Meatballs Baked In Tomato Sauce

August 22nd, 2014Tina24 Comments

Meatballs, meatballs, meatballs. Can you say that three times fast? 😉 My grandmother’s Italian meatballs were the best. I’ve not been able to recreate them since she’s passed away and I’m pretty sure I won’t find her exact recipe so I’ve been on a quest to find the “perfect” recipe. I saw this tasty looking recipe on good old Pinterest. These meatballs are not the typical Italian ones, but I thought I’d give it a try. After all, there are lots of a fantastic meatball recipes out there and they aren’t all Italian. These meatballs are seasoned with warm spices of …

French Baguettes

August 20th, 2014Tina22 Comments

Here’s another dose of Dave’s Bread Corner, courtesy of my awesome bread making hubby… So there I was wondering about new and interesting breads to try to make when it occurred to me that I had absolutely no idea how to make French Baguettes. Well, okay, absolutely no idea may be a little bit of a stretch. Obviously I have plenty of experience making bread, and I have some guesses about what goes in French bread, but I’ve never made it before and I was curious about how exactly one achieves the texture of a baguette. As it turns out it’s really …

When it comes to most foods, I tend to get bored pretty quickly. Meaning, I don’t want the same sandwich or salad five days in a row. However, give me a tasty beverage and I can drink the same one everyday for weeks at a time and never want anything else. I guess I’m kinda funny like that. This single serving of iced honey green tea has been my go-to drink all summer and now it’s time to share it with the world! Ice Honey Green Tea Recipe (1 serving) Ingredients: 1/3 cup water (plus additional for filling glass at …

We’ve had cool temperatures this past week, especially for the middle of August here in Connecticut. That’s especially good since this week our air conditioner died. All this cool weather with open windows at night and fans all over the house got me thinking of my favorite time of the year. Autumn. I love the weather and the food that we notoriously eat that time of year, like apple pie and all the things you can make with pumpkin. I even made some pumpkin bread this past weekend (coming soon to a blog near you). Some might say that means that I’m a …

Blueberry Pie Yogurt Parfait

August 13th, 2014Tina24 Comments

A parfait? You may be thinking, “Been there. Done that.” I never thought I’d post a parfait recipe because there are a bazillion recipes out there (give or take). Quite frankly, who really needs a recipe for piling fruit, yogurt, and granola together? However, the key to this recipe is the blueberry filling and I simply had to share it with you. So who wants blueberry pie for breakfast? Well, sort of. Blueberry Pie Yogurt Parfait Recipe (About 4 servings) Ingredients for Blueberry Filling: 1 and 1/2 cups blueberries 2 tablespoons white sugar 1 and 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon …
