We eat a LOT of chicken wings around here. Back when Jon and I were in college, still dating, we would join my roommate Nicole and Jon’s roommate Nick (now my brother in law) for chicken wings every Wednesday. There was a bar downtown that used to do a buffet with about 20 different wing […]
Okay, maybe that isn’t as funny to you as it is to me. But I have a warped sense of humor, and things like that make me giggle. What the helanga is malanga? Hehe. I wondered this very thing one day when shopping at Food Lion. Now, I live in Podunk, which is the capitol […]
Everyone should have one…a go to cookie recipe. But not just ANY cookie – a chocolate chip cookie. Who doesn’t love chocolate chip cookies? Who doesn’t have some childhood fondness for the taste of the dough, the warm chocolate stuck to your fingers from the just out of the oven first bite? Chocolate chip cookies […]
It was a busy week here at Doughmesstic! In case you are just checking in, here’s what you missed… This Week’s Posts On Monday, we started the week with something a little different around here – HEALTHY FOOD. Oatmeal with Pears & Granola. It’s so rare to find something GOOD for you on my site, […]
For the past few weeks, I have been completely obsessed with potstickers. Obsessed. In fact, at one point, the local Chinese restaurant in town actually ran out of them, because of me. Truth. It’s an addiction. So last weekend, Jon joined me in the kitchen with the attitude that we were going to conquer the […]
Ever since my trip to the Dole Summit last November, you might say that I have become a bit obsessed with oatmeal. Every hotel I have stayed in between then and now, I’ve managed a bowl for breakfast, topped with sugar, fresh fruit, and granola. Growing up, it’s just not something we ate. Sure, from […]
Happy Weekend, everyone! I’ve been thinking of starting a segment here on Doughmesstic, where I slow it down, do a little rewind, and take a deep breath before bounding in to next week. I’ll be wrapping up and discussing my posts from the previous week, as well as addressing questions some of my readers had […]
Wasn’t that great news? I love hearing when one of my favorite things is actually GOOD for me. You must be, too! According to new United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) nutrition data*, eggs are lower in cholesterol than previously thought. The USDA recently reviewed the nutrient composition of standard large eggs, and results show […]
Peanut Butter. Again. For someone who claims to have an issue with peanut butter, I certainly do seem to have an affinity for it this week. Or perhaps it’s just that I am completely enamored of Peanut Butter & Company and their entire line of insanely good peanut butters. Take these cookies, for example. They […]
Sometimes you don’t need a fussy recipe to have something amazingly delicious. Take this sandwich, for example. Yes, it’s a tiny bit more complicated than smearing some peanut butter and jam on a piece of bread, but only slightly. Seriously. I made one for breakfast, and it took no time at all. I hate to […]
