Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

December 16th, 2015Tina2 Comments

One giant cookie is always a good idea. Folks, you’ve heard it here first… I’m officially tired of making cookies for the season. If you follow this blog you probably know why that is. I’ve made about a bazillion of them in the past couple of months (give or take). So… yeah… I’m done. Or am I really done? I think baking one ginormous cookie is the exception because it’s like making a brownie. Technicalities. 😉 I highly recommend using a 9 inch size oven safe skillet for this recipe because the directions are specific to that size. I had previously tried …

White Beans and Rosemary

When you a host a party do you cook for twenty people when you are actually having six over? Please say yes so that I don’t feel like I’m alone on this one. 😉 The world might end if someone left my house even slightly hungry. Okay, I might be a liiiitle dramatic. Making lots of appetizers is one sure way to make sure that my guests leave with a smile and a full tummy. My family loves appetizers so I made plenty of them over the weekend, including these delicious bruschetta. I recommend popping the whole deal in your mouth because …

Cheese Beer Bread

Cheese and beer. What else do you need in life? Oh right, and probably bacon. (There is no bacon here, but there probably should be.) My family is coming over tomorrow for our annual Christmas gathering. We’ll be watching the Army versus Navy football game. Go Army! My dad went to West Point so I’m partial. Anyway, that means there will be a lot of people over and that means a lot of mouths to feed. Football is a good excuse to make a huge pot of chili. Do you see where I’m going with this? 😉 Of course there must …

Gingerbread Drop Cookies

December 9th, 2015Tina12 Comments

It doesn’t feel like Christmas until I’ve had some gingerbread cookies and hot chocolate. (Not necessarily together but I totally recommend it.) Guys, I’m super duper excited to share these cookies with you! I have been looking for YEARS for a good gingerbread cookie that doesn’t require a rolling pin and I’ve finally found it! I love gingerbread man cookies but I have issues with rolling cookies. Maybe it’s the perfectionist in me that feels like I never seem to roll them all to the right size and thickness. There’s got to be an easier way to satisfy my gingerbread craving without …

Mini Spinach Patties

December 7th, 2015Tina0 Comments

Lately, it feels like my life is all about cookies and appetizers. Cookies, cookies, cookies. I’ve been baking them since before Halloween and quite frankly I’m getting a little tired of it (which I say as there is another tray of cookies in the oven). I feel like I never have enough to hand out to friends and family so I pretty much just keep baking until December 25th (even if my husband is telling me that we have no more room in the freezer). Well, now it’s all about the appetizers (which is bit of a welcome break from baking). This …
