This post is sponsored by La Terra Fina, a San Francisco Bay Area maker of delicious dips, spreads and ready-to-eat quiches. I used their Artichoke & Jalapeño dip to create these bite-sized cocktail meatballs.  I was contacted earlier this month by a representative of La Terra Fina, a San Francisco Bay Area-based company that makes …

Lamb korma: lamb shoulder braises in a spicy, creamy sauce with veggies, and is served over Indian rice. I have tried Indian food at least three times, but was never that happy with the dishes I'd tried (except naan bread — how could anyone dislike naan bread??). I'm not averse to spicy foods, so it wasn't …

Whole wheat apple spice mini muffins are a healthy, tasty treat, and the perfect size for little toddler mouths! It's been a crazy couple of weeks. Going back to work, Ice Cream Week, getting back into a fitness routine ... I haven't had much time to bake, so Snack Share Wednesday has either been cut-up …

I believe I have confessed before that I was rather picky as a child. For a period of time, I boycotted tomatoes in all forms (even pizza). For nearly two decades, I refused to touch any kind of fish or shellfish. The most "exotic" cuisine I would eat was Americanized Chinese takeout. I'm happy to …

My toddler is being a little backwards. I tried introducing purees when he was about six months old. He wanted none of it: no purees, no spoon-feeding. I later discovered that his issue was, he didn't want ME feeding him purees. Mommy was for milk only. Even then, though, he showed a much greater preference …

So, did you enjoy the Pepper Party? I enjoyed finding so many new ways to cook with bell peppers! Our family also enjoyed an extended Columbus Day weekend. I had an "early out" from work on Friday (I got out at 2 p.m. instead of 5 p.m.), and had Monday off. We visited with family …

Back in August, I saw a tweet from Cook the Story, asking for bloggers to join her in a "pepper party" — a series of bell-pepper themed posts, sponsored by Divemex. I got excited, because, raw or cooked, I love bell peppers! Raw bell pepper strips dipped in hummus is one of my favorite snacks. Did …

As soon as I saw the March issue of Food Network Magazine in my mailbox, I was excited. The entire issue was dedicated to cheese. Cheesy appetizers. Cheesy main dishes. Cheesy desserts. And 50 different varieties of macaroni and cheese. As soon as I saw the Butternut Bleu Cheese Mac and Cheese in the pullout …

It's the What's Cooking Recipe Swap again, hosted by A Taste of Home Cooking! The theme of the swap was celebrity recipes. I submitted the salted caramel brownies I made from Ina Garten's book Foolproof. In return, I received a recipe for chicken pot pie, a Martha Stewart recipe, from Mary Ellen's Cooking Creations. I …

The latest swap was Blogger's Choice, and my assigned blog was DeLish. If that sounds familiar, it's because I made her potato pancakes late last year for a holiday-dishes-themed swap.  I perused her blog, and found a recipe called Ziti for Two Made with Bolognese. It sounded perfect, not only because it's just The Mister …

It's Blogger's Choice Recipe (well, more like Blog) Swap again! Sarah from A Taste of Home Cooking assigns us a blog, and we get to choose which recipe to make. My assigned blog was Kylee Cooks.  I found many recipes that I wanted to make, and finally settled on chicken taquitos. Taquitos are small corn …

In college, I pretty much lived on Kraft boxed mac and cheese, Cheez-Its, and ramen noodles. It wasn't until I went to a boyfriend's home for dinner that I tasted "real" mac & cheese. And oh, how delicious it was! Real cheddar cheese, crunchy bread crumb topping . . . I could've eaten the whole …

I went through a phase as a child where I hated red sauce. I wouldn't eat spaghetti if it had been touched by red sauce (I had my spaghetti with butter and parmesan cheese on one plate, and my meatballs with a smidge of red sauce on a different plate). No lasagna. I wouldn't even …

In preparation for the arrival of the newest member of the DNCWWO household in early December, I'm compiling a list of recipes to freeze, as I'm sure I won't have much time for cooking once the baby arrives. I have a few favorites, but I wanted to test out some new recipes, too. I also …
