Creamy Cheesecake Popovers

April 5, 2012

I’ve done it this time, y’all. You obviously know I love popovers. I AM making 52 different versions this year, after all. But I also adore cheesecake. Thick, creamy, never ricotta-y cheesecake. So why not combine the two? Cheesecake Popovers? Yes, please. Of all the popovers I have made thus far, if these aren’t my [...]

April 4, 2012

Do you ever think about it? Meaning – where your food comes from? No, I don’t mean Food Lion (though mine does, a lot of the time). I mean, really comes from?

Fudgy Caramel Pretzel Brownies

April 2, 2012

I’ve been dreaming of these brownies for a long, long, lonnnng time. I had the idea for them about two days before my oven decided his time was up and thusly chose to leave this cruel, cruel world. I swear it happened the day after I started measuring him for his replacement. 6 weeks ago. [...]

Chicken Change-Up…Oven Fried Herbed Chicken

March 30, 2012

Remodeling a kitchen is expensive, you guys. Even with the deals I am getting on many things (thank heavens), it’s still a lot of cash. So, if I can save a little money on clothes (ha, I don’t buy any), gas, or food, believe me, I DO it. Lucky for me, I was approached by [...]

Coconut and Dark Chocolate Popovers

March 29, 2012

Gosh, I love popovers. And coconut. And chocolate. I would like to go on record and say I am beyond joyous that I can tolerate gluten. You hear about it everywhere these days – Celiac, gluten intolerance – what on Earth? I don’t remember anyone ever being gluten intolerant when I was growing up. For [...]

What You Write About When You Don’t Have a Kitchen

March 28, 2012

Or, in other words, what you write about if you are me. For the past month I have made things in a toaster oven, a crock pot, or on a griddle. Or I have gone to my mother’s house and hijacked her oven. None of these options are ideal. But in the end, this kitchen [...]

Jicama, Orange & Tart Apple Salad

March 27, 2012

I am now on one full month without a working range. Really. Four solid weeks, not oven, no stovetop. In fact, not only is it unusable, it is gone. As in, out of the house. I do have the countertop oven, which is tiny, as well as a griddle and the microwave. This means lots [...]

Chocolate Chip Cookie Popovers

March 22, 2012

Not kidding…these are ridiculous. Imagine the softest, richest, droolworthiest chocolate chip cookie you’ve ever had. Multiply that by 17. Or 42. These are that good. Why didn’t I think of it before? Why did it take not having a working oven in my house to realize the potential of the simplest, most comforting food? (Hey, [...]
