The moment I pull them out of the oven, they are all there, like vultures wanting them while the biscuits are still warm. I can’t blame them though because buttermilk biscuits are best hot and freshly baked. Spread some butter and jam on them while ... Read More »
Some things do not get the credit they deserve while things around them get all the fame and glory. Just think of an elite quarterback. He would be nothing without a great offensive line.

I love fresh corn bread right out of the oven. Warm with crispy, crunchy edges, corn bread is perfect with soup, chili, or just on its own.

Every time I have beer bread I am utterly amazed at how delicious it is. It is great simply with butter, but imagine grilled ham and cheese with this ... Read More »
The Super Bowl is over and what a game it was. I always love it when the final game is close. There were too many Super Bowls over the past years that were over by the time the halftime show started. Our family was all happy that the Giants won and Eli showed once again that he is one of ... Read More »
Friday was a P.A. day for the kids. Since they got to stay at home we were able to do some fun things together before I had to leave for a weekend work trip to Niagara Falls. A few weeks ago I made a Seafood Stuffed Monkey Bread. Ever since then the kids have asked me to make the traditional ... Read More »
So today is the last day in the 12 Days of Super Bowl Snacks. There is a good variety of appetizers in these 12 days. For the final day I wanted to try something unique. Monkey bread is a popular recipe that has been around for years. If you have never had monkey bread before, it is quite simple to make. ... Read More »
It did not take long after our Christmas holiday travels for Ben to begin asking when we were going to do another ‘Kids in the Kitchen’ post on the blog. His enthusiasm clearly showed me that he truly enjoys being in the kitchen making food. My brother and his wife got Ben a cookbook geared for kids. It has great ... Read More »
