I recently started making homemade sourdough bread. If you know what I am talking about, I have a lot of discard in my fridge. So I looked up recipes, modified, and think this one works well. Ingredients 500mg sourdough discard 2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 cup raisins 2 tsps baking powder 2 tablespoons water 1 tspContinue reading “Cinnamon Raisin Sourdough Pancakes with Fresh Apple Topping”

Caramelized Meat & Swiss Sambo
I was having a couple friends over for lunch. Truth be told, I have a hundred recipes to make for dinner and about two recipes to make for a nice, formal lunch. Plot twist, they were coming over with their almost 3-year-old, so I wanted a menu that everyone could eat. These fancy caramelized meatContinue reading “Caramelized Meat & Swiss Sambo”

Luscious Meat+Veggie Lasagna
So I have been in hot pursuit of a tasty lasagna recipe that is more than meat, noodles, and tomato sauce. I think I’ve found it! Ingredients: 16 ounces hot ground sausage 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 3 large carrots, chopped (about 1 cup) 1 red or green bell pepper, chopped 1 medium zucchini, chopped or 1 Cup butternut squash,Continue reading “Luscious Meat+Veggie Lasagna”
Creamy Tortellini Soup and Sausage
So I made this meal on a whim. I had some of the ingredients for a Creamy Tortellini Soup with Sausage and improvised on the rest. I thought it was okay, but my husband said the soup made the list of his top 5 soups. Apparently (for him) thicker, creamier, meatier is the way toContinue reading “Creamy Tortellini Soup and Sausage”
Lobster Bisque
I do not really enjoy seafood soups, but my husband does, so I read half a dozen different recipes (with reviews) and combined the best of all the recipes. The soup turned out great, and I would make it again. Update: I did make this soup again for my mother-in-law and husband. The second timeContinue reading “Lobster Bisque”
Crisp Peach Cobbler
This fall in Nevada has been awesome for fresh, organic fruit. My friend gave me a ton of apples. After making a bunch of crisps, I tried a sauce and butter. They were both fantastic. Then I was offered a bunch of super ripe peaches. I thought about doing a salsa for fish tacos, butContinue reading “Crisp Peach Cobbler”
Apple Butter
My friend gave me a TON of apples. I made a HUGE batch of apple crisp that was quickly devoured, and I still had over a dozen apples left. I considered apple pie, applesauce, some type of cobbler, but settled on apple butter. I used to love apple butter as a child. Every fall itContinue reading “Apple Butter”
Tasty Nachos
The Twins home-opener was last week. With the absence of sports due to COVID, we were pretty excited to watch a baseball game. Feeling pumped for the game, we wanted to create the ‘baseball stadium feel’ at home with some tasty nachos and cold beer! We have made nachos in the past that were ‘okay,’Continue reading “Tasty Nachos”
Pretty Sexy Chicken and Rice Soup
I will not say it is the BEST chicken soup you’ll ever eat, because ‘best’ is subjective. However, I will say it is my favorite. It is so hard to get good flavor into chicken soup: broth can be bland; vegetables are bland; and let’s be honest, the average chicken noodle soup (or in thisContinue reading “Pretty Sexy Chicken and Rice Soup”
