Meal Plans Week of 11-25-12
The Thanksgiving kitchen chaos is over. We didn’t really have a traditional celebration this year, but I still spent three days in the kitchen making food. We brought dinner to my grandparents on Thanksgiving and had a guest over the next day. It took a lot of work to prepare and deliver an entire Thanksgiving dinner. …
Holiday Brie En Croute
Every so often Justin points out a recipe in our local newspaper. I usually glance at it and comment on how junky it is or that I have no need for more recipes to set on my counter and forget about. Last week he saw a recipe for brie en croute. Basically brie cheese in …

Sea Salt Caramel Cheesecake Ice Cream
Sea salt caramel cheesecake ice cream is a delicious dessert. It combines gooey caramel with rich cheesecake in a creamy treat – a perfect match. I make ice cream all the time. I make all different flavors. I don’t post recipes very often because I just mix and taste as I go. This week I …
