I hadn’t realized that it’s been almost a month since I posted last. It’s all grading all the time here so there really hasn’t been much of interest to post. The semester’s over next week so hopefully things will pick up around here then. In the meantime, have an adaptation of my standard banana bread [...]

Carroty Goodness

A friend shared a truly yummy recipe for zucchini bread with me last summer. The zucchini is long gone but I found myself some extra carrots today and thought – why not? So I made carrot bread and it turned out to be delicious. It’s even 5-year-old approved. Carrot Bread (makes 1 loaf) 1 egg [...]

I made quite a bit of biscotti over the past month – some for us and some for gifting. I’ve had a few requests for recipes so I thought I’d post them here. The chocolate biscotti is from Farmgirl Fare: Easy Chocolate Biscotti. I made it exactly by her recipe and we had some plain [...]
The tale of the ginormous sweet potato

Once upon a time there was a ginormous sweet potato. Here it is with a Diet Coke for scale: According the receipt from the grocery it weighs 3.87 pounds. An almost. FOUR. POUND. sweet potato. It was only slightly smaller than ChaosGirl’s head. After cutting off the ends it barely fit in my 1.5 qt [...]

I know content has been kind of light here lately. It’s not even that there is a lot going on – in fact it’s pretty much the opposite. There’s not really anything going on that’s worth blogging about. It’s still hot. ChaosGirl still has a broken arm (though she did get out of the cast [...]
Long time No recipe

And this isn’t even a “new” recipe – it’s more of a hot weather hack of an old recipe. Any of you still have a bread machine hanging round? In an effort not to turn on the oven and add to the heat I’ve started playing with my bread machine for non-yeast breads. It turns [...]
Random Bullets of Cooking

I got sqaut for interesting blog fodder today so you get random bullets of cooking I cooked quite a bit over the weekend. The Lemon-Garlic Chicken in the crock pot lost all the lemony flavor by the time it was done. I’ll try it again someday on the grill. The Cheesecake Brownies had some crust [...]
Another Roast Recipe

I made pot roast last night because I found a nice one on sale at the grocery. It went in the crock pot as usual but with some different-than-normal accompaniments. This is based on a recipe that I found in one of those checkout aisle books but I didn’t have some of the ingredients it [...]
