Everyone who has set foot in a kitchen knows what Pyrex is. Everyone. I guess I got my first set of Pyrex mixing bowls with lids when I moved into my first apartment 15 years ago. I still have that set…and the lids. I can’t say that about any other mixing bowl I have ever […]
More specifically…Lasagne of Emilia-Romagna. Lasagne is always good, if you ask me. Mostly I enjoyed hanging out with Jon in the kitchen (he made the ragu and bechamel while I made the pasta and rolled it into noodles – thanks Kit!) so that was my take-away from it…spending time with the Hub. Well, that and […]
So I am at work today, computerless, bored out of my gourd. (Note to self – Make sure computer is working again ASAP.) Anyway, I pull out my beloved iPhone and check my Tweeties. Gotta love that phone. So CB tweets about her weekend plan of making Cupcake Pops for the first time. Decides that […]
I wish I could say that I was giving this vacation away, but I’m not. Caravan Tours is. I was a travel agent for several years (and can still book trips if anyone is ready to pack) but never made it down to Costa Rica. I still plan on going though- its always nicely priced, […]
I recently had the opportunity to review a digital kitchen scale for Newline. I was thrilled! I had heard some nice reviews about their products, so getting one of my own was a real treat. A digital scale may not be something the average person thinks they need in the kitchen, but I am here […]
For the past few weeks I have been showing you the meals we have had here at home instead of going out to a restaurant to eat. A place like Outback, or Applebee’s or a steakhouse in general. But what about those weeks when you just want a great burger? For me, if I think […]
Measuring spoons and Daddy’s Hard Hat. If Mommy is in the kitchen, it’s best to have your bases covered…you never know what you may need.
When I heard the words Crumb Cake, I thought of Coffee Cake. And when I think of Coffee Cake, I think of stale. Like, cardboard cake that is sitting out in an office breakroom, who-knows-how-many-days old, brought in by that secretary who saw it a few days ago in the grocery but forgot to bring […]
Whaaaaa? Susan? Entering the Pillsbury Bake-Off? I think I almost choked while typing that. You see, I am not that person. Before Seven was born, well, I couldn’t bake my way out of a paper bag. So to sit here and tell you that I, Susan Whetzel, am entering the Pillsbury Bake-Off is kind of, […]
The other day I got a wild hair and decided to make Samoas. Jon loves them, but at $3.50 a box (or is it more now?) it’s hard to jusify buying too many. This recipe makes 3 dozen, which is more than 2 boxes worth – and I had all of the ingredients on hand. […]
Here we are again, another week come and gone in the blink of an eye. Time flies, doesn’t it? For our “Stay At Home Meal” this week we have Orange Glazed Chicken with Herbed Rice and Green Beans. Not that we don’t stay home for every meal – well, this is the meal we are […]
