More Holiday Baking
December 23rd, 2010
I love sugar cookies! Well, eating them. Not so much making them. I refuse to roll or cut-out cookies. I just don’t have the time, patience, skill or equipment to do this properly. And as much as I love frosted sugar cookies, making and applying frosting is one more step in the baking process that overwhelms me. When
Holiday Baking
December 22nd, 2010
I wasn’t sensing alot of enthusiasm about holiday baking in my home this year. Not that we don’t love cookies, we are just tired of our ever increasing body mass! So I hadn’t really planned on baking any cookies. But when I volunteered to bake cookies for an event held by a local non-profit, attitudes

I do love Christmas. Who doesn’t right? However, this year I’m coming up a bit short on Christmas spirit. Not alot, just a little short. I felt I was much more excited about Halloween and Thanksgiving. I’m doing everything right. I’ve decorated, I’ve baked, I’m watching Christmas movies. However, I feel extremely disorganized and lost

Vegetarian Beef Stroganoff
December 3rd, 2010
Whenever my mother made beef stroganoff during my teens, I couldn’t get enough of it. I would eat plate after plate. And somehow I always maintained a 113 pound figure despite this. (Oh metabolism, where have you gone???) Now as an adult when I make it, I exercise significantly better portion control! But its so
Dill Chick-ett Casserole
December 1st, 2010
I love dill and any excuse to use it. So when I came across this recipe with the word “dill” in the title at the Allrecipes website, I had to give it a try. And the bonus - it is such an easy recipe! It only consists of 6 ingredients. I’ve made this several times now. Its always
