    So what I am about to write might be blasphemy.  I’m not a huge fan of every single fall staple.  I don’t really like apple pie.  I only recently started liking stuffing.  I don’t really like pumpkin flavored things.  I don’t really like pecan pie.   All of these I’ll tolerate, but I’m not about to go bananas over them.  So when I found this recipe by Dorothy Kern on Crazy for Crust, I pinned it, thinking it looked pretty but I would never actually make it for myself. Lucky for you all, it’s T’s birthday tomorrow!  And he loooves pecan pie.  So I thought…

    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!…

    This recipe is one of those easy, pretty, and tasty ones!  This works with both spicy and sweet Italian sausage, as I’ve used both and it’s tasty both ways!  I served Drunken Italian Noodles with homemade applesauce and Parmesan edamame beans! Growing up, my mom and I (and sometimes my sister) used to make applesauce all the time!  (This batch was from my mom and she gave me so much, I’ll be eating it for days.)  Basically, we would just cut up apples, stick ’em in a pot with a tiny bit of water to cover the bottom, and let…

    It’s pretty rare that I make a recipe from scratch.  Most times I just browse pinterest until I’m drooling then pick the thing that is most drool-worthy that day.  But these chicken burgers are quite tasty, and I’m pretty proud of them.  Even more so because I snuck a veggie into the burger.  Plus with homemade pesto, I feel like it’s complete. Making pesto feels so summery to me.  Those big basil plants, snitching a few toasted pine nuts that cost way too much but are way too tasty.  I use basil mostly, although sometimes I throw in some parsley…

    beer tasting housewarming: pepper cheddar popcorn;

    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…
