Waffles

My husband is not a stranger to making breakfast for me.  However it seemed extra special when he made these waffles for me on Valentine’s Day. Typically when my husband makes waffles he uses Bisquick and a couple of other ingredients. When he reached for the Bisquick he realized we were out.  Now what?  Honestly, a bagel would have been just fine with me.  However, he was not willing to admit defeat so he turned to Google and found this recipe. I’m glad we ran out of Bisquick because these are the best waffles he’s ever made.  In fact, after my …

Veggie Pizza

Pizza.  Isn’t it the best food to eat while you’re watching football?  It sure is. Who am I kidding?  Pizza is perfect 365 days a year, no matter the occasion.  Football is just a good excuse. It’s sort of a tradition for my husband and I to eat pizza while we watch the Patriots play, even if it’s a frozen pizza from the store.  Yes, sometimes I’m lazy.  😉  The last time we made pizza, we went all out with pepperoni, which is my husband’s favorite.  This time we’re going  vegetarian, which is more my thing. Can you tell that the …

Yeast Rolls

Guys, I made yeast rolls!  Just kidding.  I still haven’t gotten over my aversion to working with yeast.  Why bother when my husband loves to make bread?  Even better, he loves sharing the recipes with you.  Take it away, babe… I don’t know about where you live, but here in Connecticut we seem to get a lot of commercials for restaurants that aren’t even in our state.  Sometimes we are lucky and after years of watching those commercials we actually end up with one of the advertised restaurants here, but more often than not it’s not anywhere near where I …

Skillet Pizza

Last week I only had the desire to eat bagels and pizza.  Does anyone else get into a “food mood”? These food anti-cravings I have are annoying.  They cause me to be grossed out by basically everything that is even remotely good for me.  Worse, this type of food is not good material for food blogging either.  Even my husband, who doesn’t get sick of food easily, said while eating the fourth bagel of the week “we should probably have real food.”  I blame stress at work, getting a flu shot and feeling like crap, and having a cavity filled last …
