Cracking eggs one carton at a time.
I own a lot of kitchen utensils and gadgets.I've got a KitchenAid mixer. A food processor. A sushi bazooka. A griddle.

Something as simplistic and necessary as a whisk and yet… Continue reading Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast Casserole
While I was at Trader Joe's the other day, I found this little pre-packaged sandwich in their ready-to-eat section. It was turkey, cranberry and pecan salad with arugula on a wheat roll---and it was FANTASTIC. The only thing I didn't like: celery was on it.

We were preparing for the worst, yet hoping for… Continue reading Pumpkin Pecan Slab Pie

I've carried on the tradition since moving out, but I'm not sure Rob loves the breakfast casserole nearly as much as I do. This year will… Continue reading Chicken & Sun-Dried Tomato Frittata
I'm about to run out of room in my kitchen with all the cookie-baking I've been doing over the last few weeks. I only have one cookie jar, and four or five Christmas containers. I've been taking most of the Christmas cookies to work (which I think my co-workers appreciate), but I still have an… Continue reading Christmas Cake Mix Cookies
