I’m not sure what goes on in your house but my dogs eat better than I do at times. Take, for example, Thanksgiving. I bought a 15 pound turkey and got maybe 1/4 a pound of turkey. Guess who got the rest? My dogs. So when my dad bought a 4-pound bone-in pork loin the…

Twice Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Honey Butter
I ripped this recipe out of a Bon Appetit magazine a year or two ago and had been wanting to make it ever since. Somehow I never got around to making it until today. The magazine describes the recipe as “easy” but I find it a bit putzy. Still, usually putzy recipes translate to worth…
Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats
It’s been hot here in Southern California considering it’s nearly the end of October. One of my favorite things to eat for breakfast on a hot California morning is a nice cool jar of overnight oats. I think we can all agree that peanut butter and banana are pretty amazing together. This is probably the…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Puffed Rice Bars
A couple months ago I bought a bag of puffed rice, I’m presuming because I likened it to brown rice cereal AKA (brown rice) rice krispies and intended to use it to make some sort of granola bar recipe. Tick-tock, tick-tock. Time passes and the bag of puffed rice sits on its perch in my…
Peanut Butter Granola Dessert Parfait
I found a recipe for Chewy Peanut Butter Granola at the website Something Swanky (thank you, Pinterest) and I knew I had to try it. I love granola. I love peanut butter. I love the idea of having something snack-y on hand. So I tried the recipe and I got to thinking … this is…
Peanut Butter Honey Oat Bites
I decided after my trip to Florida that I would try to continue with my pre-Florida eating because it was so successful to help me lose six pounds in two weeks. So I decided that during the workweek I would stick to my hot water with lemon and smoothie breakfasts, ground turkey lunches and veggie…
Overnight Oats
It just so happens that a lot of the fellow foodies I follow in the blogging community are vegetarian, vegan or some other form of very healthy. This is rather hilarious because I’m not vegetarian, vegan or any sort of healthy. But the way that WordPress.com suggests blogs to follow has allowed me to cultivate…
Corn Dog Muffins
I have a friend who eats like he’s a little kid. When I saw this recipe (sent to me by my grandma), I figured these would be something he would love (and eat about 10 of in one sitting). ingredients. 1 c. cornmeal 1/2 c. flour 2 T. packed light brown sugar 1 T. baking…
Brown Butter Honey Oat Muffins
Of my recent food obsessions (red velvet, brown butter and pancakes), brown butter is the most versatile technique/the easiest ingredient to incorporate into a recipe. For example, this morning I thought to myself, I wonder if brown butter would work well in muffins. So I googled brown butter muffins. And came across about a bazillion…
Spicy-Honey Glazed Nuts
Updated July 2018 Here’s what I wrote about these nuts back in 2011. These didn’t go over all that well at work today – they got mixed reviews. But my dad and I love them! I think they’d make a great homemade gift if you’re into that sort of thing. Apparently I was a blogger…
Brioche
Though often thought of as a sweet bread, I find the overwhelming flavor to be butter. I think this bread would be great as French toast or any kind of sandwich you could imagine.
Homemade Pizza Crust
My first homemade pizza crust. Made with beer!
