Corned Beef and Cabbage Hash

Friday, March 19th, 2010

A quick and easy breakfast that I packed up to take to work with me today. I just melted half a tablespoon of butter in a large skillet, used kitchen shears to cut my last wedge of cabbage and 2 slices of corned beef into little pieces, added them ...

Eggs in Purgatory

Monday, March 1st, 2010

This is a very easy and cheap dinner, easily scaled for however many you need to serve. I have the recipe for one below, as tonight Shaun and I were just foraging thanks to a headache I had earlier that precluded any major cooking that might involve such things ...

A couple easy dinners from this weekend

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Saturday we had waffles for dinner - pathetically easy bisquick waffles, which I enhanced with some corn. I ended up with a couple cans of corn a few months ago from someone else's groceries that ended up in my bag, and this was a good use for one of ...

Apple and Sausage Oven Pancake

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

I got this recipe from the Betty Crocker Ultimate Bisquick Cookbook. I doubled it and made it in a 9x13 pan, as I was looking to use up 1 lb of bulk sausage, and the original only called for 8 oz of brown and serve links. I also ...

Pumpkin Buttermilk Pancakes

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

This is a variation of mine on the excellent recipe for buttermilk pancakes in The Joy of Cooking. The dusting of powdered sugar at the end was an idea of Shaun's after our first stack, and it really brought out the pumpkin flavor. I think next time I ...

Pumpkin Bread with Chocolate Chips

Peach Muffins

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

This is a slight modification of this Allrecipes recipe for peach muffins. I made about a third of the recipe so I wouldn't have too many muffins sitting around. We're just starting to get really good peaches here in the Northwest, so this was a great use for ...

What We’ve Been Eating

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

So, I've been a bad blogger and not really posting about our meals. There have been a lot of tried and true recipes with the occasional small twist, so not much new, but I'll post a bit of a summary anyway. Galbi with Sautéed Summer Squash and Rice Pork, Mushroom, and ...

Pumpkin Monkey Bread

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

Back in December, I tried a mix from Target for Pumpkin Monkey Bread. It was quite good, and I made a note to try to replicate it. Yesterday talking to my mom, she mentioned making sweet potato biscuits for a Kentucky Derby dinner, and it set off the ...
