Kitchenarian Orange Chocolate Chip Muffins

Sous Chef here, back home for the last bit of summer! I had a great experience at my museum internship, but I really lacked the right equipment and stock ingredients to bake while I was away. That being said, ten whole weeks without baking was both gloomy and inspiring! I made up for it by [...]

I have missed Sous Chef. I miss her sweet face and I miss the delicious goodies that she bakes for all of us. Sous Chef has been gone this summer working as a summer intern at a museum. She has been home a couple of times, but has spent most of her weekends exploring the [...]

July 20, 2012

I am sending my second child off to college next month. Hard to imagine, but true. This is my pizza eatin’, lacrosse lovin’, firefightin’ boy. In preparing for his departure, I left two printouts on his desk this week: one was “How To Use Chopsticks” and the other was “How To Tie a Bowtie”. These [...]

Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce

July 19, 2012

“The secret is in the sauce.” I have heard people say that the difference between preparing foods at home and dining out is often the amazing sauces created in the restaurants. If you can create those sauces at home, you never have to eat out again. Well, I think that while a lot of that [...]

Kahlua Brownies

I miss vacation. Just a couple of weeks ago our family was away with friends hangin’ out and just relaxing. Today I am sitting at my desk working on three different projects with looming deadlines.

Glazed Doughnut Ice Cream

July 10, 2012

This is so bad, but oh so good. I don’t usually buy doughnuts. It’s not that I don’t like them, but more because they are so bad for you. One doughnut is not too bad, but who can eat just one?? Not me. I might eat the whole box if I had them in the [...]

Asian Slaw

Occasionally, I work at The Husband’s office. Sometimes I help him with a few things and sometimes I just need a change of scenery to work on my own writing projects. What does he do, you ask? Well, at home we call him a computer guru, but I guess technically he is a web developer. [...]
