French Toast

February 3rd, 2014Tina34 Comments

Ah, February… the most romantic month of the year. I think romance comes in many forms. Perhaps it comes when your partner does a household chore, randomly, when it’s typically your responsibility. Maybe it’s when your best friend, who lives a few hours away, sends you a text saying they miss you. It’s not always about chocolate and flowers (although don’t get me wrong, I love that too). I’m the one who makes 98% of the meals in our home so for me, so when my husband voluntarily makes breakfast on the weekend, I feel like I’ve been swept off …

Zucchini Spice Bars With Spice Frosting

January 31st, 2014Tina52 Comments

I haven’t baked with zucchini in years so I had a random desire to fix that. Sometimes zucchini goodies can come out bland, but not these bars. They are insanely delicious! In fact, I brought them to my niece’s 1st birthday party, but secretly I didn’t want to share them. These zucchini bars are infused with traditional autumnal spices and covered with a sweet spicy frosting. Picture an amazing carrot cake, and you really aren’t far off. Yum! Zucchini Spice Bars With Spice Frosting Recipe (Makes 16 bars) Ingredients for Zucchini Spice Bars: 1 zucchini (equivalent to approximately 1 cup) 2/3 cup dark …

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

My husband is a Patriots fan. Not crazily so, but enough to want to watch them play if we don’t have any other plans. Since I didn’t have any team loyalties before I met him, I followed suit. Something weird happened this season though. I found myself seeking out the Patriots schedule, looking forward to their games, and wanting to learn more about the rules of football. Have I really gotten “into” football? Even my sister gave me a funny look the other day when I was talking about the recent playoff games. Hey, I can love high heel shoes, make-up, and dig …

Crispy Baked Chicken Fingers

January 27th, 2014Tina26 Comments

Finger foods are awesome, especially chicken fingers. They are great for everything from a game party to a wedding reception. You can eat them for dinner, you can eat them enjoying the big game, or you can watch them disappear into even the pickiest kids. Chicken fingers rule! My thing is that I don’t want to eat fried chicken fingers. Well, at least not this time. So how can I bake them and they still taste as great as the fried kind? Meet these tasty baked chicken fingers. They are moist on the inside and mad crispy on the outside. Crispy …

Pound Cake

January 24th, 2014Tina46 Comments

I’m taking it back to basics today. You would think that with all the baking I do I would have a pound cake recipe stashed away, but I don’t. However, for many years my husband has raved about his step mom’s pound cake. Of course I had to seek out her recipe and find out what all the hype was about. (Plus I enjoy baking goodies that my husband loves.) I was not disappointed. This is the best pound cake I’ve ever had! Pound Cake Recipe (Makes 12 to 16 servings) Ingredients: 4 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 pound (equivalent …
