to the conclusion that what it cooks in determines the outcome…and this recipe is a definite ...
