Make a Food-“e”-Friend Monday #2: The MOST POPULAR RECIPES from the Food Blogosphere

Welcome! I got to thinking about the competition between our top recipes since we started this blog, which was just almost 2 months ago. Our blog is just a “baby” blog at this point, and it has been a lot of fun for us. {Back to my original thought on top recipes…} This got me […]

Raspberry and Carob Chip Pancakes

This is The Lucky Wife’s new favorite breakfast. She says she would eat it every day if she could. Look for a blog soon, written by her, on carob. {UPDATE: Check out Carob: Chocolate’s Fraternal Twin and a Healthier Alternative for more about Carob.} Personally, I don’t care for the carob (or chocolate)/raspberry combo. (Note: […]

Garlic Lime Shrimp over Pasta

Well…you guessed it, another variation of a classic to keep us in line with food sensitivities. We found a recipe a while back for lemon pepper shrimp over pasta. We loved it. After going on the elimination diet to pinpoint food sensitivities, two of the main ingredients in that dish were out. Lemon and Pepper. […]

Whiskey Glazed Carrots

EAT YOUR CARROTS!! Who didn’t hear that when they were seven? I did. And most of the time, I would. The old trick of feeding it to the dog under the table didn’t work for me because we did not have pets in the house. A dog’s place was in the yard. Generally, carrots are […]

Squash and Goat Cheese Casserole

I love to watch cooking shows. A few years ago, PBS was showcasing some local chefs where we live. One chef made a squash dish very similar to this one, but I did not like the end result. So I once again took the same basic concept and personalized it. I grew up eating sliced […]

Lime Squares

This recipe is an adaptation of the Tart Lemon Squares recipe from our giveaway baking cookbook, Rosie’s Bakery All-Butter Fresh Cream Sugar-Packed No-Holds Barred Baking Book. We use lime instead of lemon a lot due to a pretty strong sensitivity to amines for the Well-fed Son. It gave the bars a milder flavor, thus, the […]

Sauteed Asparagus with Cashews

 I do not care for asparagus. But the Lucky Wife and the Well-Fed Son love it. I improvised one night in a effort to do something a little different. I honestly did not know how it would turn out. The family was pleasantly surprised. Sauteed Asparagus with Cashews Ingredients: 2 bunches asparagus 1/4 cup […]
