Homemade Chai Tea
I’m back! And it’s Monday, so it’s time for another recipe! It’s funny, four years ago I discovered that a good way to ignore the passage of time is to be 8 1/2 months pregnant on your birthday. I wasn’t the least bit interested in turning 30 because I had a baby on the way Read More …
Crockpot Hawaiian Kalua Pork
A few years back, I wondered if I could replicate the traditional Luau Pork in a crockpot, to serve at a Hawaiian themed party. Internet searches led me to a variation of this recipe, which is both wonderfully flavorful and wonderfully easy! The only catch is that it takes a lot of time. It stews Read More …
Portobello Mushroom Burgers
I love mushrooms! Especially cooked mushrooms. That flavor is just oh, so delectable! So last week I decided to pull out an old recipe, for Portobello Mushroom Burgers! Portobellos rival meat in price per pound, but I think they are lighter than a hamburger would be, and also form a better circle! The boys don’t Read More …
Chocolate “Butter”cream Frosting

Chocolate Wacky Cake
This is a very old cake recipe. It goes back to the depression era when eggs, butter, and milk were both expensive and rationed, so some genius (who is lost in the annals of history) developed this cake. I’ve seen it referred to online as the “Wacky Cake,” “Crazy Cake,” “Depression Era Cake,” and the Read More …
Homemade Seasoned Breadcrumbs
Yum! I have had a very hard time finding breadcrumbs that I can buy. Not very many varieties of bread (especially sandwich bread) have egg in them, but for some reason, most breadcrumbs do contain egg. This is a conundrum to me. But as a result, we seldom make recipes that require breadcrumbs, because of how Read More …
