Golden Macaroni and Cheese with Caramelized Onions

March 31, 2011

I love KerryGold Butter. The difference in flavor is remarkable compared to the standard brand and I love to use it for special recipes. However, my first love from the Kerrygold brand is their Dubliner Cheese. Dubliner is a sweet mature cheese (aged over twelve months) manufactured by Carbery and marketed internationally under the Kerrygold [...]

Mustard Glazed Chicken with Arugula and Bok Choy

March 28, 2011

I recently received a box of organic produce filled with some pretty standard fare including blueberries, oranges, sweet potatoes and onions (made an easy casserole with those two) and also included in that box was bok choy. I knew what it was, I’m sure I’ve had it somewhere but when I found myself in possession [...]

Lemon Meringue Pie with Ginger Lemon Cookie Crust

March 24, 2011

When I received an amazing gift of Meyer lemons from my friend Kim at Rustic Garden Bistro a couple of months ago, they were waylaid. Somewhere that we will never be privy to. All I know is that two shipments from California made at the same time saw one get to Indiana a week earlier [...]

Easy Cinnamon Buns…Really!

March 22, 2011

My friend Ken at Hungry Rabbit just posted this recipe a couple of days ago. One of those mornings when I was struggling with a breakfast decision. Should it be toast or Cheerios; yogurt or an English muffin. Ken…why must you tease me like that?? But the truth is, I had in mind making a [...]

Sweet Potato and Onion Casserole meets Front Range Foodies!

March 13, 2011

I don’t like to bemoan the past year over and over; I’m bored with the injury I suffered in February of 2010 and can’t imagine anyone wants to hear about what I lovingly call my ‘stupid’ leg. But it has been a difficult year. I broke a bone in my left leg in February and [...]

‘Irish Coffee’ Cake and a Great Cause for Children – St. Baldrick’s Foundation

March 8, 2011

St Patrick’s Day will be here soon and I’ve got enough Irish in me to start thinking about a celebration. Not a big party but an opportunity to pay homage to a part of my ancestry (My Dad’s parents were German and Swiss; my Mom’s English and Irish). I’ll usually make corned beef for dinner, [...]

German Pancake (Dutch Baby

March 7, 2011

First, let me thank Rachael, @fujimama, for asking me to do this post during Pancake Week for her readers on Babble. Until this past week I had no idea there was an entire week devoted to pancake love but I’ve got the love so am more than willing to celebrate! I’ve known Rachael for almost [...]

Chicken Scallopini with Mushrooms

March 2, 2011

True confession. I love chicken. I don’t eat chicken because it’s less expensive than other meats, I eat it because I love how easy it is to prepare and even more how versatile it is. And this is one of my absolute favorite dishes. The finished result is beyond the ease of preparation. OK…so another [...]

Almond Cake with Boysenberry Jam from Bon Appetit RSVP

March 1, 2011

This almond cake is like a pound cake with the added bonus of having a heavenly almond flavor. The reader who requested the recipe from Bon Appetit magazine commented that she could not get enough of it. I get that, it’s just a great cake and the jam filling is perfect. Both texture and flavor [...]
