So a friend sent me a Hello Fresh discount code for 1/2 off a week’s delivery and I forgot about it for months until I got a reminder e-mail from Hello Fresh (guess those reminder e-mails do work!). And it was almost Thanksgiving, so I figured I’d have an order delivered the week following; that way I wouldn’t have to go grocery shopping when I got home after traveling for the holiday. I’ve only made one recipe so far and here’s my conclusion on Hello Fresh: it’s convenient, but I see no need to have a weekly or even a…

Continue ReadingThese are yum and fun to pull out! I found that the recipe I used (see below) was actually a bit sweet, and judging by my taste-test of the batter, I think the cookies lost some of their cake-batter-ness with the addition of the sugars. No, I didn’t eat 4 cookies worth of dough … >.>. Shhhhh. Next time I think I’ll try leaving out the sugar. Or maybe make a full batch leaving all sugar out of one half, and adding only brown sugar to the other half. Will have to do some experimenting. I know all my friends…

I’ve been cooking up a storm lately, so we’ve been eating leftovers out the wahzoo. They’re delicious, but they impede my cooking because I don’t want to waste food! So I made pot pie filling the other day for an easy Monday dinner before I go to volleyball. But I was ravenous when I got home, so I had to make an appetizer/side. These “pizza rolls” were perfect! So easy to make and so yummy! T approved. The ones pictured here are made with mozzarella and cheddar cheese! But you can use whatever kind of cheese you like, e.g., pepperjack…

I recently discovered that I don’t mind brussel sprouts. I honestly had never tried them before last year when I first made this recipe. To be fair, it was because my mother hates them and obviously never made them for us growing up because she didn’t want to eat them. So to my young self, since everyone said brussel sprouts were icky, they were obviously icky! Child logic at work for you. I actually discovered that I liked brussel sprouts at a cooking class. I use the term “like” loosely here. I like them for a vegetable — they’re still…

I really wanted to make these lamb kebabs! I’d never really made lamb before, and these looked simple and tasty. The spices were definitely aromatic as you heat them up on the stove, although I didn’t do a wonderful job of mixing them well into the meat. Ad I’m always worried that the meat will turn out tough, and that’s not what you want, especially for kebabs. Once I formed the kebabs, I actually ended up freezing them because T and I had way too many leftovers to eat at the time, and I didn’t want the meat to spoil!…

So we might’ve moved in over a month ago. We also might’ve had our party just under a month ago. But I did just re-make this pepper cheddar popcorn and wanted to share it with the world. Mostly because I made it by accident, and those are the tastiest recipes. Plus it’s just so fun to watch the kernels popping …! We decided to have a beer tasting housewarming! Since everyone we invited was coming from all over, we just had everyone bring a 6-pack or a growler of some awesome local beers! We got an awesome variety, and we downed…
