I’m baaa-aaack!
It’s been quite a while, I’m sorry. This summer just got away from us – and we didn’t even go to the beach this year! We have been so incredibly busy lately, and one of the downsides of being busy is a) I don’t cook and b) We don’t eat as healthy. I decided [...]

Nilla Wafer Dessert

Admit it, just like me you still sometimes crave dipping Nilla Wafers in milk till they are a little soggy, no? We all still have a little preschool left in us. But I found another, slightly more “grown up” dessert using a 4-year-old’s favorite snack – and it only uses three ingredients.
This one I found [...]
Smitten Kitchen Update

I blogged a few weeks ago about making Asparagus, Goat Cheese, and Lemon Pasta from Smitten Kitchen, and I finally did it tonight. I can’t believe I waited so long!
It literally took 12 minutes to make, and it tasted like it had taken much longer. Deb suggests adding some lemon juice if you feel it [...]
“I Love Rocky Road!”

One of last week’s Hungry Girl emails was called “I Love Rocky Road!” and described how to make low-cal rocky road fudge. I was skeptical at first, but decided to give it a whirl, and made a double batch for two different birthday parties. The interesting thing about this fudge is you only get a [...]
Ricotta, Ham, and Scallion Tart

Food Network Magazine does it again! This recipe was delicious and took no time at all. I especially liked using refrigerated pizza dough for the crust instead of pie crust – it gave the dish a heartier flavor but didn’t make it too heavy. I’d recommend serving this with some roasted tomatoes sprinkled with blue [...]

One of my new favorite blogs to follow is Smitten Kitchen, cleverly subtitled “Fearless cooking from a tiny kitchen in New York City.” Husband and wife team Deb & Alex combine forces to create posts that are fun to read and have amazing photographs. They sound like they’d be fun people to hang around.
I saw [...]
Udon With Tofu and Asian Greens

One of my favorite features of the Food Network Magazine is the Weeknight Cooking section, which compiles 16 recipes that can easily be made after getting home from a long day at work. Tonight I tried Udon With Tofu and Asian Greens – or, rather, my take on it! I didn’t have any udon noodles [...]

A coworker of mine has been making this punch for years, and we always look forward to it at every office party. It literally takes 5 minutes to make, and tastes fantastic!
Party Punch
2 liters of ginger ale
1 liter of club soda (I’ve also used seltzer water, you can’t tell the difference)
1/2 can limeade concentrate
1/2 can [...]
More Party Food!

My husband bought me the Hungry Girl cookbook for Christmas this year, and I’ve found so many great recipes inside. When planning his birthday party, I wanted to find some party-type dishes that didn’t go overboard on the calories, so I made Hungry Girl’s banana pudding and pigs in a blanket – both were easy [...]

My cousin Becky is a whiz in the kitchen, and she makes the most incredible cakes! If she lived here in DC I’d recommend her to everyone I know. I unfortunately did not inherit her baking skills, even though I’ve had success with some of her recipes including her easy cake cookies. It’s her recipe [...]
