Basement Brownies
http://www.recipegirl.com/2012/08/01/basement-brownies
I love a recipe with a good story behind it. My family was recently visiting my brother and sister-in-law in beautiful Colorado. As usual with my snoopy nature, I scoured my SIL Sarah’s personal recipes with hopes of finding some new treasures to try. These Basement Brownies. You’ve gotta love a recipe with only 5 ingredients. Super simple. The result is not so impressive-looking, right? Just you wait…! The inside brownie part is slightly gooey, and there are two layers in there that can put anyone into ...

http://www.simplebites.net/blueberry-plum-butter-in-the-slow-cooker
On August 13, 2012. Bull; 51 Comments. Blueberry-Plum Butter (in the slow-cooker). Ach visit to the market in August finds me with 4-5 pints of blueberries in my basket. I always have high ambitions for jam or pie, muffins or cake, and yet invariably, we always gobble them up in enormous handfuls (and the occasional smoothie) before I can work them into a recipe. Last week, I had a busy day. Cookbook, and knew it would be something I could accomplish while highly distracted. Also, a lot of the water is e...

Summer Desserts (Recipe: Blueberry-Raspberry Galette) | Simple Bites
http://www.simplebites.net/summer-desserts-recipe-blueberry-raspberry-galette
On July 9, 2012. Bull; 14 Comments. Summer Desserts (Recipe: Blueberry-Raspberry Galette). Esserts while my parents have been in town have been a delightful parade of local colour and flavour, all featuring summer fruit as their main ingredient, as they should, seeing as it’s July and all. Let’s see, there was a rhubarb-pear crisp. One of my favorite tangy/sweet combinations, made with freshly-picked rhubarb that my neighbor graciously let me harvest from his garden, and this crisp topping. Somehow the o...

S is for summer — and salad, steak and sizzle | What's Cooking?
https://ohmyblog8cooks.wordpress.com/2013/06/13/s-is-for-summer-and-salad-steak-and-sizzle
Just another WordPress.com site. S is for summer — and salad, steak and sizzle. June 13, 2013. It finally feels like summer outside, which means more meals from the grill. My husband handles the grilling in our family. I can grill. I have grilled, but I’m not a fan. I’m mostly scared of lighting the grill. Long story short: Scott saw a ball of flame as he pulled up the drive way the night I decided not to wait for him to get home. Or perhaps it was Grill Power. Ha! Even the picky eater agreed. Remove cas...

I didn’t know I had that … | What's Cooking?
https://ohmyblog8cooks.wordpress.com/2013/07/30/i-didnt-know-i-had-that
Just another WordPress.com site. I didn’t know I had that …. July 30, 2013. I spent 20 minutes organizing my spice cupboard last night. I plan on sorting my pots and pans tonight, and maybe even the pantry, if I have time. This urge to clean and organize is always with me, but every now and then it gets overwhelming and I go on a cleaning/tossing/sorting binge. It usually happens after the holidays, at the start of summer vacation and before a new school year begins. Or maybe I just like to clean. Pound ...

https://ohmyblog8cooks.wordpress.com/2013/06/15/1288
Just another WordPress.com site. The 5 Stages of Grief Baking. June 15, 2013. I got a new iPhone last week. This was after my old once accidentally got tossed in the wash. I can say that now because I have a new phone. And went through the five stages of grief. Me, running to the laundry room: Nooo! It’s not in the wash, it’s not in the wash. Me, after obsessively Googling “Washed iPhone” for two hours: If the rice trick works, I will never, ever complain about anything again. That’s a good thing. Bake i...

Just another WordPress.com site. Men and potlucks aren’t the best combination. May 30, 2013. Here’s a conversation I had with my husband yesterday:. Me: Are you working in Iowa City tomorrow? Scott: Planning on it. Me: Good. I’m making snacks. You can take them in. Scott: Oh, for our potluck? Me: I didn’t know you were having a potluck. I just felt like making treats. Scott: Cool. I was thinking about bringing the rest of the German chocolate cake. I don’t understand how guys think. Divide the mixture ev...

Going bananas | What's Cooking?
https://ohmyblog8cooks.wordpress.com/2013/06/27/going-bananas
Just another WordPress.com site. June 27, 2013. I recently spent a weekend in Chicago with a friend from college. We shopped, listened to live music, ate pizza and ran a half marathon. I swallowed several vitamins and supplements every morning. I learned to like sports drinks and suffered through strength training sessions. I didn’t give up Diet Mt. Dew completely, but I cut back quite a bit. And I finished my first 10 mile run at 11 pm on Mother’s Day. Banana. Banana bunch. Ha! I hate bananas. I’d r...
