What’s In Your Kitchen Wednesday

To Oklahoma and the city of Moore, you’re in my thoughts and prayers.  We’re no strangers to tornadoes here in Kansas, but the devastation there is simply heartbreaking.  If you’re wondering how you can help, there is a great list of resources here.

To the person whole stole our credit card number yesterday and tried to purchase a bunch of prepaid T-Mobile cards: I’m giving you a big thumbs-down.

And to those of you using WordPress and the Comment Reply Notification plug-in: have any of you had difficulties getting it to send your replies?  When I first started using this plug-in before Christmas, it worked just fine.  But then it.just.stopped.  Even my tech consultant can’t figure it out and I am at my wits end.  I’ve been giving it the stink-eye for nearly the last five months and still…just nothing.

Okay…let’s get onto the features!

This week’s top viewed post was Nieman Marcus Brownies from I Dig Pinterest and I Did It Too.  Don’t they look fab?  And easy, too!

And um?  This Coffee Heath Bar Crunch Cake from Confessions of a Baking Queen pretty much combines everything I love in one cake!

Basically, adding Oreos to a recipe guarantees I want to eat.it.all. Like this Quick and Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Oreo Pie from Living Well Spending Less.  YUM.

Now that the weather is finally starting to warm up here, I chomping at the bit to break out our ice cream maker.  First on my list to try this season?  These S‘mores Sundaes with Homemade Marshmallow Ice Cream from Dress This Nest.

You know my love of Mexican-inspired dishes.  I’m kind of drooling over this Fiery South-of-the-Border Mac and Cheese from A Bright and Beautiful Life.

Cheesy Chicken Doritos Casserole

This cheesy chicken Doritos casserole comes together fast and easy, and will please even the pickiest of eaters! #recipe #dinner #Mexican

The thing about food blogging, I've realized, is that it may give people the wrong impression about how we live our lives in my house. Our meals aren't plated up fancy when we sit down to eat dinners during weeknights.  Or on the weekends, if you want the real truth. We're eating on mismatched plates, with the dinner table covered in kindergarten worksheets, newsletters, crayons, and board games. And while I love making meals entirely from scratch, our lives just don't allow it most days.  Instead, our dinners look more like this chicken cheesy Doritos casserole more nights than not. … [Continue reading...]



Chocolate Salted Caramel Muddy Buddies

caramel-muddy-buddies-title

These Chocolate Salted Caramel Muddy Buddies got me a "thumbs-up" around my house over the weekend. I live with a pretty tough dessert crowd. The Tall Boy doesn't like desserts at all, and Doodle only likes to eat frosting off of brownies like these. Writing a food blog means I make lots of goodies - and I think its become so expected that I have some sort of dessert item sitting on the counter at any given time, that no one really gets that excited when I make some new sweet. But really, who can resist muddy buddies?  You can see that Doodle had a very difficult time keeping his hand out … [Continue reading...]



Cookies and Cream Fudge Brownies

Cookies and Cream Fudge Brownies = chocolate cookie gooey heaven. I've made these cookies and cream fudge brownies twice in the last week. And for good reason. They are really that good.  Plus, Doodle asked me to.  I can't say no to that cute kid. The first time, I made 'em just for fun...I was craving a rich, dense, fudgy brownie, and I had a bag of Hershey's Cookies and Cream Candy Drops that needed to be put to good use. After Doodle ate one of these, he immediately asked if I would make a batch for him to take to school to share with his friends.  Because he has a summer … [Continue reading...]

What's In Your Kitchen Wednesday

So, we have eight school days left here, and then the madness of summer begins: basketball camp, karate camp(s), t-ball games, swimming lessons, and "Fun Factory" days...what ever happened to the "lazy days" of summer?  Also: can I sign up for some of this instead of work, laundry, and grocery shopping? Do any of you have super awesome summer plans?  Or maybe just relaxing summer plans?  We're tossing around the idea of driving to Silver Dollar City for a short family-friendly vacation in either July or August, which (1) could be really fun; or (2) could be miserable in the heat of the … [Continue reading...]
