Congratulations to Hayley! I’ll get your book to you. Merry Christmas!
So my friend Tilly and I have a cooking show. Stop laughing. Please. Yes, I know. That’s why I haven’t said anything about it on this blog.
Then the 200th post thing came up and I thought, Now would be a good time to post something about [...]

Stewed Rhubarb Over Yogurt

Posted on 19. Aug, 2011 by Kate.

 
 
 
A friend gave me some more rhubarb (thanks Kate!) so I thought I’d try out a new recipe. This is so simple and quick to throw together. I made it while our pizza cooked–yeah, it’s fast. The  sweet tartness is really yummy on a hot summer evening. So you’ll need about 7 stalks of rhubarb [...]

Banana Pancakes

Posted on 05. Oct, 2010 by Kate.

I’m always searching for a way to make pancakes more nutritious especially since my family is less than enthusiastic about whole wheat flour in their pancakes. (Warning: Do not try using even half whole wheat flour in this recipe. It causes the batter to take on a pudding-like consistency and makes it impossible to turn [...]

A New Cookbook

Posted on 27. Aug, 2010 by Kate.

Early this summer I decided to buy a new cookbook. I (and my family) were a little tired of the same old same old. After reading reviews and even testing some recipes from other books (listed on the author’s website), I purchased this one.
I have not been disappointed. While I am far from having cooked [...]

Grilled Lime Chicken

Posted on 14. Aug, 2010 by Kate.

I’ve been experimenting with quite a few new recipes this summer so I thought I’d share one my family has been requesting again. In fact, we’re having it for dinner tonight. Let’s get started.
You’ll need 4 bonleless, skinless chicken breasts. When I photographed this recipe, I used frozen because that’s what I had. Today I [...]

Moroni’s BBQ Turkey (but I used chicken)

Posted on 17. May, 2010 by Kate.

Moroni Feed Company is famous for its BBQ Turkey recipe for good reasons. This is one of the best ways to eat turkey. It’s even delicious served cold. Killer Beans are the perfect complement to this main dish. The store was out of turkey the Saturday night before our Spring break so I bought chicken [...]

Killer Beans

Posted on 19. Apr, 2010 by Kate.

My husband’s aunt and uncle used to own a picture framing shop. Nate and I stopped in one day–I don’t recall why–and ended up having Christian (Nate’s cousin) recount his family’s famous Killer Bean recipe to us while he measured and readied a large frame. At that organized point in my life, I opened up [...]

Dump Cake

Posted on 06. Apr, 2010 by Kate.

Let’s make a birthday cake without an oven. My sister-in-law, Heidi, brought this recipe back from a Colorado ranch she worked on in the summers. This is so easy to do in your dutch oven. Plus, you can bake it in a 9 x 13 pan at 350° and get great results as well. Let’s [...]

Poor Man’s Steak

Posted on 18. Mar, 2010 by Kate.

Here’s an inexpensive steak dish that my family enjoys. I’m quite picky about the ground beef recipes I like to eat, and I especially detest little bits of ground beef disguised in casseroles. I make vegetarian lasagna and spaghetti for that reason. (If I want some protein with my spaghetti, I’ll prepare chicken cacciatore instead [...]

Stir Crazy Cake

Posted on 28. Feb, 2010 by Kate.

This recipe  comes from a cookbook compiled for the Sonberg family reunion held in 1999. I love recipes from these kinds of cookbooks for a few reasons. One being that people typically send their best and favorite recipes. Secondly, the stories behind them. The note with this recipe reads: “This is kinda interestin’ to fix, [...]
