It’s summer…and it’s HOT. It might even be in the 100s today. It hasn’t been that hot in Michigan in a long time. When it’s hot the best thing to eat is ice cream 🙂 And sometimes it’s nice to have an ice cream treat…that isn’t filled with chemicals and vegetable oils. Yesterday Rebecca and …
Meal Plans Week of 6-24-12
Happy Sunday. It’s the start of another hot week here. It’ll be a busy one, too. Last week we had quite a bit of down time. It was nice. Yesterday we made a trip east to meet our new niece, Bristol. Such a precious little baby! Seeing her, my “baby” definitely doesn’t look anything like a …
"Dutch" Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
Last week I made one final strawberry rhubarb dessert. I made a pie to bring to a family gathering. Instead of a traditional pie I made it similar to Dutch Apple Pie with a crumble topping. It was a big hit with everyone. So good! I might have to make this every summer. This post …
The Mary Diet
When it comes to “diets” I’ve practically tried it all – low fat, high fat, low carb, high carb, low protein, high protein, low fiber, high fiber, grain free, gluten free, dairy free, egg free, nut free, soy free, red meat free, IBS diet, GAPS,…you get the picture. I’m by no means an expert, but …
Meal Plans Week of 6-17-12
Happy Father’s Day! I am blessed to have a wonderful father, a loving husband, a great FIL and a caring grandfather. Happy Father’s Day to all of you. We have a little Father’s Day gift today…some much needed rain 🙂 Hopefully it will bring a little break from the heat. We will also (hopefully) have …
RR – Cheese Chicken Nuggets
I’m starting a new recipe category – RR. It does not stand for Rachael Ray (especially since I rarely make her recipes). It stand for Rebecca’s Recipes! As Rebecca and I create and make her recipes I’ll share them…if they are worth sharing 🙂 This week we made “cheese chicken nuggets.” It’s a chicken nugget …
Strawberry Cream Pops
Rebecca and I spotted a delicous looking recipe in my Kiwi magazine this week. It sounded so easy that we decided to make it right away. It only has a few ingredients. It is so simple and so good!! Strawberry cream pops are a healthy, delicious treat. I gave one to Rebecca for breakfast yesterday! …
Chocolate Ganache Cake
I finally tried my last recipe from my pile that has been on our breakfast nook for years. It’s a Barefoot Contessa recipe that my mom cut out for me. It’s a Valentine’s recipe that she calls Chocolate Ganache Heart Cake and makes in a heart shaped pan. I just used a 9″ round cake …
Homemade Deluxe Grahams
After making thin mint cookies last week I decided it would be fun to experiment with other cookie remakes. The chocolate mint reminded me of Keebler Grasshopper cookies. Before we started eating real food Justin ate those quite often. He also enjoyed the deluxe grahams. So yesterday I did a play on those. I made …
Cobb Style Rice Bowls
Last night I made my other Rachael Ray recipe that’s been sitting in my recipe pile for several years. It’s a very simple dish and really can be quite versatile depending on your tastes. I made it mostly according to the recipe. But I don’t have any kale. I just sauteed some leaf lettuce from …
