So I have a new love. I have to admit, I’ve been neglecting my former loves. Facebook, Google Reader, Foodgawker. They’re still in my heart, but I’ve found a new obsession: Pinterest. Have you heard of it? Please go join right now. And follow me. You won’t regret it. And you’ll find lots of fun…
Oatmeal Everything Cookies
So I felt bad for Nick and his classmates working SO hard lately, and decided to make them cookies. Then I visited their squadron building yesterday. Work? Uhmmm, yeah right. There is more booze in that place than I had in my college dorm room! Work hard, play hard… I guess? Hmmm, I suppose they…
Aimee’s Double Lemon Bars
When I lived in Daytona Beach, Florida, my friend (and roommate when I lived in Paris) Aimee came to visit me. I had just started dating Nick, and decided to have him and some of his friends over for dinner, margaritas and a little Apples to Apples. I always love entertaining, but the real reason for…
Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are the perfect texture– crisp on the edges and chewy in the middle. The chocolate chips are the perfect compliment to the salty peanut butter! If you have even the tiniest lack of self control, do not make these. Seriously. When you’re curled up in a ball on…
Lemon Poppy Seed Scones
These Lemon Poppy Seed Scones are the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. They pair wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee! This recipe was inspired by a new food to hit my kitchen, that I’ve never really used or cooked with before: poppy seeds! More interesting than the recipe, though, is how these…
Belgian Wit Beer Cookies
A couple months ago, Nick brewed a Belgian Witbier. It was our first all-grain batch, and you may remember I made dog treats for Kaiser out of the spent grains. The beer has orange peel and coriander in it, so it’s a bit reminiscent of a Blue Moon (one of my favorite mainstream beers, by…
Spent Grain Pecan Raisin Granola Bars
It hasn’t been very long since Nick brewed a batch of beer and I made dog treats from the spent grain. Since then, though, he’s already brewed 2 more batches! He’s on a bit of a frenzy, but I can’t complain… at least it this hobby is much more rewarding for me than his playing…
S’mores Brownies
Nick finally started class last week. Now that we’re both busy bees and out of the house a lot more, finding time to cook is becoming more challenging. I’m always up for a challenge, though! This weekend Nick had his new classmates over. We kept it simple with burgers and my Asiany coleslaw, but I…
