This recipe is directly from Elise of Simply Recipes. I omitted the green onions and used a generous handful of dried shiitake mushrooms as I did not have any fresh on hand. It made for a nice quick and easy light dinner.

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 ...

Well, we didn't make it to the Fremont Oktoberfest this year, but we did have a nice lunch in the spirit of the event - fresh bratwurst boiled in Possmann Frankfurter Applewine, made in Germany, and then browned up in a skillet, similar to my previous recipe. The apple ...

This recipe was inspired by using up leftovers from a recipe for ham baked in cola. It has since evolved into its own recipe, and it's quite a nice filling fall dinner. It isn't quite fall yet, but it's a cooler evening, and wishful thinking took over dinner ...

Tonight was a resounding bust for dinner. Two packages of rancid meat, well before their sell-by dates, let alone use-by. So irritating. We ended up ordering Chinese, but I did make this quickie apple topping and some bisquick biscuits for dessert. I'm sure it would go great ...

This was a pretty tasty version of paella - a traditional Spanish dish. I've written it as I made it below, but next time I'm going to use skinless boneless chicken thighs cut up, and I'm going to nestle the meats deeper into the rice to better get the ...

This is very loosely based of of a recipe I saw for a Cherry Lemon Custard Tart on some Food Network show a few years ago. If you don't have a cherry pitter, a drinking straw works well, but is somewhat flimsy. I ended up using a little ...

We got a new grill last week. The old one was getting rusty and the gas regulator didn't seem to work too well anymore. Emma was afraid of the big box at first, but after a few treats and toys on top of the box, she got over ...
