For whatever reason I have been on a soup kick lately. I think it is the fact that it is getting cooler out now and I am looking for something warm and filling. This soup is exactly that. It took about 90 minutes to make including all the chopping. If you have that much time [...]

Banana Bran Muffins
I’m not sure what possessed me to make these Banana Bran Muffins. I really like banana bread, and I already had buttermilk in the refrigerator, but in the end I think it’s just that I’m nuts for baking.
For being a healthy recipe, these muffins are quite tasty. They baked up big and moist, not dry [...]
Cornbread
Along with the brisket that we had for dinner, we also had cornbread. Cornbread is one of those foods that takes no time at all to make. I actually think it took me longer to find a recipe I wanted to use than it did to mix up the ingredients.
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons baking [...]
Texas Tortilla Soup
I picked up this recipe for tortilla soup last month while visiting family and have been waiting to try it on my own. I have a slow cooker tortilla soup recipe that I really like, but it was time for something different.
This recipe includes crushed tortilla chips on the bottom of the bowl and more crushed chips [...]

Four Cheese Baked Penne
What’s not to love in this Four Cheese Baked Penne from Ellie Krieger? Mozzarella, ricotta, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, tomatoes, onion, garlic…the list goes on and on.
It takes some prep work to get this dish ready to bake, which made it a fun Saturday evening project. However, this recipe would be doable on a weeknight [...]
Almond-Crusted Chicken Fingers
These Almond-Crusted Chicken Fingers are a favorite of mine because they are easy to make, yummy, and healthy. And with just the two of us, there are enough leftovers for the husband’s lunch the next day.
The recipe calls for four egg whites, but I used two without running out of liquid for the breading. The breading [...]
Spice Cake
This was a very simple cake to make. The preparation took only a couple minutes. I was looking for a simple cake that didn’t need to be frosted. I am not very good at frosting anything. As you can see, I am barely any good at spreading a glaze over the top.
The recipe called for [...]
