A New Cookbook
Posted on27. 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 on14. 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 on17. 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 on19. 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 [...]

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 on18. 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 on28. 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, [...]

Apple-Cinnamon Popcorn Crunch
Posted on23. Dec, 2009 by Kate.
I thought these bowls would be perfect for giving caramel popcorn to my children’s friends and teachers. Then I discovered I was out of corn syrup–and the desire to go out once more into the snow storm. So I did a google search for popcorn recipes and found this on cdkitchen.com. I even had all [...]

All Night Christmas Party 2009
Posted on14. Dec, 2009 by Kate.
This tradition began eleven years ago when our two young children would not settle down to go to sleep one Friday night after our ward Christmas Party. My husband and I decided not to fight it and made it a night where we played whatever games the children wanted. We all put our pajamas on [...]

Hasty Pudding
Posted on04. Dec, 2009 by Kate.
This recipe comes from my Grandma Hoth. It’s very English as was she. (My parents have a small three-ring binder of her handwritten recipes–at least my Dad’s favorites. Things like this are family treasures!) This steaming dessert is perfect for a cold day and so simple to make.
Let’s get started.
Mix together to make a paste:

Mashed Potato Casserole
Posted on25. Nov, 2009 by Kate.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL!
Just in case you have any leftover mashed potatoes this week.
I love the flavor the onions bring to this casserole. Yumm! So let’s get started. Scrub, peel, and chop 6 potatoes and place in boiling water. When tender, drain. You can see I didn’t peel my potatoes. It isn’t [...]

I am the mother of five learning to live in the country surrounded by in-laws. I've been married to the amazing Nate Palmer for 15 years; he is teaching me how to be a farm girl in between chasing children, cooking dinner, and doing laundry. In my spare time (okay--time I try really hard to set aside), I like to write.
