Similar to popovers, Yorkshire pudding is actually a bread. It’s spongy, light, and fluffy… perfect for soaking up gravy. When made in muffin tins or a popover pan, it is a tall muffiny shape, usually with a dip in the center of the top, where the pudding refuses to rise (we like to pour gravy…
This chicken was so delicious, and quite easy to make. I put some Stove Top stuffing into a bag and crushed it into a fine powder. Then, I dried off my clean, raw chicken with paper towels and threw it into the bag with the stuffing powder. I shook it around (Shake and Bake! And…
I’ve been wanting to re-cover my office chair for a while… to match my bulletin board. Then, this post from Design*Sponge reminded me recently, and I finally got off my butt to do it. However… I wish I had a chair like theirs, because the top part (the part your back leans on) on mine…
Now and then, I like to visit Craftster and look at other people’s projects and occasionally post mine. Recently, I found a couple of swaps that sounded fun to me, so I signed up! One of them was a Mini Halloween Swap. We were supposed to send two “medium” and two “small” crafted items to…
Check out this fantastic tutorial for cocktail napkins at The Purl Bee. You could do these for any holiday or any time of year. Sewing Stars has posted a cutesie little skeleton that you can print and cut out. If you put it together with brads, it’s movable. I think it would look really cute…
I’ve been told that this could be considered a copycat recipe for Red Lobster’s cheese biscuits… I’ve only had those once, and they were really good. But I’ve had these many, MANY times… and they just get better and better. I’ve made these a million times… and despite the fact that I love to make…
I sort of used this recipe but altered it a bit. I used 4 bananas and added cinnamon (sifted with the flour) and vanilla (mixed into the banana mixture), as was suggested by several people in their reviews. I also folded in about a cup of oats after everything was combined. They’re very very moist…
I was surprised at the number of my friends who didn’t know what acorn squash is. It is a winter squash with a sweet/nutty flavor. It’s dark green in color, and despite Joy’s thought that maybe they were “one of those useless things people decorate with,” they would be great for decorating because they keep…
We already know that my husband is a “Meat… po-tay-toes” kinda guy. So any excuse for that combination seems to be reason for celebration to him. Well, having had country fried steak (again) earlier in the week, we had two more defrosted cube steaks sitting in the fridge, wanting to be used. The man was…
This was good, though the chicken was blandish. I think next time, I will marinate the chicken in the oil thing PLUS balsamic vinegar, rather than just the oil thing. I got the recipe from the Tyson Foods website. 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts 2 pears, cored and thinly sliced 1/2 cup red onion, thinly…
This homemade pizza had not one, but TWO glaring errors. Number 1… the crust didn’t rise. I haven’t used yeast successfully yet. This was my first experience with it. But I thought that you’re supposed to add the yeast to the warm water/sugar/salt, let it do its thing, and THEN add dry ingredients. This recipe…
Vaguely inspired by this post in VeganYumYum (it looks positively delicious, but I didn’t have a lot of the stuff on hand), I threw together this pasta salad. Boil some salted water and add shell pasta and tri-color rotini. While that’s happening, throw some frozen spinach in the microwave. Of course, fresh spinach is great,…
