2007-04-23 03:43:37
I have been prescribed a little indulgence in these later stages of pregnancy, so I have been making my favorite baked goods and cheese-filled Italian dishes.

Sour Cream M&M Cookies
2007-04-20 02:54:57
My granddaddy used to work for M&M Mars, so M&M cookies were a big tradition at our house growing up. It is one of those traditions that I want to continue with my own family. My family’s recipe is amazing, but I wanted one that had less butter and would translate better [...]

Baked Eggplant Parmesan
2007-04-18 21:50:53

Banana Chocolate Coconut Blondies “Monkey Bars”
2007-04-17 03:11:14
I have dubbed this recipe, “Monkey Bars,” because Jude, my little monkey, loves them. Not to mention that he acted like a monkey while I was making them. He has claimed ownership over mommy’s onions and throws them at every opportunity. I had just swept the floor, but decided that [...]

2007-04-16 03:08:39
As I was sitting at breakfast on Saturday in my yoga pants and over-sized t-shirt, I turned to my husband and said, “I have done a terrible job getting dressed with this pregnancy.” Without skipping a beat he chimed back, “At least the food is better this time, honey.” I laughed. I [...]

Crustless Cheesecake
2007-04-11 02:48:17
Ok, confession. This is the first cheesecake I have made…ever. I have always been intimidated by the cheesecake, but I decided to dive in head first and make one for company. I wanted a cheesecake that was firm enough to be served au naturel. I went looking for a cheesecake [...]

Easy Chicken Pot Pie
2007-04-30 21:44:22
This easy recipe for chicken pot pie has just a top crust. I used cornmeal and honey in the topping for an old-fashioned taste. The vegetables I used are just a guideline- experiment with what you have left at the end of the week. I missed this comfort food because it is [...]

My friends threw me a baby shower this weekend. All the food was gluten-free! They made recipes that would not be cross-contaminated in their kitchens, like marinated cheeses, dips, and they also served fruit. We really had a good time and I was so touched by everyone’s sensitivity and generosity. It [...]

[Dad’s favorite] School Days Peanut Butter Cookies
2007-05-16 22:01:10
I have been cooking all week, but this has definitely not been reflected on this blog. There have been some failures and some good recipes made, but nothing particularly blogworthy.

Chocolate Gelato
2007-07-01 20:55:36
Well, I am still pregnant. Unbelievable. There are two reasons for this: 1) Longest gestation EVER or 2) My dates are just really, really wrong. I am guessing it is the latter. That is what I get for having children so close together. So, the baby will come when it [...]
