	Ricotta-Orange Pound Cake by Alyssa Short Ricotta-Orange Pound CakeI received a lovely loaf pan from my parents for the holidays, and was bound and determined to give it a try this weekend. The recipe I chose was one by Giada de Laurentiis that was featured in Food Network magazine.I've made a few pound cakes in my illustrious non-career as an amatuer cook, but never one this…	1 vote 580 views
	Chinese Crab Cakes by Alyssa Short I suffer from extreme indecisiveness, which is one reason why I'm thrilled when the hubby picks up a cookbook and asks me to make a particular recipe. In this case, the hubby pointed to a picture of some Chinese crab cakes in a small cookbook with no apparent author, and said, "These look good."Very well, then.Not only was this my…	1 vote 416 views
	Green Goodness Veggie Stir-fry by Alyssa Short The little man's gotta-have-it food of the week is ... broccoli. (Admit it. You're broccoli-green with envy, aren't you?)My favorite way to serve broccoli is in any sort of stir-fry. We threw together this light dish to go with our Chinese crab cakes the other night, so the little man wouldn't stare down in his plate in disgust,…	1 vote 248 views
	Tortellini al Forno by Alyssa Short It probably seems as though I'm not cooking as much lately, because I haven't been posting as much. In truth, I've been cooking a lot. But I'm having a recipe drought. I've made a few on-the-fly recipes that have turned out really well, but I wasn't expecting them to, so I didn't take photos. Meanwhile, I've had a slew of recipes with…	1 vote 450 views

	Korean Chicken Noodle Bowls by Alyssa Short I love Korean food. Of course, I've only eaten Korean food either at home or at Japanese restaurants, so I have no idea if I love real Korean food. But I do love my version of Korean food.So I jumped all over this recipe, which I saw in Rachael Ray's Everyday magazine. What's not to like? Stir-fry? Good. Noodles? Good. Kimchi-like…	1 vote 336 views
	M&M Caramel Brownies by Alyssa Short I have a confession. I'm addicted to buying seasonal candies. And not just candies that are around only for specific seasons, such as Cadbury Mini Eggs (the world's perfect food). I can't resist the allure of the Reese's peanut butter cups or the Hershey's kisses in all their foil-wrapped loveliness of rotating colors. (I'm convinced…	1 vote 366 views
	Chocolate Cream Cheese Sugar Cookie Bars by Alyssa Short And in my continuing saga of baking pan issues, I bring you Volume III: Chocolate Cream Cheese Sugar Cookie Bars.This is a Hershey's recipe that combines a sugar cookie crust with a cakier chocolate cheesecake-like topping. And although I never met a cheesecake I didn't like, I actually prefer mine with a cookie crust rather than…	1 vote 1546 views
	Shredded Pork Gyros by Alyssa Short Shredded Pork GyrosI'm a big fan of my slow cooker. And a big fan of shredded meat. And a big fan of any recipe that requires 5 minutes or less of preparation. This is a good recipe for me.I recently saw a recipe for some Greek-style shredded pork, and while the recipe itself didn't speak to me, the idea did. So I threw together a few…	1 vote 471 views
	Chicken Marinara Soup by Alyssa Short Chicken Marinara SoupThe little man turns 1 year old this week (my, how time flies!) and keeping up with him is a challenge. And keeping up with him and cooking dinner every night is just short of impossible.The good news is that Jack is quite possibly the least picky eater in the house. so far, he's not a huge fan of chicken…	1 vote 470 views
