Whipped Out

So Hubby and I have lost our minds and we’re hosting Second Seder. I’m looking up recipes for chicken soup (but the matzoh ball recipe is on the side of the box, so no worries there!), charoset, and all the other foods. You guys are fabulous cooks, so I thought I’d ask: what’s your favorite [...]

I admit that this is a recipe I made up myself. Years ago, when Josh and I were first dating we used to buy a kit in the refrigerator section that made the best Mexican casserole. Although, since they discontinued making it, perhaps we were the only ones who thought so. But we so often [...]

Like Angie, I usually do a weekly menu, but I don’t assign nights for the different meals, partly because our evenings are almost always in flux, since I don’t know when Hubby is going to come home, and partly because I might not be in the mood for whatever I assigned. I love it when [...]

I mentioned I was making chicken bog this week and Gail asked in the comments what it is. It’s something I had never heard of until I met my husband, and had it in a meal at my in-laws house. Josh likes it, and it’s a good alternate use of chicken (or leftover turkey) so [...]

My brother requested I make Chicken and Dumplings. I asked him if he wanted Chicken and Biscuits or Chicken and Dumplings. He said Chicken and Dumplings. That’s what he got. Turns out he meant Chicken and Biscuits. Men. But I’d never actually made Chicken and Dumplings before and I like to try new things, so [...]

Katie Dunneback has her fingers in lots of pies. Her mother is glad
it’s no longer the butter. Professionally, she currently is working
for a state agency providing consulting services to libraries.
Personally, she has been cooking and baking since she was a small kid,
knitting for almost five years, and took up scrapbooking a few months
ago. Online, she [...]

I realized that I referenced this pizza sauce in my pizza casserole recipe, but didn’t actually provide the recipe anywhere. I thought it was already on this site, but I can’t find it so… Bonus recipe! If you can, you should always make homemade pizza sauce. It’s fairly quick and easy to make up, and [...]

Last week in my weekly menu, I mentioned I was making pizza casserole and had a request for the recipe. This is fairly quick (from start to finish it takes me an hour, including making the sauce) and usually family and kid friendly. It makes a lot, so half the recipe if you’re cooking for [...]

Back in July, Angie, Jane and I went to a restaurant in DC called Hook. Angie, damn her, introduced me to the lemon drop martini. I’m not a big martini drinker though I learned to make them when I was around 11 or 12, since both my grandmothers drank them. One liked them with vermouth [...]

Well…the weather outside is frightful… No really, I’m not just singing, it is. We’re currently snowed in and likely to stay that way all weekend. Not optimal for someone who’s had a long week at work and wanted to go shoe shopping this weekend, not be locked inside. But I don’t seem to have much [...]
