right there, and there, oh, and on the tip of your nose too. How does that saying go? Go big or go home? So if you’re going to make marshmallows early in the morning for some reason that no one remembers, just do it. Use this recipe and make all 24.

You’ve Got A Little Something…

Soup + Sandwich
Usually means Panera but not today. Today I tried something a little different. Ok, now don’t judge me. Instead of lunch at Panera we stopped somewhere a little bit different. Somewhere that serves up their food fried so deliciously golden brown that once you taste it you crave it fortnightly but will suffer mightily if you eat it that often. Mmm… Read the rest of this entry »

Concentrating
We’re all trying to do a little. We went out briefly this morning for a parent-teacher conference and that was it. We stayed in. I tried to think of a reason to go out. I almost succeeded too but in the end I couldn’t come up with anything that I could really justify. So we stayed in… and played. With actual toys. Read the rest of this entry »

One Pot Cincinnati Chili
I can decisively say that this is my favorite chili. I like Jamie’s recipe for chili con carne, Martha’s recipe for turkey chili and the slow cooker white chicken chili from Cooking Light. But Cincinnati chili is definitely my favorite.
This version is a one skillet dish from the Cook’s Illustrated Cover and Bake cookbook. The spaghetti for chili mac really shouldn’t be mixed in like this nor should the beans but in this recipe the macaroni cooks right in the sauce, one pot! Oh, and the beans? Made in the crockpot. I cooked them all day and they got nice and soft. Easy. I put half in the chili and half in the freezer. Read the rest of this entry »

Franks and Beans!
I have a lot of things to share with you today friends. Like this dress I picked up yesterday at Target. I always peruse the clearance rack you know, just in case. I LOVE this dress. I really want to copy the design with some fabric I have in my stash. I just love it, it’s soft and flowy and it’s fully lined. Did I mention that it was on clearance for 6 bucks?! It would have cost me more to buy a pattern and fabric. Excellent deal. The sleeves are kind of longish for short sleeves but it is November so she wore her poncho over top. She loves that thing.

Chicken and Dumplings
Between helping Ben through this morning’s fender bender, making more estimate appointments and being productive at work I managed to work in some time to research this idea for dinner. Chicken and dumplings. It’s another recipe to add to the seemingly unending list of ways to transform leftover chicken into dishes that are similar to but not quite chicken pot pie.

Halloweenin’
So I think we love Halloween around here just a little bit. It comes as a little bit of a surprise because it never meant much to me and Ben has this deep seated moral opposition to all “made up” holidays. But it’s really, really hard not to take just a little pleasure in something that makes the wee ones so very happy. Read the rest of this entry »

Sunday Pot Roast
This dish might be the perfect wrap up to a cold and rainy weekend. I did a little poking around on the internet and came up with this from Elise at Simply Recipes. It’s good, really good. I’ve never truly studied the technique so I was skeptical about being able to braise an entire roast using only a half cup of liquid but it works. I used my biggest pot and it worked just fine in the oven. Although I did find that I had to keep the oven set at 300 to maintain a simmer. My pot worked fine but now my desire for an enamel cast iron dutch oven is rekindled. My birthday and Christmas are coming up. Good timing, no? Read the rest of this entry »

How A Pan Saved the Day
I can’t believe I haven’t written about this griddle yet. I must have. We bought this griddle pan three or four months ago. At the time, I worried about whether I should by this one or the Calphalon equivalent but decided on this one because it’s reversible. If we had gone with the Calphalon we’d have been stuck with the griddle only, though I do believe it’s a little bit bigger. Read the rest of this entry »

Fake It Don’t Make It Stuffed Shells
I can’t explain what the box of giant shells was doing in the cupboard. At some point I must have thought that stuffed shells were a good idea but I can’t imagine why. So after looking at them for several months I pulled them down. Great. Except I didn’t have any ricotta cheese. That probably would have deterred a smarter person but I pressed forward convinced that I could make it work. Read the rest of this entry »
