Last night, Nick invited one of his classmates and his wife over for dinner and studying. (Though I’m pretty sure more eating than studying got done). Though Nick and I will eat almost anything you put in front of us, I’ve found that most people are a whole lot more picky than us. Since I…
Parmesan Herb Doggy Treats
Since Kaiser loved my Peanut Butter Dog Treats so much, I decided to try another recipe out on him. If there’s anything that dog likes as much as peanut butter (and toilet water), it’s cheese. Except Swiss, which for some reason he’s decided he doesn’t like anymore. But that’s another story. When I saw a…
Sausages on Homemade Pretzel Buns
This one is for all my Boston buddies. Everyone who’s spent a night out around Fenway with me and stopped at The Sausage Guy at 2 am to pick up something delicious for the walk home. Oh yeah, you know what I’m talking about. The idea for these sandwiches started with these beauties. For a…
Toasted Squash Seeds
I’ve given you all a couple ideas for St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow, so today let’s talk about another holiday. Halloween! What’s the best part about Halloween? Carving pumpkins! What’s the best part about carving pumpkins? Roasting pumpkin seeds! But wait! Those aren’t pumpkin seeds… Can you guess what they are? Remember this guy? That’s right….
St. Patrick’s Day Cookies!
Another holiday is just around the corner, and you know what that means… An excuse to bake some festive sweets! It’s all about green! When I think green, I think mint. Mint Chocolate Chip just happens to be one of my favorite ice cream flavors, but I’m not sure I’m really up to making my…
Honey Roasted Acorn Squash
This guy has been sitting on my counter for 2 weeks. It was his time. I gutted him, chopped him up, and buried him… I mean, roasted him. I’ve been meaning to incorporate this acorn squash into a meal for some time now, but it just hasn’t happened. I figured if I didn’t do something…
Cherry Chickpea Quinoa Salad
Last week, I made a very healthy Kumquat Quinoa Salad. Nick loved the salad, but wasn’t a huge fan of the kumquats, so I thought I’d like to try the salad again using dried cherries instead. This weekend I got the chance to do just that. Nick’s dad was here visiting for the weekend. He…
Easy Three Bean Chili!
Remember when I made Chicken Barley Chili a few weeks ago, since chili is Nick’s favorite food? Well, that was a new recipe I was testing out. Last night, I made chili again, but this time it was my old tried and true Three Bean Chili recipe. I think I’ve actually made this recipe more…
