    02/15 /No Comments

    Whether you call it St. Patrick’s Day or St. Paddy’s day, one thing is certain about March 17th, it is a great day for a party. St. Patrick’s day represents a day of celebration and for adults can also include a toast or several in honor of. Anyone can be Irish for a day and you are doubly lucky if you are Truly Irish!

    Cast Iron Skillet Lasagna

    05/21 /No Comments

    I love love love lasagna! We haven’t been able to find a spot I consider great since moving to Colorado so I decided to make my own! I used my cast iron skillet of course and couldn’t be happier with the results. Okay maybe a touch more sauce, cause I like it saucy, would have been my only change. Can’t wait for y’all to try it and let me know what you think! I used regular-boil lasagna noodles since I personally am not a fan of oven ready. This also cuts the time down to an already very time consuming recipe!

    Best Pizza Ever!

    04/26 /No Comments

    As y’all know I am a homemade kinda cook. After spending way too much on pizza that I didn’t like from restaurants I decided to tackle homemade pizza dough! I have tweaked and merged a few recipes together and voila! Have found the perfect mix. In stand mixer mixing bowl stir together the warm water, sugar & yeast. Attach your dough hook and let stand until the mixture is foamy, about 10 minutes. While the yeast is proofing, combine flour, and salt in a separate mixing bowl. Once the yeast is foamy, add the flour/salt mixture & olive oil to the bowl and turn on mixer to about speed 3…

    Whole Wheat Honey & Banana Pancakes

    04/13 /No Comments

    Pancakes! What is there not to like? Bread like goodness with syrup! I have learned however, there is an art to making the perfect pancake and while I am not at perfection level by any means, I have discovered a few key points and created a fantastic recipe for tasty, fluffy pancakes! Anatomy of a Pancake (Written by Rick Martinez on Bonappetit) Flour and liquid create the structure in any dough. Mixing the two together develops gluten, the protein that gives elasticity to dough. When making bread, gluten is a good thing; it allows the bread to hold its structure and supports the formation of the gas bubbles created by…
