So, Sheryl over at Lady Behind the Curtain has started hosting a monthly Improv Cooking Challenge on her blog. The idea is that two ingredients will be assigned each month, and every participant is supposed to create something delicious with those ingredients. This is my first time being invited to do something like this, and I’m…read more »

S’mores Pie

September 25, 2011 3 Comments

Call me crazy, but in my mind s’mores are a fall treat, not summer. I know, I know…summer camp and overnight camping trips –> camp fires –> s’mores and ghost stories.

You’d think all that cooking would be a distraction during school, but he was also acing all his classes, teaching legal research and writing to…read more »

Mini Lemon Curd Tarts

Remember when you were a kid and after you got a shot the doctor would give you a lollipop for being brave? The lollipops were always red, purple, or yellow, and were cherry, grape, or lemon flavored. I always picked the red lollipop, because red was my favorite color, and cherry tasted the best. Yellow-lemon?…read more »

Chicken Pot Pie

March 23, 2011 1 Comment

I noticed the other day that I’ve been making a lot of desserts lately. My last five or six posts have been sweet things — girl scout cookies, molten lava cake, mini pies, etc. Come to think of it, I haven’t made a proper meal since the day we had Chicken Fried Steak for lunch….read more »

Mini Blueberry Pies

Happy Pi(e) Day, everyone! What is Pi Day, you ask? It’s a holiday commemorating the mathematical constant pi. Invented in 1989 by Larry Shaw, a physicist at the San Francisco Exploratorium, it was officially recognized by the US House of Reps as “National Pi Day” in 2009. Basically, it’s a kind of nerdy day that…read more »
