 For a while now I’ve been trying to incorporate more beans into our diet as a main protein for one meal each week and have been so happy with this navy bean soup recipe, there was no way I could resist sharing it with you. I have adapted this recipe to suit our tastes and we [...]  Why didn’t I think of this (or read it somewhere online) before now? Last week, I was preparing chicken enchiladas for dinner and had a flash of brilliance (or that’s what I’d like to think!). I had the cooked, shredded chicken ready to go and as I was assembling the other ingredients for the filling, decided [...]  Last week was such a bizarre week around here. The ice storm really threw me off schedule. Our power was restored Thursday morning around 9. We quickly packed up and headed home because Michael was suppose to be at work by 10 (he only had a 2 hour delay that day). Somehow I was just totally [...]  Ever wondered how to serve sauces, dips or syrups to small children without creating a huge mess all over them and the table? I have a solution for you! I found these small, 3 ounce dishes at Walmart a couple of years ago. I think I spent about $2 for 6 of them and they have been [...]  Last year, after many years of use and moving house my 3qt stainless saucepan/pot somehow managed to get warped on the bottom. We tried to fix it. I heated it with water in it and then Michael hammered away at the bottom of it, trying to smooth out the warping, but to no avail. Normally, [...]  One of the easiest ways for me to make a mess in a hurry in my kitchen is to try to drizzle frosting, melted chocolate or try to “pipe” some sort of filling into something. Thankfully, a few years ago, I learned the trick of scooping whatever the medium is into a plastic zip top bag. [...]  Ah, another hot week is upon us. If you follow me on Twitter, yesterday you might have seen my tweet about this summer weather being a hindrance to my menu planning… it has been awful. I haven’t wanted to cook (inside or out) and have been entirely too lazy. I think part of it has to [...]  In an effort to make the most of the kitchen gadgets and appliances I already have, I tend to put off purchasing something I really want and would use frequently for a long time (like a year or more). It has been no different in figuring out if I would really get enough use [...] This week is sure to be a long one for me, though definitely not as long as those days during Michael’s recent deployment. However, Michael is on 12 hour shifts this week and will be at work until 7 pm each day. We typically eat dinner about 5:30, so we decided that I’ll continue with [...]  For years, when cooking/baking something that required being greased or oiled (skillets, cake pans, etc) I would pour a bit of oil in the bottom of the pot/pan, fold up a paper towel and then wipe the oil around with the towel to coat the bottom and sides. However, a few years ago a friend turned [...]  |
