Seriously, these are so delicious and incredibly easy. While I make my chocolate cake from scratch, my scratch-made chocolate waffles have never quite measured up to these. My mother was always throwing random stuff into the waffle iron when we girls were little. Two of my favorites were devil’s food waffles and cornbread waffles. We…
Catherine, correct me if I’m wrong… but I think this is how it went. The first time I met my dear friend Catherine, she had just moved into my hall (I was a Resident Assistant) as a freshman in college. She knew that there was a no-hotplate rule in our residence hall, and concerned, asked…
We’ve harvested quite a few zucchinis from our garden by now, and thoroughly enjoyed each one. I’m LOVING the fact that I can go out into the back yard and pluck dinner off of a plant we’ve nurtured since it was a seedling. The first garden-zucchini-laden meal we’ve had this summer was a vegetable fried…
First of all, there were some ERRORs involved in this… the cheese didn’t mix in very well with the rest of the stuff (I added it at the “raisin beep” on my bread machine), which resulted in a lot of it being on top and bubbling over, burning in the machine. Also, it seems to…
This is how the garden looked a few days ago… lots and lots of monkey grass, a weird bush thing on the left (which was actually 3 separate plants), and a bunch of weeds. So we pulled up a lot of the monkey grass, that ugly bush, and all the weeds. And put in lots…
I love eggplant parmesan, when it’s done correctly! I’m not saying my way is “THE Right Way” but it works pretty well for me… what I DON’T like in an eggplant parmesan is bitterness or too-tough-ness due to undercooked eggplant. Soggy breading is also a downer. So here’s how I avoid those pitfalls. First, bitterness….
So, things are looking a lot nicer around here, as far as home decor goes. Now that we’ve finally been home for a couple of weeks, we’ve gotten some pictures on the walls and everything! Check out our guest room! Who wants to come visit?? The lamps don’t match, but that’s kind of lower priority…
The plants are (mostly) thriving! I took these pictures several days ago, and they’re already outdated! The first two plants (left) are my tomatoes. They both have had little flowers but no tomatoes yet… The left one looks kind of sickly compared to the right one, and I’m beginning to think that those two may…
So I probably should’ve written sometime in the last couple weeks about this… but so much was going on! First, we went to South Carolina for a week, and since then we’ve been settling in and getting our newest family member used to the way things work here. About a week before we went to…
I told you I’d let you know what we did with the leftover chicken and veggies from our fajitas! This was really just a thrown-together idea but it ended up tasting so delicious we’ll definitely repeat it. Cook some spaghetti noodles until al dente. Meanwhile, take the leftover chicken…
We made these fajitas when we still only had one pot and one pan, and the movers still hadn’t come with the rest of our goods. I forgot to take pictures of the veggies cooking, but I’ll tell you about it. First, I cut up 2 onions and 2 green bell peppers, and sauteed them…
How easy can it get? Cut up some chicken and cook it in a pan, then throw it into one of those bagged Caesar salads. You know the ones… the lettuce is already cut and washed, and it includes the croutons and the dressing. Of course, it’s much more economical to make your own salad,…
